This game is visually impressive with 16 diverse race courses and 8 vehicle classes with 5+ submodels in each class. The multiplayer is definitely cool. This game is much better than the original Motorstorm in those regards. However, in the later levels (6,7,8 of 8) of difficulties whether you win a race is more determined by luck of the rubberbanding AI screwing up vs any direct connection to driving skill on your part. For example it is possible to race your best and come in 4th place with a time around 3:52 and first laying off the boost until the very end of the final lap with a time of 4:10 on the SAME race. Your frustration may vary.
I borrowed this from a friend and would consider buying it for the non-cheating multiplayer for $15ish.
