This game lived up to it's predeccessor in almost all ways. It even surpassed it in most of those as well. I still just couldn't give this the five star review, though. But nonethless, it was a good game. The graphics wer realistic. The race course was more real than I've seen before. The shading and all, also complete with stop signs, and the abitity to drive pretty much anywhere. There are plenty of courses, but I found the bosses to be most memorable. All of the boss tracks were challenging, and some of them took me a good long while to beat.
