I have to say that I was wondering if I was going to regret my purchase of RR7, fortunately this wasn't the case. The obvious point of the game is to win races and build up your fame and money to tune your "machine" as you choose. The customization factor is new to RR and is well received. You can tune your exterior of the machine as well as decals, more importantly you can upgrade your engine and nitrous to boast machine performance. Many racing games in comparison have these features already but are usually missing the fun factor and let me tell you this game is A LOT of fun. The control is as tight as always, however; people new to the RR series may have some difficulty learning the essential drift technique required to progress in the more difficult stages of the game. Once this skill becomes second nature the game becomes addictive to play. The online aspect of the game is awesome. I've experienced NO lag when playing at all and it's easy to join a race.
Graphics. Great! The races vary from night, forest, city races and races the some ruins. I was expecting a bit more detail but all in all very nice to look at (if you even have since you move so fast.) Car models look very nice. The models vary from futuristic looking to more contemporary models.
Sound: The ambient sounds in this game are great, especially if you have a 5.1 sound system, if your speakers are place correctly (in the options of the game you can precisely configure the speakers the proper angle there facing). Everything is clear and the engine sounds aren't over bearing. The music is a bit boring and easily forgettable which keeps me from giving the sound a perfect 10.
Overall. you'll be playing this game for a long time with amount of things to acquire. The online multiplayer aspect is definitely a winner and most importantly this is a FUN game if you're a racing fan.
