Multiplayer
Players who bring up Multiplayer mostly praise it.
I haven't even tried multiplayer yet, but this game has a reputation for having some of the best online multiplayer.
48 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
The track environments are really well designed too, with a high sense of realism and some beautiful lighting effects and the only thing I can say was missing is different types of weather, which certainly would have taken all the mayhem to another level, especially imagining aquaplaning your way across a wet track or skidding over ice and snow.

Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
The custom game mode truly offers an infinite amount of replayability, because there's just so many ways to mix and match vehicles, maps, and rule sets to create new interesting scenarios.
32 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Servers and matchmaking
Players who bring up Servers and matchmaking mostly praise it.
There's a server browser, which sounds great at first, but it too sucks when you actually look at it.
17 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
One more thing to mention here is the brilliant soundtrack, containing a collection of alternative rock songs that help to emphasise the complete bedlam and atmosphere of the game.

Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
The campaign is long (30+ hours) and an absolute joy so far.
