The Good
Getting a full refund from the shop a couple of days later was possibly the highlight.

The Bad
Normally I read reviews before buying a game, this time I didn't. I'm not normally suckered into buying games after seeing all the hype- and expensive tv ads.

I wont be making the same mistake again EVER!

This game is atrocious, everything about it is bad, it is the abomination of the driver series - and should of been destroyed during pre-production. The controls are incredibly over sensitive, the slightest steering adjustment and your car will veer wildly across the road - its like ice racing with inflatable tires.Horrific. Getting out of your car and it turns into an even bigger nightmare - forget about trying to aim your weapon. No GTA style lock on's here, you are constantly fighting the crosshairs to get anywhere near your desired target. It doesn't really matter though, the AI is so bad the enemies just stand there shooting at you, (rather badly) so you have plenty of time to line up a shot.

I am still in shock 6 months later that a game could be released in such a unfinished state, and from people with decent track records. Even the pre-rendered intro is dull and full of cliches. The free form driving sections are boring and laughable attempts at non linear gameplay, seemingly thrown in last minute to please GTA fans.

I'm surprised at the current high score on Moby (2.6) it doesn't even deserve 0.6

The Bottom Line
GTA's inbred, half wit wannabe cousin
