I haven't had this much fun with a racing game in a very long time. The graphics can be really quite good, I'm running two Nvidia 7800GTs in SLI, smooth motion, lots of detail and tons of flying car shrapnel. The sound track is good, very appropriate for the on screen action. What I really like the most is the excellent feeling of connection with the car, most driving games be they simulator or all out arcade have a sense of disconnect with the car. I can cut apexes super tight with perfect timing and adjust through the corner. Don't get me wrong, it's no sim but a very good combination between arcade and sim. Double thumbs up. One last thing, I'm using an Xbox 360 wireless controller and the game has a build in sensitivity and deadzone adjustment, tweaking the controls to my preferences was easy and rewarding.
