This game is not all that good. I rented it. The commercial made it look good but it's impossible to beat even if you use the code to unlock all of the tracks and most of the cars!!! DO NOT BUY THIS GAME!!!
Not Worth It

This game has good graphics but is very repetitive. All the cars are basically the same speed and it took me only 2 weeks to beat. It is very frustrating when you are winning and then smash into a car and then lose. The other cars catch up very quickly when you crash and winning the money doesn't do anything to help.

i cant believe people like this game!!
there are so many aspects that make me want to throw bricks at the ps2.
the game is so frustrating!! it is nearly impossible to win-the time limits are completley unreasonable, so you never have a chance. also, even if you place 1st in one race, the next one you ALWAYS start in 6th-so within seconds, you have lost the race.
another thing is that annoying is how cars always pull out in front of you causing a huge pile up, putting you in last if you werent already, and this never happens to the competition, they ALWAYS just sail right past you.
the beginning of the"underground"section of this [game] has you completing a huge track with very limited time-this took me 2 days to beat to get to move on. after this you do a few races, and then they make you do this one again-its 85% the same thing as the one at the beginning-only its foggy instead of dark-isnt that cool??NO!!
and what is with those jumps thrown in??in the levels it always dark so you cant even tell when youre about to go off one-and you know what the bonus is?2 whole seconds!how generous of them.
i was going to rent the game stuntman instead of this thing-i reccomend you try that instead.
try also smugglers run-its awesome!
if this convinced at least 1 person not to play this i will feel very happy.
thanks
happy gaming!
RUBBER BURING ACTION!!!

I got this game for my b-day and the first day I played it and loved it! It has very good game play and graphics...This game is very good. if any one loved the movie the fast and the furious or gone in 60 seconds, you will love this game. It is a compeling street-drag racing game. you will love the choice of cars for jaguar to dodge charger, to viper to suburau all the way up to corvette, camaero, and muscle cars! it is awsome and realistic!! purchase it now!
Gameplay impossible and annoying

I think this game could have been fun, but they ruined it.
1) The time limits are highly annoying. When you are in second place but the race ends halfway because of a time limit, it's really frustrating. Its suppose to be a race against the opponents but the clock keeps killing the action.
2) The cops seem to only try to get you, and if there are several of them, one will hit you and spin you around and then the others tag you, and you end up getting stopped because your "busted". This is particularly annoying in large pileups as all the other drivers take off and your stuck getting hit by the cops.
3) Accellerating after stopping. After being stopped (wall, car collision, etc) sometimes no matter how softly you hit the gas you peel out. Combine that with #2 and it really [stinks].
It's also got it's share of bugs. I liked the first few levels I played until I started the underground missions (Which is most of the game). It was all downhill from there.
good cars but to fake

This game has some very cool cars, but is horrible when it comes to realism. I personaly dont think it is much fun when you can run over light poles and they fall over like twigs. And another thing is that when you r just about to win a race it always seems like the time runs out. That really makes me mad. I rented it but i would never buy this game. And 1 more thing is that it seems impossible to run over anybody.
To me this game really stinks.
very annoying very not good

this game reeks, just when you thought a racing game couldnt get any more annoying this game surprises you. The loading times are so long theres a game to play while u wait. Even if u botch a race and its already loaded in the memory it still needs to reload. Dont worry youll botch races. 99% of the time it wont be your fault though. The other cars are annoying and unfair, the tracks @ night are impossible to navigate, and the controls arent the greatest. Do yourself a favor and dont buy this game

It is really fun to play but It is pretty hard to beat. That makes it more realistic and that is one of the things that I like about it another thing is the selection of cars, I dont know if there are more cars than what you start out with, but the cars where pretty cool. It reminds me of the fast and furiou. The one thing that I dont really like about it is the music I don't really like rap music. Overall this would be a good game to rent or buy it is really fun and is pretty hard to beat.
Stupid game.

This game is nothing more than an interactive commercial promoting various rap artists and a grade B weak plot movie. In no way did the makers of this game intend on making it worth while. Races are ... Everytime you crash your opponents are never far in front of you, but when you get to the finish line, 1 or 2 of them always jumps ahead. And the pong thing while it's loading is the stupidest thing I've ever seen. I'm a persistant guy and played this game for an hour trying to beat one race. After that I stuck the cd in my microwave, fried it, and threw it out the window. Oh yeah, that nice Charger you see on the front cover of the box, unless you spend the next 4 months mastering this game, you'll never get it.
