Even tracks I won handily on early in the game became very difficult to win. I rented this game, and while there is great action and crashes, I found it quite difficult to win. I don't think the minimum skill level is suitable for younger kids (less than 13), so I didn't end up buying it. One thing that is very cool is there are no skill settings, the game does it all for you. Understand that I didn't use it alot, so I didn't know the tracks well, which will allow easier competition. As you get better, the competition gets better, so even though I was winning, I could not dominate. Fun but pretty difficult for me.
Way better than the xbox console I used to have. I've been playing it for a few hours and I'm hooked.It is a non-realistic physics racing game, but that's the fun part. I like the realistic crashes, in slo-mo. They're really fun.The landscape is amazing, even though I'm using and old RCA tube in 480p setting. You get this "boosts" that last for a few seconds and propel you at 200mph. Still the game looks great. Awesome crap.
I don't care for all of the slow motion drama either. This game is too bouncy for me, and I just did not find it that fun. I will admit I am not a fan of racing type games, mainly due to getting motion sickness. I don't like trying to race in the dirt and mud. The game also takes too long to load.
Do you have to come in first on all races etc. Game is fun in the beginning when it is beatable but later the opponents will not try to win in favor of stopping you from winning. Loading and selecting the vehicles was slow. Also the menu selection process is slow and non intuitive. They will slow when you are stuck behind them. I could not figure what I was suppose to do. I could not finish as it got too difficult and frustrating and repetitive.
The graphics are great and game play is fun.Tried to use the sixaxis with no real success. The mud splatter can get rather annoying at times, but I guess that is what it is meant to do.I have not played it an extreme amount yet. I usually play laying in bed, so it is hard to keep the controller flat. Was able to use it as long as I made sure I kept the controller level front to back. If it is not level you will start to nose dive or back flip when in the air. So I cannot complain about redundancy.
