    The graphics are great with plenty of detail, you are never fighting the controls, the speed effects and weapons are great and the storm drain levels rock. There are parts of this game that almost make you feel like you're in the middle of some Jerry Bruckheimer movie.

    The game offers entertaining car combat with enough car, weapon, and track variations to keep players from getting bored.

    It's got bite, attitude, and is pretty fun. It feels a little repetitive with the track designs, but that gets made up with solid multiplayer and online gaming that always makes things better. Not too bad a game.

    Firstly I have to say, I'm not sure if this game is meant to be serious or satire. everything feels a bit cliche & stereotypical of americanFirstly I have to say, I'm not sure if this game is meant to be serious or satire. everything feels a bit cliche & stereotypical of american gangsta culture and borders on silly at times. From the silly 'Gangsta' car names, to the ridiculous Tutorial. However the game has a charm to it that makes you want to love it.

    The game is an OK attempt at a 'Burnout' clone with the added element of gun battles. This brings an interesting dynamic to the game and adds that extra challenge to the game to keep it exciting. The Similarities to 'Burnout' are plentiful with the biggest being the 'Takedown' Camera cuts that play when you take a rival out.

    One thing I'm pleased about is the rubber banding in this game, It's there but it's not as unforgiving as it is in EA's racing series' and makes for a less stressful experience

    I think the games biggest issue has to be the longevity, I found it gets too samey too quickly and even the different game modes don't help because we've seen them all before in other similar games.

    Apart from the shooting element, this game really doesn't offer up much that hasn't been done better before. The co-op is a nice touch though, takes me back to my 'Mario Kart: Double Dash' days    … Full Review »

    "There goes the neighborhood!" Tasteless, it's good to know stereotypes are alive and well in the gaming arena which resembles Hollywood "There goes the neighborhood!" Tasteless, it's good to know stereotypes are alive and well in the gaming arena which resembles Hollywood in the 1950's when it comes to GOOD, SOLID, ethnic characters!
