you start off driving one of the best cars in the game, until some underground racers jack your car. After that you hook up with a new car, and start racing. Cut scenes are great, some stupid, but stupid-funny. I think the controls could be a little better, I don't really like the RT button as accelerate, my hands get cramped after a while from constantly holding it down, but the controls in general ok. The graphics are good, but I dont think they are as good as Burnout or PGRs. Fun action, I dont think police chases are that great (they are usually a lot slower than your car, or you can loose them easily). The only thing that could get a little better in the sense of speed in the game. The fast cars never seem like they go too fast, and your are either usually way ahead of your opponents by a few seconds, or down by a few seconds. I have yet to experience a real close, nail biting finish. Overall, game could be improved, and i wouldnt go to it as my first racing game choice.
