Good fun. Could have been better.

It's awesome to see the physics in games taking off, sort of gives us a better idea of what to expect in the future.
First of all, if i could have, the sound would be deep into the negatives. That is in no way, racing music. More like, "I'm going to put crappy whiney music in, in attempt to ruin this awesome racing game, because daddy didn't buy me that hot pink Ferrari when i turned 16." I am glad i was able to turn of the music and run WMP in the background without problems, but there was still audio conflicts, sometimes it seemed like it was trying to override audio with a buzz or hum from the fx audio.
The racing seemed less than great, but not bad. The sense of speed isn't up to par with other games. All the destruction sort of makes up for it.
The tracks were fairly short and restricted which had me wanting more.
Even though, for the most part, theres lots of junk around to mess with, it gets a bit redundant laying around after 2 or 3 laps.
I didn't play too much into the mini-games, because they just suck, but thats not really effecting score, as its easily ignored.
Before I got the game, I had read around a little, and bugs and other problems were mentioned. I was greatly suprised that the only problem I had the entire time was nomore than 1 or 2 crashes or freezes, which im glad for since alot of games hate my high-end hardware.
If not for the crap music, the game would have gotten an 8. Definitely worth looking into if your into racing games, check the bargain bins, but not worth going out of your way for.
