Anyone considering buying this game because they thought it supported HDTV as has been written about it ... may want to reconsider before they purchase. This game only supports 480p like ALL other XBOX games.

A good racing game for all

This game is a must have. The graphics are good and you can customize your own car and it is a blast. alos the street racing is cool becaus it is like the movie " THE FAST AND THE FURIOUS " which is a good movie too. Also the soundtrack is good becase it is just like in the movie. So get this game i rented it but i like itso trust if you rent i you wil like it

I bought this game because I like muscle cars a lot. The game has some strong points like drag racing is cool exept that it gets boaring after a wile. Underground racing is not bad. The graphics are not the best, XBox could have dont better. The one big problem with this game is that it gets boaring after you play it for a wile.

This sucks

This game [isn't good],don't waste your money on this.I found it to have bad graphics and it just wasn't fun.I rented it and I became so bored with it that i took it back 3 days early.If you're interested in a good racing game,get either Sega GT 2002 or Project Gotham Racing.

Awesome Two Player Game!

This game is a ton of fun with two players! Even though the initial car selection and track selection is very limited, it is still fun to fly through the cities, racing your friends and the cops. I just wish it had more options for courses to start out with.

Great Game!

This a great game because of the graphics and the new Underground mode. The problem with the game is that after playing a couple races in a city it gets very boring. The reason for this is the tracks are all very similar except for the direction you are driving the track in.

Best racing game next to need for speed 2

I think this game is really fun, and addictive. The cars are great along with awsome graphics. To the kid who said everything from fast to a subaru, maybe you should go look at the Subaru Impreza WRX. I promise you the WRX will outdrive any car you'll ever see.

Not realistic

The worst thing I hated about this game is that it didn't matter how well you did, you could never gain a lead on the others. You could pass a car that was facing the other direction and in two seconds that car would be passing you. So basically it doesn't matter how good you are, it matters how lucky you are. Get rid of the computer assistance.

horrible

This game is the horrible. The graphics are bland and boring.
1) Something feels wrong about the steering / turning physics, trying to power slide will kill all of your forward momentum.
2) The thing that ticks me off the most about this game is the AI of other drivers. They follow a line, which you cannot push them off. You can try to nudge them, but its like trying to push a house! If you are driving next to them, and their line crosses your path, they will ram right into you sending you flying into a wall.
3) The other thing that ticks me off to NO END is the cops. Cops in this game try to catch you, but the key word here is "YOU". Watch the other cars fly by the cop at 100mph, yet the cop ignores them until YOU pass him. The cop will continue to chase you forever. You can drive until the cop is off your radar, but rest assured he still knows where you are and is coming for you. One time I saw a computer car crash into a parked cop car, sent it flying 100 feet, but the cop car did nothing until I passed it.
4) I can't stand the music (which comes from real artist), its mostly rap. If that's your thing, fine, but it isn't mine.
5) Booting is a hassle, turn it on, walk the dog, take a nap, come back and maybe all of the ads for technology and publishers are over.
6) The opening FMV sequence is horribly compressed, looks like utter [junk].

Things I DO like:
1) The attempt at a story line.
2) PONG. You get to play PONG while it loads the levels.
3) Wide screen support (which is why I originally bought this game)
4) Loading and saving games seem very quick. Apposed to other xbox titles.
