    Overall, this is a decent, efficient addition to the genre, with a few good additions here and there for hardcore fans while the game's accessibility makes it a fine starting point for newcomers.

    The franchise may not be as wacky as before, nor as realistic as the competition, but it hits hard, doesn't let up, and is great entertainment for a group of friends looking for something less simmy and more instantly accessible.

The arcade gameplay blended with simulation simply isn't what I wanted. Hitz 03 is a better game, and somehow has better graphics. How did that happen? Hitz Pro is fun, but the direction they're taking just isn't well thought out I don't think. Full Review »
