An exciting arcade game that will keep you busy for a while...
You start off with a really crappy car in Los Angeles and slowly beat your rivals to earn their cars. The races are pretty challenging because it is almost impossible to gain a significant advantage over your opponents because of the rubber band AI. Also during a race you will have to pot a route to each checkpoint which can be annoying at times, but it is still fun.
Over time you will unlock the other two cities, Tokyo and Paris. Tokyo has many straight roads perfect for high speeds. Paris has narrow winding streets and huge jumps that are very tricky to navigate with heavy traffic. The cars are extremely similar to real cars. The motorcycles are a lot of fun too but can be very dangerous with heavy traffic.
The graphics are pretty good, the frame rate holds up amazingly, but you probably want to turn the music off. I definitley recomend this game to anyone who owns an xbox.
