 rented, not bought November 27, 2008

I rented this game, and while there is great action and crashes, I found it quite difficult to win. Understand that I didn't use it alot, so I didn't know the tracks well, which will allow easier competition. One thing that is very cool is there are no skill settings, the game does it all for you. As you get better, the competition gets better, so even though I was winning, I could not dominate. Even tracks I won handily on early in the game became very difficult to win. I don't think the minimum skill level is suitable for younger kids (less than 13), so I didn't end up buying it. Fun but pretty difficult for me.

I've been playing it for a few hours and I'm hooked.
It is a non-realistic physics racing game, but that's the fun part. You get this "boosts" that last for a few seconds and propel you at 200mph. They're really fun.
The landscape is amazing, even though I'm using and old RCA tube in 480p setting. Still the game looks great. Way better than the xbox console I used to have.
I like the realistic crashes, in slo-mo. Awesome crap.

I will admit I am not a fan of racing type games, mainly due to getting motion sickness. This game is too bouncy for me, and I just did not find it that fun. I don't like trying to race in the dirt and mud. I don't care for all of the slow motion drama either. The game also takes too long to load!!
 Good controls but bad Ai November 9, 2008

Game is fun in the beginning when it is beatable but later the opponents will not try to win in favor of stopping you from winning. They will slow when you are stuck behind them. Also the menu selection process is slow and non intuitive. I could not figure what I was suppose to do. Do you have to come in first on all races etc? Loading and selecting the vehicles was slow. I could not finish as it got too difficult and frustrating and repetitive.
Fun so far October 14, 2008

The graphics are great and game play is fun.
Tried to use the sixaxis with no real success. Was able to use it as long as I made sure I kept the controller level front to back. If it is not level you will start to nose dive or back flip when in the air. I usually play laying in bed, so it is hard to keep the controller flat. The mud splatter can get rather annoying at times, but I guess that is what it is meant to do.
I have not played it an extreme amount yet. So I cannot complain about redundancy.
