If you like racing nonstop, and nothing else then this game is for you. This game grabbed me, then about an hour later it dropped me flat on my face. I found out that you start with a normal car, one of the ones that you will see your grandpa driving. Now that okay, the game puts a nice spin on it. The object is to transform shrapnel, to a driving monster. And that all to easy to do. There are classic races such as circuit, drag, sprint. But the game also throws in drift and street-X. But thats it, and this game doesnt exactly have a great story line to make up for it. The story line is: you were once a racing god, some guy almost killed you, now you have to build up your rep again. But later in the game, you realize that the same guy is gonna take over the racing industry and make it his, and you have to keep winning to get sponsors on your side and not his...thats it. There are no boss fights, no exceptionally hard races, but there is an exciting thing known as outrun. All you do is drive down the open road, encounter another racer, and challenge him. What you do then is pass him up, then take corners, shortcuts, and sidestreets to get at least 1000 yards away from him. This is the real competition, but after you beat a few the game will stop sending them out, forcing you to complete the original races. Not a good game. Just for viewers sake, i only put value as the greatest because in the artists lingo, value is used to describe how many shades you have of one color, just letting you know.
