Well I just bought the game yesterday and it is sooooo extremely wicked!!!!! The graphics are at top notch, as well as the in game effects like the rain drops on the camera lens slidin off. The tracks are good as well, i especially liked the one where u jump off a big mountain into the water (u feel as if your flying). The best about the game is the sense of speed, even if your in novice mode you still feel like your going 300 mph. I just can't wait to unlock the ultimate level "Redshift"!!!!!!!!!!!!!. This game has got not too good reviews on some top xbox sites, i really thing the reviewers should play the game more and give it another rating, in my perspective i give the game a 9/10 only that it lacks the xboxl live capability. This game is a definite buy!!!!!!!!!!!!
