Don't believe the poor reviews, this game is good!
First play of it and i thought lovely graphics, good sound (apart from the soundtracks that play in the game, not my cup of tea) and how hard it was.
I thought this game was impossible to play, until i realized this ain't the type of game you permanently speed around at top throttle!
When you sit and take in the controls and different vehicle physics, the game does become very addictive.
The framerate is top notch, the crashes can be spectacular (apart from that if you have crashed very weakly and not done too much damage, it can be very annoying waiting for the slowed down sequence to finish, as you just wanna get back to the race), but perfect for multiple pile ups! I can't believe I've read reviews where people have stated the terrain physics are a little poor and off putting. Where you can hit a small bump and fly off somewhere!
WHAT?
That is what the games suppose to be like.....what do you think driving over rough rocky desert terrain and muddy paths is suppose to be like?
I'll admit the game is pretty short with not many tracks, but that suits me just fine.
The tracks on offer will grow on you and you will soon find your way around these tracks with shortcuts and all fresh in mind.
I honestly think the number of tracks in this game is quite pleasing....ok...one or two more would be welcome, but i cant stand racing games where there are tons of tracks, with whom, most are just plain boring and rubbish!.
This game uses what tracks its got and can make you a god at negotiating them.....just check out the online mode!!
Online is just great and you will soon learn what your skill levels are like up against the legend players that already own the tracks.
Now with the 'time trial' mode which the game updates for you or you can get from the online store is a nice welcome addition and I'm sure theres still more life in this game with HOPEFULLY, more support from Evolution Studios as this game is just a superb and different racing game then the rest of the racers.
A welcome addition to your games collection!!
