THE GOOD:Unique gameplay format. Lots of customization options. Good variety of races & racetracks.
THE BAD:
Slightly subpar graphics, plus occasional flickering. Sounds & music are hit-and-miss. Touchy controls. No Xbox Live support.
SUMMARY:
A new variation on the popular Need For Speed series, this title shifts the game's focus to the popular world of underground street racing. You're a newbie on the block who's trying to make a name for yourself by winning races to improve your car and customize it to look as good as it runs. Eventually you'll take a stock street car and turn it into a 5-star pimpin' ride as you bilod up your reputation and move up the rankings.
While the realistic graphics are very good, some issues are noticeable right away. The cars & backgrounds have very good detail but sometimes, like when you drive through water puddles, there's just a little bit of flickering like it skips a frame...
