Sometimes fun, sometimes frustrating, sometimes underwhelming. I guess the first question that comes to mind when I play this game is "haven't I seen this before???". Futuristic ships zipping along on futuristic tracks, getting power-ups, shooting laser blasts and missiles, etc. Jumps and loopty loops make it slightly more interesting, but this seems stale to me. The little cutscenes that are supposed to advance the 'adversarial' story lines are pathetic, one-line nonsense that could have been done without. At least the driver ai is somewhat realistic. If you do well, you can really get out ahead, if you're bad, you truly fall behind, unlike Test Drive (don't get me started). The ship upgrades add some extra playability, but the main problem with this game is, if you've played the space/race type game before on any platform, this is NOTHING new. Rent it before you buy it.

There haven't been too many good hover/combat racing games recently, but I picked this one up for $5 in a bargain bin and wasn't disappointed in the least. It was like finding gold. In the beginning, in the lower circuit races, the game is rather slow, but as you get up to the faster, white knuckle races, it's awesome. It runs perfectly on the X360, and offers 720p support which looks great on HDTVs.

As for story, it's kind of lacking, but this game is about racing. Think of like how games like Tekken or Dead or Alive or even Street Fighter have stories (that suck), but that doesn't hurt the game; if you can imagine that (or remember), but just don't care, then you have the right idea.

Anyhow, $5 new from 3rd party sellers, even $10 with shipping, but well worth it.
