This is by far in away the best racing game that i have played in a long time on any format. The graphics are spectacular, the secenery surrounding the tracks and the cars themselves are brilliant. There is a large selection of cars of many different types and quite a lot of tracks. I particularly like the ability to create your own team as part of the career mode, this lets you paint the car pretty much any colour you like and as you win more races pick sponsers to provide money. However this game is quite arcadeish with how it goes about things. There is no qualifying to decide the grid, you seem to start where ever it feels like putting you and there are no set up options for you to fiddle with and ruin the performance of your car. Having said this these negatives don't really take away from the experience of the game, i just felt that they needed to be highlighted.
