This is the only game that lets you race virtually every Corvette made in street and track settings. Over 80 incredibly rendered production Corvette models from '53 to '03---plus awesome show cars. Upgrade your 'Vette's engine and suspension---feel the effect of real car physics. Race on various tracks and an obstacle filled Route 66 from Chicago to LA. The choice is yours...6 characters, 15 official production colors, multiple environments. Variable camera angles---and era-specific HUDs---enhance your race experience. Heritage mode allows you to "test drive" any stock production 'Vette. [TDK Mediactive]

What Corvette has working against it, though, are solid, if boring aesthetics, and iffy physics.

Corvette does feature over 80 cars, but being they react so similar (regardless of the terrain) there is very little incentive to play entirely through the entire game. The default computer AI is mindless, but adjusting the difficulty level is a must for real racers.

Just an average racer. It leans more to the arcade side as most of the vehicles are easy to control and upgrades are handled automatically. The five modes add some depth but they are just variations on a theme that's not so captivating to begin with.

Falls flat in just about every way a Corvette or racing fan enthusiast could hope it would succeed...it's difficult to recommend it to even the most devout Corvette enthusiasts.

You need to be a Corvette Nut to get any real enjoyment out of this game. It gets boaring after a couple hours. One thing that is nice about this is the information that they have about each individual car.

Ryan M. gave it a 6:
Low visibility, visibility and life-like graphics are a must for racing games and this game is lacking both. Idea is great, finally a game hosting AMERICAN CARS! Not only that but they are CHEVYS. But thats not all, they are the best affordable cars on the market "CORVETTE". It should be more like 4x4 evo and allow you to soup up your own car and buy upgrades yourself for career mode. They need a Corvette2 that hosts all of these ideas in 1.

Mike R. gave it a 10:
Great except graphics are poorly done.

Jake B. gave it a 10:
When does this come out?

Gus B. gave it a 3:
This game is very unpolished... does not feel like your connected to the car at all. I love car games on xbox but not this one. If you love vettes there may be some hope but bottomline it's not much fun. Stick to PGR2 or Revolution... ps... why do idiots rate the game when they haven't seen/played it yet?

Mutlu K. gave it a 10:
Excellent game and the graphics are great. My favourite car game so far.

Frodo Baggins gave it a 10:
Briliant graphics!
