I find this game on par with NFSU. It has something more though.

I feel that people will overlook this game because of the poor score it received. I encourage all who read this to either buy the game or rent it before you pass judgement on it. I was a little skeptical myself when I saw it in the store, but I decided to buy it and have enjoyed it more than NFSU. You can actually drive around 3 cities, unlike in NFSU where you are stuck in the same dark, and dull city. All the races don't take place at night either which is a good change. The only thing I actually agreed with in the gamespot review is the issue of the sense of speed in this game. I don't find it to be too big of a problem since all racing game's have a different sense of speed to them. It isn't a big deal really. Try it out and I hope you have as much fun as I have.
