This game is great. Lets get the obvious points out of the way though. This game is GORGEOUS and even runs well on my crappy laptop, which is always a plus. And the gameplay is brilliant. I highly suggest a gamepad, just like for any racing game. Analog controls are great for racing games, but this one has fairly decent keyboard controls as well. The saving grace for this game which pushes it over the top of other racing games of this quality is the flashbacks. Though not as good in multiplayer, the flashbacks are absolutely brilliant in Singleplayer, allowing you to learn from your mistakes as you go along with the race. Also means that you won't have to go to the menu every time you have a big crash. Overall, this is a very well-polished racing game with some great features that makes it better than others.
8.5/10 for Singleplayer
7.5/10 for Multiplayer
