I’ve never enjoyed a car racing game this much since Need For Speed: Most Wanted.

The whole environment looks fantastic and the motion sensitive driving works a treat. The cars themselves look great and although you can’t customize them as much as you can in the NFS series, there are enough cars and paint options to keep me at least satisfied.

The physics of the car damage and crashes are fantastic and in the slow-mo crash playback you can hit the R1 and L1 buttons to do a mini game where you try to bounce off as many other cars and buses as possible.

There are a lot of different types of races in the game: straight forward races, survival races, beat the stunt score and ‘takedown’ other car races.

Once you’ve got a car that you’re satisfied with you can hit the right D-Pad button and go online in a freeburn mode where you can play ranked races, do group stunts and more. In freeburn if you takedown another player you get a mugshot of them sent to you if they have the PS3 eye attached.

All in all this is a fantastic game!

9/10
