My first impression of this game was "wow, what an early-generation game." I was lead to this assumption by the sub-par graphics of Need for Speed Most Wanted. However, upon second consideration, the graphics really aren't that bad, but they could be better. That is the only downfall in this game. Other than that, the storyline is very immersive, it builds a passion for your character, and and even bigger passion to defeat Razor. As for game play, it is just the same as any other racer, and very smooth to drive. The customization of your car(s) is very neat, and I rather enjoyed that 'personal touch' aspect of the game. So if you like racers and have always had that guilty need to run from the cops, buy this game, and hey, add 1000 points to your gamer score while you're at it.
