An overall solid game.
Gameplay: 8
The gameplay is spread out amongst five different modes, but when broken down to their basics, they stick closely to the original two modes which are Race and Gladiator. In race mode you will find yourself in a high-paced action packed competition for first place, even if your opponent is faster, or you crash and he passes you, the weaponry equiped on your vehicle can allow you to either desimate his car directly or make use of the many destructable items in the enviroment to regain your rightful place. In gladiator mode you find a gangsterized demolition derby where your sole purpose in life is to destroy everything you can.
One drawback is a lack of differentiation between levels, however this is pretty common amongst car games so its not too shabby.
Graphics: 9
They are next gen quality and thats all you want out of release titles.
Sound: 6
Pretty basic sound effects and lacks in good music to match the high-speed action the game presents.
Value: 8
A very enjoyable game for most, though I suggest you rent it first.
Personal Tilt: 7
Its a game I can enjoy with my friends though the singleplayer ends up being a chore to obtain vehicles and weapons.
