This game itself is fun as well as very relaxing... until it crashes. The graphics are great, but the online component is broken. Every time I start the game I have to sign out, restart the game, then sign back in to be able to play online. The game also crashes on me after about 30 minutes to an hour of play. I do try to play every now and then to see if Microsoft has fixed or improved the crashing but have not had much luck over the last year; if the crashes seem to have stopped on a future attempt to play for an hour or more I will update my review (and even switch it to a positive review because I do like most everything about the game other than the crashes). Overall this appears to be a broken game at this point and I'm not sure that the developers have any intentions of fixing further. It has 178 achievements but I have such a hard time keeping the game running I can't get enough done to earn many, which is dragging down my game completion percentage (major party foul). A real pity, underneath all the bugs is a solid racing game but your mileage may vary, the reviews are so mixed and most of the negative reviews are due to bugs not game play. When it works it's a good game, when it doesn't it's real drag (race)!
