DO NOT BUY!!! THIS GAME IS GUARANTEED TO MAKE YOU BREAK YOUR CONTROLLER IN FRUSTRATION!!!!!
this game is hard. you will find yourself holding back to not break you 49.99 controller! The easy races are hard, the normal races are even harder, and the hard races are DAMN near impossible. i mean its hard enough racing around LA with all the traffic. the cars that like to change into your lane during a race. the fact that you have to watch your car in slow motion during an accident (which by the way was a horrible attempt by midnight club to bring in the same affect of the slow motion accidents from burnout paradise city), or God forbid that you get in an accident while riding a bike... because than you have to watch for about 5 to 10 seconds of the body flailing around while the other racers keep going.
you basically have one shot, during a race, to win. if you get in an accident you might as well start the race over. street bikes will get beat by corvettes off the line no matter what you have done to your bike. when you are in first place you will notice that the streets becomed filled with more traffic. the cars your racing against will blow right through other cars with no problem, but if you as so much knick anothr car. you will be sent inot slow motion and than another 5 seconds of watchng your car spin in circles.
the weapon features fail horribly. the ZAP that i supposed to mess up the other cars electrical system... but all it does is slow them down a little bit... for maybe couple seconds.... which sucks because its takes well over 30 seconds of CLEAN driving to fill these weapons up!
not only is it hard to win races... but the races are tooooooooooooooo long! we're talking about 5 minute check point races! you literally will sit there wondering "when is this DAMN race going to end?!!!!!!" which is why your never safe in first place! you can be in first 99% of the time only to lose in the 4 minute and 59th second!
ALL IN ALL..... do not buy this game. rent it first and you will see what i'm talking about. it will take more of your strength not to break your controller. i rented this game and returned it earlier than i had to. hope this helped alot of people save their 59.99!!!!!
