Solid game, but lacks depth

I would have to say that I am sorry for jumping to a conclusion about this game the first day I got it, just skimming over and doing a couple of races, I was very disappointed with the game's extras, or lack there of. there were no special paint schemes and some key drivers were missing. after spending an entire day of driving, it grew on me. i enjoyed the races, competition, and handling of the car.

i tried the fight to the top mode where you go through the career of a driver and fight for money, prestige, and race wins. the mode was very exciting and kept me very interested. i signed contracts, gained teammates, rivals, allies and the all important factor, money. i enjoyed driving the welen series and craftsman trucks. the races are short, but can be extended to only 25% of natural length, put pit strategy does come into play. the interior race graphics are nice with the car blurring and handling abilities. i would have to say that the crash sequences and camera angles are not so great. the cars barely fall apart or flip in a convincing angle, basically they moves like a block of wood in wrecks.

all in all a great game that i will play again and again, but i am disappointed in the lack of game depth, graphics, music choices, and multiple paint schemes especially for big time drivers in multiplayer mode.
