Good solid racer with plenty of options
Why is it so good then? Well one of the very nice features is how much you can adjust the difficulty level to suit your ability - thus making it playable by all.
Next is the tutorial by the guy on the cover (sorry..Jeff Gordon or something) and the fact that he talks you through the different stages of career progression. Nicely done EA!!
The career mode is lengthy with many customisation options and for those wishing a shorter burst the challanges make a nice change. Not often something like that is seen in a console driving game (more common on the handhelds), so a big thumbs up to EA.
Graphics are good without being amazing and the sound is probably in the same category.
All in all well worth a look and I look forward to many more hours playing it!
