Summary

The worst game in the series, by far.

The Good

There was almost NOTHING good about this game. Forget it.

The Bad

The graphics looked like super-shiny, unrealistic, crap. I can't even continue on the graphics. And who really wants to tune the car your Grandma drives? So, you buy a terrible Dodge Neon, put some stickers on it, and add some NOS that doesn't work. Yey! We get to put that ugly car in a race that makes one want to commit suicide. These races get extremely repetitive, and, thanks to the fact that there are only about 10 tracks that are early identical, it gets boring after, what, the twentieth race. And, on top of all that, the physics model feels so unrealistic that all the cars feel the same, and, because of the poor sense of speed, they all feel like they are going 30 mph, even when it says you're going 150. The customization is a waste of time, and the game requires you to do it. The storyline is bogus. Just a bunch of jackasses talking smack in an alley.

The Bottom Line

Overall, this game would be a waste of your time, ad if you bought it, I feel sorry for you.
