Instead, these are real objects that you can collide with and that will actively get in your way and impede your progress as you race. On the Hollywood track, Godzilla might take a swipe at your car and send you careening out of control. The environments will change as the laps progress. In contrast to the cartoony environments, however, is some semiserious driving. It's still easy, and your options for tweaking your vehicle are limited, but it's still quite common to spin out or lose control.
Music is another nice touch.
Each track has been scored separately, and within each track, different musical themes are applied to match the environment. There's still a lot that's not implemented, including multiplayer action and the game's Championship mode. Ubi Soft is promising even greater control, deeper customization, and a track editor.
