Pros: Great selection of motorsports (35 to be precise)
Lots to unlock eg. cars and tracks
Realistic AI all fighting dirty for 1st
Realworld Tracks
Great graphics on cars
Nice Sound
Great Cutscenes
Great selection of championships
Fantastic damage engine

Cons:Poor Graphics on faraway textures
No Soundtrack
AI can be annoying as they tend to force you out of their way
The flag system penalises you even when you've done nothing wrong
70mph doesn't feel like 70mph, more like 30mph
The rally championships are hard as nails

Graphics: 08/10 Great, apart from some little bits.
Sound:08/10 Big beefy engines and crashes, no soundtrack.
Gameplay:9/10 Little physics involved so it's great to pick up and play
Lifespan:9/10 With two career modes and online, months, maybe years

Overall:9/10 This smart racer is worth the wait. If you enjoy motorsports then this is one for game collection
