A lot of mixed reactions. But still take nothing away from what this game does so well.
This game has some really good graphics no matter what platform you play it on. The visual presentation is just so good the only words that can describe it are: 'Jaw Dropping visuals, man!'. But its not just the car models and tracks that look great, the damage models look awesome as well and it really makes you want to damage yor car just to see the wreckage. That being said the lighting is also very cohesive with the presentation of the car models. The light just makes the cars look so shiny and make the tracks look more realistic and a liitle bit shiny as well.
There are two new camera angles in this game then in any other racers, the zoomed-in cockpit camera and the not zoomed-in cockpit camera. These two new variations provide a nice look at what really happens behind the wheel of a dirt racing car. Although some cars have a very small space between the front windshield and the car's body frame, the racing still looks good from where you would be sittiing in the cockpit.
There are also 6 racing diciplines for you to endauvuer. These races vary from you driving a buggy ofroad, to a Mitsubishi on a tarmac, to a big rig climbing a hillside. These races are really fun and they can get really immersive if you crank up the difficulty a little bit. Then there is the carrer mode where your basically just racing and getting points, unlock cars and purchase other stuff for your cars (to suup it up a bit).
Then there is the cons of this game. First of all, the cars can get preety unreal to be true. For instance, you will see some of your cars float through the track without the rear bumper even coming close to the road. Then there is that multiplayer mode. This mode is a real dissapointment seeing as how all you can do is battle time trials with your friends. There aren't even any races where you and a friend (or possibly even three other friends at least) are pit against each other in a test of pure video gaming and care handling skill. If only those kind of races where in the multiplayer for it would have been a much better mode if it did have competitive races instead of just time trials, which are really boring after a while.
Well anyway, this game is a real piece of work with all the pros and cons considered. Furthermore, there are too little cons to knock this racer off the track staright into your gaming library. So of your a hardcore or just a regular racer, just get this game. You wont be sorry, most of the time. HEHEHEHE.
