Load time's make it difficult to enjoy it as much as you'd like to.
The graphics are really cute and smooth and colourful, i like that so its thumbs up for that. The sound is ok, nothing special but doesn't need to be changed or anything. Now iv heard people talking about how bad the AI is, now i cant comment on that as i havent done many single player races, i tend to go online more. The customization is top notch, there are many ways to style your character and change your car to how you want it, i spend most the time on this game creating cars. The more i play this game the more i like it and the more the load times don't bug me so much but overall this game needs its flaws sorted out. Also downloading other peoples cars is great, there are so many to choose from, you can also download peoples characters as well so now im playing as micheal jackson in a bat mobile which is so much fun. Any character you can think of you can download, people have put a lot of effort into their creations.
Overall i think this game has its place but i must admit at first i wasn't sure about it but it definitely grows on you.
