Story:
You play someone who has just had all their cars stolen and has to steal them back and get revenge on the people that stole them.

Gameplay:
You basically just drive cars. No running around, no guns, just drive cars. It is abit like Grand Theft Auto (GTA) except you're a free roaming car instead of a person. You can also get your car "pimped" at West Coast Customs. But you do not get to customize your car with your customizations. You can race against other racers for money or to unlock new cars.One of my favourite parts of the game is a separate mode called "Stuntmode". In stuntmode you have the choice of any car available in the game to pull stunts around ramps, loop the loops, and corkscrews, which is very fun. But does get boring after a few goes.

Graphics:
The graphics are about 4/10 and are not very detailed or polygonal.

Controls:
The controls are the same as most racing games, X to accelerate, O to brake/reverse and R to use boost/nitros.

Length:
I have not completed this game yet only because I have got bored of it andit is gathering dust on my top shelf.

Overall I give this game a 4/10 because it is fun for a while but becomes tedious after time. If you have the chance to get it for free then get it but if I were you I wouldn't pay money for this game.
