  1. It performs well, but there are definitely more-interesting PlayStation 2 driving games on the market.
  2. It's like being given the keys to Disney World and finding out the majority of attractions are not operational; you're left in a magical place with little to do other than to go on the same few rides that happen to be working.
  3. The graphics and overall feel of the game do not seem quite right.

    One thing about the game will really piss you off, though, and that's the difficulty. In plain English, the A.I. is freaking brutal, and if you make one mistake in most courses, you may as well restart the race. [June 2003, p.52]

    Way on the arcade-y side of driving, but you can't tell me you see the cover and don't get "Silver Screen" stuck in your head to this day :P
