    If you were trying to decide on a racer before "GT4," I would say that this is the title for you if you are looking for a solid single-player game. If you're in the market for a good multiplayer racer, I would suggest "Need For Speed Underground."

    The intimacy, the almost Zen-like relationship with the track is not here. Even so, I would be a fool to call this game anything other than great. [Jan 2004, p.60]

    In the end though you have to consider that when it's good its very very good and when its bad... its just a bit rough, never terrible.

    A solid, but very vanilla racer.

    If you're looking for the ultimate racing experience, you'll need to look elsewhere.

    There's abundant animated cleavage for the truly desperate. However, the heart of the game - the actual driving - is outclassed in every aspect. Don't bother. [PSM2]
