This game is everything a good racing game should be, and ties in very nicely with the overall feel of the recent movie
One problem with it is, although the controls are very good and responsive, it can take some getting used to. But once you master all the commands you need, there will be no stopping you. I must warn you though, it can get very difficult later in the game. If you lose your focus even for a second, you could easily go from first place to last place without even knowing how it happened. But this is not really a problem, the challenge is always nice, and with it's long laps (well on most courses) you will have plenty of room to catch up.
If you thought the movie was good, or just liked the racing scenes in it, you will probably enjoy playing this game.
