The cars look, sound, and definitely ACT like how they should (you can easily tell between good and bad handling ratings.) I have not had a chance to try multiplayer due to an update error, so I must say that Atari fell short on that side (check others for multiplayer review.) While is's too bad they took out lots of buildings (Ala Moana Shopping Center (the Hotel is in the wrong location), Hickham Air Force Base, Kaneohe Marine Corps Base, Pearlridge Shopping Mall (would've been nice to go crashing through like in The Blues Brothers), and some others), It's still refreshing to go cruising on the North Shore or driving through downtown Waikiki. Unfortunately, the random traffic may force you to restart some times and let you progress others. Anyways, this game gets my kudos.
