New racing game by Codemaster who made the previous Colin McRae racing series. I'm not a big fan of racing games but this one's graphics really caught my eye and decided to give it a shot. The graphics are definitely one of the best for current racing games, great looking tracks, scenery and cars. Like most racing games you earn money by completing career races, lot of vehicle customizations. Theres six different racing disciplines which gives you a lot of variety and not making the game boring doing the same thing over and over. The six racing disciplines are rally, rally cross, hill climb, CORR, crossover, and rally raid varieties. The game also informs you of what types of races there are, vehicle, upgrades, tracks, does a good job to help explain game details. The physicals of vehicle damage also looks awesome, models are very detailed and realistic, even mud from the track will kick up and stick to the car. I'm able to run the game with graphics maxed out and the game is very smooth, but from what I've read in other sites that its a resource hog on average computers but thats expected with the amount of detail in this game. Sound could have been a little better but it doesnt take anything away from the game. Main negative thing I have found with the game and a lot of people are complaining about that vehicles feel a little floaty and light, some people might have a hard time adjusting to the feel of it, personally I dont think its to bad, something you can get used to. If you're a racing fan I'm sure you'll enjoy this entertaining game.

Runs flawless @ maxed graphics on:
AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core 6000+ AM2,1MBx2,3.0GHz
OCZ Plat XTC 2GB DDR2 800MHz
BFG GeForce 8800GTX OC 768MB 600MHz
