The game starts out very good and simple but once you get the grip battles this game is useless. Grip battles are IMPOSSIBLE to beat. You can buy the best grip battle car and tune it up fully and still lose. In grip battles you drive around courses with tons of turns in pitch black. Not fun at all. Crashing into every wall all the time. Slowing down on turns is useless because the AI can just pass you. The AI is far too good. The game is always on a highway and is always at night. The city looks the same everywhere. Namco bandai just copy and pasted everything. Namco really did a bad job on this game. So if you decide you want to buy some old racing game for fun or something stay away from this game. This game is terrible. No exotic cars either. The stats for cars arenb't simple at all. It doesn't even display the top speed for cars. Stay away from this game.
