It's the best racing sim on Xbox 360, but is that really saying much?
7.0 Presentation
The single-player mode could use some polish as could the interface and just about every area outside of the racing elements.
7.0 Graphics
Jaggies, jaggies, and more jaggies. At times, it appears this is LEGO Forza Motorsport 2. The drab colors and weak art design don't help. 60fps is welcome, though.
8.0 Sound
There are some great variants in engine sounds, but it's nothing beyond what we've come to expect from racers. Some of the ambient noise is a little buggy.
9.0 Gameplay
The car physics are just about perfect. The gameplay, however, feels a bit soulless and at times gets a little redundant.
9.5 Lasting Appeal
There's a lot to do here, with an enormous single-player game and some decent multiplayer options. If you love, you'll love it for a long, long time.
8.9
Great OVERALL
