If you want some smash and boom, play this one coz it has lots of it.
you will never feel bored while on Main missions because every mission will look like a new experience. But, sadly side missions are boring and are without a storyline.
Third Person Action is bad. only driving rocks, and cars are repetetive i.e. there are a few cars in the game and every time you turn a corner you see them again and again.
Gameplay : Good or above average.
Driving and Car Control: Excellent (once you get used to it).
Graphics : Average (dont compare its graphics with GTA).
and no Advanced Graphics Settings...
System Req: works good on at least a 9400GT
Sound: Good sound effects.
Music: Excellent.
Story: Intresting, but doesnt give you a satisfactory ending.
Side Missions: Get boring after you play each one a few times.
Bugs: Very few.
