I was waiting for this game ever since it was announced. What I don't get is why THQ didn't release this game earlier. I don't see any improvements THQ made to it that the previous developer did, I don't remember who it was. The game is all hype and no action. The game seems like a low budget game. They should've release this earlier when this kind of technology may have made a greater impression. The sound is absolutely pathetic. The engine noises are generic. The music is decent, although more tracks should've been added. The voices in the game are very little and very annoying. The graphics are pretty bland. The cars look superficial somehow. They have a sort of odd look that makes them look unrealistic. The visual effects aren't amazing in this age of graphics technology. The little clips in the game are way too compressed and very unrealistic. The gameplay is satisfactory at best. There's a good amount of cars. But barely any choices in terms of mods for cars. Oddly enough, the game uses tracks instead of a virtual city like MC3 and NFSU2, which takes away the feeling of being a street racer. The betting system in the game is very redundant. You almost always lose a bet when you don't play in the race. And usually the computer players will always react a lot more aggressively when you placed a bet on a race you're in. I was rather disappointed in this release. The multiplayer is probably a better part of the game. You can race with people all over the world. You can even race for pink slips with other players. There's a simple ranking system in the game. But the problem here is, surprise surprise, not many people play the game, so you'll be waiting for the few servers to empty, or wait for others to join your server. There are a number of errors in the game, as if it were a beta release than the actual release. The developers obviously rushed the project, even though they released it a year after its due date. You'll also notice that the game is not very CPU intensive. That may be a bonus for some, but considering the bad use of sound and graphics technology it's not a surprise. My advice is keep away from this game.
First of all, you need some other controller than Keyboard for this one, I played it on Joystick and it was good, but the ability to control acceleration still made it a bit difficult. I believe Steering wheel with pedal... Read Full Review
