looks pretty cool, lotsa of different functions you do in it. driving, car jacking, shooting and rail shooting.

kind of arcade looking.

Wow, before when I heard about this game it didn't really interest me, but now, I think it's on my want list!

This game does look pretty neato, the only thing I would be worried about is how repititious it could be.

This game is insulting to gamers in my opinon, it's like they can take a good concept and burn it to hell and expect us to deal with it.

After just playing the game a little bit it has become apparent that this game has been made to sell not because it is good but because it is a good concept and it looks good in motion.
The game itself looks great, the graphics are on par with burn out legends and jumping from car to car is pretty damn great.

However this game is plagued left and right by horrible game design and mediocre driving controls. There isn't even a handbrake and the brake button is pure BS since it practically stops your car if you tap on it. The inculsions of the throttle button seems to be pure useless and the game probably would have been more fun with just a slowdonw button and steering.

Even the 3rd part of the first mission will have people going WTF at the retarded ways you can die, I mean how exactly do you throw off the sniper sight from you? It seems like this game copied various elements from GTA without doing them well at all but instead making them tedious.

And the worst part is there are NO checkpoints in any of the parts of missions. So say in one mission you boringly follow or drive to the location which is a pure waste of time since the driving is not fun at all, then you get there and you complete some task there, then you have to chase the badguy by another vehicle and it has that annoying sniper mechanism. Well then if you don't get lucky you have to try that whole part over again. I find this lazy game design somewhat insulting to gamers. And to make matters worse it seems every level has that filler portion at the beginning where you just have to drive to the point which you have to REPLAY because of thier lack of care for game design. Just try this game for a bit and you will realize what i'm talking bout.

I guess it's most upsetting because they had a good concept and they threw it totally off and wrecked the fun out of it with crappy game design and oversights on control. I swear they didn't even gametest this product from the way it turned out.

And of course u'll have bugs where your car will magically run off the map into some oblivion which is very strange because the game will continue as you drive around clipping through random things.

Supposedly the US version will have an adjusted difficulty level but personally I'm not to bothered by the Euro difficulty, The fact that it has no check points lengthens the life span of the game because it's not as if the levels have been gratuitously long just yet.

You through off the sniper sight by zig-zagging, but it sounds to me like you were already annoyed with the game before you got to that mission. I've had the game since Thanksgiving and I've yet to experience that clipping bug.

It's designed to be a fast grab and go game, Timed levels and no hand brake means you keep moving because you have no time for any of that "go anywhere" buisness when you're suposed to be pursuing criminals or escaping for your life. Game mode are a bit of the same as it's always about getting somewhere fast and killing someone but how many other games are more repetative and get game of the year? :P There a time trial mode which features level specific tasks, the main career mode features missions where you must change cars, but also some where you must keep your own car running, tailing enemies, some on foot battles, helicopter sniping, boat chases, dozens of cars to comondere and the occasional exciting moment. (I remember having to leap from my car just as it was about to explode and landing on a new car barely escaping the blast.)

From the completly opposite experience between myself and the other guy I'd be willing to say the game is atleast modderatly enjoyable, when I first played it I compared it to Spyhunter on PS2 so that might be a better way to determin if you think you'll like it.
