What I appreciated was the semitransparent traffic box showing the cars coming up behind and in front of my car. Positioning yourself directly in the path of the car trying to pass can give that extra boost to regain lost speed. The only annoying issue is after a lap has been completed, your time is flashed in the middle of the screen. It seems harmless, but if you re in traffic, it can be hard to see the cars around you causing contact when none was intended. Having the weather affect the races seems to be missing however.
Every race is sunny and summer-like.
A light rain would keep the drivers honest and different weather patterns, cloudy or stormy, would have given the game a different dimension. The multiplayer game could have been better supported. Besides the online support, the only option you have for two players is the versus battle. Although the split screen works adequately, it gets boring pretty quick. It s similar to the quick race where a car and track are selected.
