Title
High speed pursuits, a lot of them
Its a racing game that has a grat core gameplay, but unfortunatly faulters when delivering the actual levels to build this gameplay around. The car handle pretty well, they are smooth to drive and there is a lot of mastering in knowing how to drift through the curves perfectly. The game also features a pursuit system, in which cops will attempt to stop and arrest you, in a similar fashion to the GTA games. These chases are pretty long, and the AI is pretty reckless in the ways they employ to bring you down. Unfortunatly, it feels that this system actively punishes the player for doing well. It will detect the person leading the race, and escaping the police officers is pretty impossible as they can always catch up to you do to rubber banding. It can be really frustrating to lose a race that you otherwise would beat just because of the way the AI works in here. Apart from that, i feel that the races take way too long to beat, some over 10 minutes, and by halfway im already bored with the experience. Its pretty barren in content when it comes to the tracks available and cars as well.

So despite the solid core mechanics, its such a flawed game that it really impacts the satisfaction of the gameplay.

    I can only hope the people who rated this poorly played the inferior versions or hate arcade racers.

    Despite playing the xbox version I have very fond memories of this game. Easily the best racing game I've played, as someone who despises racing games and is very bad at them.

    Best style and atmosphere. Getting launched from the helicopters bombs was always a blast. Played on GameCube.
