    The game has a variety of gorgeous real life cars, race-long bumper-to-bumper action, and emotionally charged AI drivers--too many positive attributes to be ignored.

    I think Razorworks should go back to the drawing board and address their problems in execution, because their concepts are intriguing and the presentation of the package is great.

    I was disappointed in the interaction between the Team Manager and your self, no video, just a static picture and a few lines of text ends up being your advice.

    Does manage to deliver a passable driving experience - but only if unrealistic driving physics, undamageable cars, and an absentee multiplayer game aren't deal-breakers for you. [May 2003, p.88]

But to be fair, it has nothing on Gran Turismo on Forza. And it will fall in a mediocre bellow average for me.

    However, if we take in account that its a 2002 game it will make you feel much more sympathetic towards the game.
