This game is great. The budget title doesn't affect this game at all. Genki did a terrific job procuring the cars, their specifications and those oh-so-hard-to-find chassis specifications. The customization level was good, but there were not many choices for upgrading the power of your vehicle. The only gripe I had was that the game is very repetitive. Find a rival, beat him, find another rival, beat him, etc. There are a total of 600 rivals, and this makes it even more boring. After you've passed the first couple of rivals, the game gets interesting, offering you better cars and more customization options. Although the performance of the cars was unreal (A Suzuki Cappuccino in real life will NOT, I repeat NOT do the 1/4 mile in 11 seconds, even with a full turbo equipped and full body lightening) To sum up, this game is great for all the car enthusiasts out there, be you a budding youngster, or a full fledged veteran, this game is awesome.
