Graphics- The BEST grahpics
for a racer I've ever seen. The
game is blazing fast. High res.,
60 FPS (frames per second), it is
unbelievable! The cars look
excellent. Superb lighting
effects. The way the street
lights hit the car is awesome.
The environment (not plural) is
detailed and very realistic. The
graphics are top-notch,
first-class, they kick!
Gameplay- Also very good.
The cars handle nicely. They
chose to go the arcade route,
rather than real-life physics.
You can also adjust your cars to
fit your style. You want to make
em drift, go a head, you want em
to grip, you can do that to, as
well as everything in between.
The cars handle good, period.
A.I.- The Artificial
Intelignce in this game is
excellent. In the begging, the
cars are slow, and esay, but the
things they do seem realistic,
when you pass them, the ram into
the rear of your car in a last
effort to spin you out. Then, as
the game progresses, they get
really smart, using other
non-rival cars to try and cut yu
off, ramming into you when ever
they see you, stuff like that.
Near the end, they rivals get
really hard, they out manuever
you in every way imaginable. Its
really something to see. The A.I.
is some of the best I've ever
seen, period.
Ingenuity- The game is truly
one-of-a-kind. Yes it is similar
in some ways to other racers, but
it is also very unique. This
isn't a typical racing game where
you racer around a track, no,
this is street racing. You have
to challange rival racers to a
short little street race. You
flash your brights, and the racer
is on. This is where the game
gets even more unique. You each
have a health bar, whe you are in
the lead, your rival's health bar
starts to decreas. When you are
really far a head of him, it
decreases faster and vise versa.
Also, the way you can upgrade you
car is pretty cool too. You don't
have o buy individual parts like
in most racers, but you buy
upgrades. Like an Engine Upgrade,
or suspension upgrade. It is done
in such a manner that anyone can
understand what is going on.
Thats not all you can upgrade
however, ANYTHING can be
upgraded. Yes, even rear
spoilers, headlights, side
panels, side mirrors, ANYTHING.
Adjusting your car is just as
easy as uprading too amking this
game a fan for gamers who don't
no much about cars (me).
Fun- This game is just
pure racing fun. It is so simple,
it is hard not to enjoy it. The
A.I. is sweet, upgrading is a
snap, graphx are kicking, there
really isn't anyhting to complain
about, except for it only has 2
tracks. But in the end, this game
is extremely fun.
