Its beautiful; it plays, sounds and looks great, just short on content...which was expected.

Good thing this game was only $40, though $30 would have been better for less than half of a full game. Not much has changed as far as gameplay goes, its not for the undetermined, though the new racing-line feature makes it more accessible. The new drift feature in the arcade mode is a neat new addition, though a tutorial would have been nice. The limited selection of cars is pretty pathetic, most of the flagship cars for each manufacturing company make an appearance, but it leaves you wanting for more variety (wow...who needs 6 different models of a Skyline, and where the hell is Toyota?). There's only a handful of tracks, though they are superbly well done; I just wish they added the Nurburgring into the mix.

The game looks and sounds great, especially on an HDTV with surround sound hooked up. Driving the new GT-R made me swoon.

Bottom Line: Pick it up only if you can't hold out for whenever the full game comes out. I only bought it because I had to get my virtual hands on the GT-R, so unless you're a car enthusiast or racing fanatic, just wait.
