I'm sorry, but i don't know how this game is receiving great reviews. While the story line and the ability to crate most aspects of the game are great, I feel that this game is a miss on what should matter the most...RACING!

That is ridiculous! When the best thing about a game is not what the main point of the game (in this case racing) then the game isn't that good.The racing aspect of this game is a total miss. The powerups are cool, but the racing mechanics should have been made differently.This game couldn't tie Mario Karts shoe! and to think I traded in Mario Kart and my sims racing (both on Wii) for this crap! I feel duped. I should have gotten Blur instead of this game.
