First try on PS2... so far so good.
The sound aspect can be divided in two...the soundtrack and the gameplay aspect. The soundtrack is filled fun racing tracks which have songs with tight emotion for a fast pase race feeling or smooth laid back tracks for those long open road stages to get a calmer feeling. Put in other words... the song collection goesaccording to the feeling that the diferent stage produce. Also the gameplay sound is great, very realistc motor, tires and enviorement sound efects (like when entering the tunnels or drifting a tight corner, etc). Altough the song selection can get repetitive after a while but the is a minor detail.
All and all driving fans will love the game and becuase of the superb quaility of the game, it can be enjoyed by anyone... even if your only their to watch more of it then playing it. Also a great additon in the whole bundle of games you get when buying a PS2 for the first time.
