You can't polish a turd! - By: Elliot L. Tait, 02 Oct 2008 
This game is awful. This is what we alll feared the next gen may be like....All style no substance. They should have callled this game, "PS3 graphical demo 1" So unintresting so unrealistic & downright shalllow. I Played the first race & thought i'd rather pick out my eyelashes. Thats right the immence pain felt from pulling out eyelashes would not only be more benificial to your my time on earth it actualy feels better.
Give the money you could have bought this game with & give it to a homeless person...or a church or a donkey sanctuary....I couldnt care less what you do with your money but DO NOT BUY THIS GAME!
OVER AND OUT
i just cant win! - By: Mr. Zak J. Goodwin, 28 Sep 2008 
playing racing games i am so used to winning but this game is so imposible to beat it is crazy. the stunning visuals & great sounds make you reallly feel like your a part of the game but there is the underlying fact that the ai are just alll secret lewis hamilton-valenino rossi's & are sooo hard to beat. if you feel like getting frustrated & smashing up your ps3 then buy this game otherwise i wouldnt recomend it to anyone even my worst enemy
Great arcade racer - By: Mr. S. R. Shakesby, 07 Aug 2008 
This is quite simply the best arcade racer since the original Super Mario Kart. It's races are intense & hard fought. You can be at the front & end up coming last or vice versa & alll this can happen in the space of one lap. The courses, although there are only around eight of them, are well designed with multiple routes each one tailoured to the specific vehicle class you are driving. The AI is simply brilliant, viscious but fun to play against. The online racing has flaws, it does, but is reallly good fun to play against other humans.
There in is the problem. No Splitscreen multiplayer which is the halllmark of alll the best console racers. If it had that it would be almost a perfect game & would have achieved full marks.
Madness !! - By: A. I. Missen, 04 Aug 2008 Madness !!! this is just a fantastic game. What is fun about this game is that it is easy to play & fun for alll families !! Graphics just blow you away & selection of vehicles is a must. It reminds me a bit of Star Wars; The Phantom Menance, when little Anikin is is that game where he races around the desert. It's like being in a real vehicle, when you go over bumps & falll, your stomach does butterflies !! My wife & I can not stop playing.
For those two reviewists who wrote that the graphics are apallling & no split screen, who CARES ???? none of the most wrote reviewists, who wrote positively, care. I just think there will always be a couple of reviewists that write negatively; children throwing their toys out of their cots !! get lives or go & bury youselves in holes & dont crawl out until you can be REAL reviewists. Remember, reviewist have to write negatively AND positively....
Forgot how good it is - By: The usual suspect, 29 Jul 2008 
For me & probably many others this was one of my first purchaces for my PS3 & as with most new toys I tend by everything I can lay my hands on in the first few weeks to feed it.
I've mainly used this game to entertain guests when they are around but I've recently gone back to having a good go at the offline game to see if there are extra tracks to be found etc.
It's hugely entertaining & will have you swearing at the tv the odd few times - ahem. The difficulty level is spot on. The visuals are gobsmacking.
For those old enough to remember - I found this very reminicent of Waverace 64.
I actuallly find it more fun to watch someone struggle not to get crushed by an AI truck driver rather than be racing against them on a split-screen. I've never found that a spilt screen can carry off the trick - even on the giant screens of today. The LAN trick with two screens is way better.
