This game is the best racing game so far on the PS3, not because of the physics of the game (the GT series are top for that) but because it’s really fun to play.

The graphics are fantastic, damage is semi-realistic and the number of different racing styles that you can play is huge.

The crashes are pretty good too, not just when you crash but when another AI car makes a mistake and causes a five car pile up which you juuuusst manage to avoid adding to.

In career mode you win money to buy cars and points to unlock new levels to race. You can eventually hire a team mate to race alongside you and get a team win for the race as well as individually.

AI is a strong point for this game, you start to smile as the car that was just in front of you for the last two laps suddenly loses it and does a barrel roll out of a hairpin bend. It’s almost like the driver was getting nervous and made the mistake due to you slip streaming him for the last four minutes.

This really is an awesome game.

9/10
