If you like to crash into things then this is for you. You have to love a game that has a mode dedicated to causing as much carnage as possible. I loved crash mode. Not only do you get to break stuff but it is challenging as well. It requires a lot of thought and planning to figure out how to maximize your score on each scenario. Road rage mode where the goal is to wipe out your competitors is pretty cool too. The crashes are truly spectacular. They are completely unrealistic but a quite fun to watch just the same. The ability to do mid-air course corrections is a nice touch as well. There is nothing more fun than to be taken out by a competitor then landing on top of him with a bit or aerial guidance. My biggest frustration is the actual races. I am not enthused with the driving model and there is not much difference in the handling between the different cars. I also lose a lot as it does not take much to send your car into aerial somersaults. Once I was able to gold medal all of the crash scenarios I pretty much dropped the game for more realistic racing sims.
