A decent game, rent - do not buy.

The game itself is rather fun, because they addressed a over-looked part of off-road racing for awhile now, and sega realized this. You can feel the cars slip into the ruts, and you know when your not in a good zone... but other then that this game is very simple, very straight forward. Deforming earth shouldn't earn a game a decent rating in my opinion. The cars handle unrealistic (and in the next-gen console world, unrealistic isn't fun to a lot of people.) and when I say unrealistic I mean worse then PG4. The game will becoming boring VERY quick as you get the hang of just swinging the car around corners, trying to avoid water which slows you down, yadda yadda. But either way the cars sound decent, but don't seem to perform like real cars in the same sense - everything from shifting, to breaking, just seems wrong. It seems the focus of the game was mainly on making the earth deface a lot... which like I said don't get me wrong, is very lovely and real in its own sense, but at the same time I crave a bit more context in a game, not just mindless turning, and track after track. Needs more tracks, needs more cars, needs better A.I., needs a better damage system, needs a better collision system (the A.I. will not yeild ANY ground to you at all and you cannot push them what so ever... boring. they becoming bricks that only block your path... rather then rivals or competition...)
RENT this game, DO NOT buy this game. If you really need a off-road rally style game, look into DiRT, it might not have defacing soil, but it has alot more to offer.
