If you haven't played previous RR games (like I have), this game brings something fresh and great to the table.

It takes a while to get accustomed to the drift style of racing but I made sure I could get the hang of it by first playing the demo found on PSN. The first 90% of the game is surprisingly easy but the last few races are ridiculously hard (unless I'm missing something). The plug-in units (unlockable cheats) add to the games re-playability to go back and rack up wins with other cars and equipment you didn't use your first time through. The music incorporated into RR7 fits the game style but gets old after a while. If the single player run-through had been a little longer and gradually more challenging I'd have been much more satisfied than the spike in difficulty the handful of remaining races pose. All in all, a great game. If you can place first in the demo on PSN and like the gameplay, I would definitely recommend this game.
