    The improved graphics, intense action and the Guy Richie-style crime story is what makes this game worth getting your hands behind its wheels.

    Despite some rough edges, it makes for a fun ride that justifies the budget price.

    Little more than a rudimentary console port replete with dated graphics and sub-par vehicle physics. [Nov 2002, p.134]

    The mission objectives are challenging but not frustrating enough to make you want to give up on the game. However, what's really lacking here is the AI and the lackluster visuals.

    The light charms of the game makes it nearly irresistible, but if you want on this Job, stick with the smaller horsepower (PSX) ride.
  7. GameSpy

    The biggest issue I had is that basically all of the AI drivers show a complete lack of road smarts.

The graphics are aweful, there numerous bugss & glitches and the whole game comes across very cheaply made. However, the story and gameplay are on the right lines. It's just badly programmed.… Full Review »

    Good game, easy play. Easy to beat, and the other challenges not all that great, though. Even free drive mode can't really save this game.
