This game has done the Hat Trick. It's a sensational single player game, it has great graphics, and absorbs the gamer enough to hold replay value. After all, isn't that what we're all looking for? Ok, with exception of multi-player, that is. There are variety of vehicles, tracks, and obstacles to keep excitement levels up, but not so difficult that you're ready to throw the game down and walk away. The options for vehicle setup are abundant, come with explanation, and tries to be friendly enough to convince you to give the attention required to dial in these vehicles. Though tedious, if you chose to experiment, the reward can be there when dropping a second or two from your current lap time. The only TRUE disappointment of this game is the multi-player. You do not actually race against someone else, but against clock. Communication is limited to a pre-fashioned text list, unless you use the 360 chat feature with a friend(s). The feel, for the most part, is you're still playing single player, but get to enjoy the frustration comprising the "lobby" experience.
