Fixed. This is the only time I've taken your advice!

This review nicely addresses the points I most cared about as a potential consumer and, from the sound of things, nicely sums up the experience. The bits about struggling to stay on the road or even finish races told me all that I need to know. I'm a fan of arcade-style racing myself. Simulation titles seem to make it harder to drive in a straight line than it is to navigate a series of cones at high speeds in the rain-soaked streets of real life. I just don't get it. Really I don't. But whatever. Great review and the game sounds interesting, but I have enough info now to know that it's best if I give it a pass (I'm not big on modifying gearboxes, either).

Perhaps my advice would be more free-flowing if you were not so quick to readily admit how little notice you take of my wisdom-filled words of guidance.

Believe me, I'm good with not getting much in the way of unsolicited 'assistance' in the first place.

I had to pick a third game for a buy 2, get 1 free sale this weekend and almost picked this up. I'm a big fan of arcade racing games and thought this one might be right up my alley, but it was sitting awfully close to MotorStorm and I decided to wait, since they looked pretty similar. This review told me everything I needed to know - avoid this one. Definitely not what I'm looking for, though I have to say, the multiplayer does sound a bit intriguing. Excellent review; you really know how to find a hook, even on chore games like this.
