  1. The 43-car field in the Xbox version compared to 25-car field in the PS2 version is by far what makes the Xbox game better.

    Beat the Heat games are the best part of this speedster, cleverly mixing a variety of cool driving techniques with engrossing competition.
  3. Nice graphics, solid sound, and easy controls...But, since it missed the boat regarding that special something (fun for extended lengths of time) and it really can be “too much” in the options department, I honestly must say this is for the real race fans -- not the casual gamer.
