Rock 'n' Roll!!!
Single player is great, I’ve yet to play multiplayer but I love it.
I think Gamespot’s review score is terrible and also are their reasons for giving it such a low score. I think the driver-launching mechanism is fine and used appropriately rather than just tapping the back of you car on something that won’t budge then flying out of… you know where I’m going with this.
One you've continued down the career path a little longer, you'll notice how ridiculously fast the cars get, especially after applying the nitro! The speed can then be applied to say, the rear of someone elses car which always amounts to a hilarious chaotic crash.
The difficulty level gets gradually higher as well (a good curve though) and even though you'll find you have lots of money to begin with, the higher the prize, the harder it gets, the more you'll be upgrading your car, the more you'll be hanging on to those pennies.
The PC has been really short on a brilliant racer for ages now (ok, NFS Most Wanted was cool) so why not give this a chance whilst taking into consideration the amount of cack and repetitive racers out there. I thought this was a well programmed piece of work.
…Oh yeah, the soundtrack’s wicked. Yellowcard’s ace and forgive me if you’re a fan, but I’ve never heard of Alkaline Trio. I’ve now found them by playing this game, and think they’re amazing.
Right then, onto more crashing! Vroom Vroom!!!!
