I like the graphics, they don't look like a photo but to me they add to the game.
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
69 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
There is a reasonable variety of unlocks, upgrades and tricks that should allow for some reasonable replayability which should double for every friend you can talk into buying it.
Co-op
Players who bring up Co-op mostly praise it.
28 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
While local split-screen multiplayer works smoothly and is a great addition for friendly competition, online activity is inconsistent, making it difficult to find active matches.
Controls
Players who bring up Controls mostly praise it.
24 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The game worked perfectly with my 360 controller, but didn't recognize a Logitech Attack joystick, so perhaps only the 360 pad is supported.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
17 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The soundtrack complements this presentation with energetic electronic beats that maintain intensity during races, while the sound effects—engine roars, water sprays, and boost surges—heighten immersion without becoming intrusive.
Performance
Players who bring up Performance mostly praise it.
7 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
I've never seen any lag or graphics glitches, aside from my driver's hand dissappearing inside a wall -- very minor!
