Pros: Beautiful graphics, decent physical realism, many challenges, online racing against a community of experienced racers.
Cons: No longer shipping, some problems with online and TCP/IP play, some limits to the realism.

Pros: Great combination of cars, intoxicating driving, superb sound, Damage!
Cons: They shoulda made collision/impacts on this game a lot more convincing.
