Almost, but not what i was hoping
When i saw the game on tv, and in the end on my xbox i was so excited to start ripping around in the new R8's and GT-R's that id kill to own in life but i was sadly let down because of the similarities all the cars ultimatly share. I really didnt feel a diffrence in one to car other, other than the speed of course, from my 370z to my GT-R. It might also just be a nit picky thing but the speedometer on the side is so blah and unintresting, in some of the nfs games you were able to change this which made it more exciting and added to the customization of the game. And the whole idea of being able to put two different types of rims on a car really is unnecessary and makes it annoying when your adding rims to your car.
Ultimatly the game really didnt feel like it was aimed at a more mature audience but more for the 10-14 year olds, my 11 year old brother loves the game and would probobly give it a 8 or a 9, but when you go and play a game like forza 2 and you see the diffrence between the two, it really makes you think about what they could of done with this game.
