I had missed out on this game for the XBOX but I managed to grab it up for the 360. I must say I am not mad for doing so; I was a fan of this franchise from the first game and spent a lot of time playing it online and offline. The 360 version looks pretty and is fast, the cameras blur effect and damage on the cars is sweet.

So I have finished about 65% of the game and have only achieved about 150 gamerpoints! In order to score some gamerpoints in this game you have to perfect every single race, in some cases this is not a problem but in others I believe it is not even possible unless you crack the fabric of space and time! The game is challenging to perfect and adds replay value but may cost you when you lose your mind and break a controller!

At base it is a great racing game with cool options for crash modes and road rage. One piece of advice though, the in-game music kind of stinks, make sure to upload your own tracks. You know a game is good when you are driving in real life and thinking� if I crash into this car and then use my crashbreaker, I wonder how many points I would get!?

Overall Rating: 9 out of 10
