    At first i was very impressed from the graphics, which are very impressive for a launch title. When start playing i had to get used to the controls first. But after many hours of playing the controls felt still awkward. Taking turns is a pain, it feels like you control a boat or so. Especially when you drive a night and cant see the turns well its very frustrating.

    The game is fun for a limited amount of time, but due to its lack of depth and lackluster at best multi-player mode, you will probably not find yourself playing this game whole a helluva lot once that initial excitement wears off.

    Overall, the game feels a little rushed with its easy-way-out track design.

    I would have liked to have seem damaged panels and broken glass everywhere after you rammed your opponent; no such luck, however.
