    I have it for the 360. One of the greatest arcade style racers I've ever played. Lots of fun to play online too. Fast, fun, frantic, and totally brutal when you do wreck. Some ppl don't like the open world city setup (it can make some of the races a bit frustrating), but I don't mind. Worth a look IMO.

    I've got it on PS3, don't play it (or any other games much) but it is a fun game to play. The wrecks are superb. The game play reminds me of Carmaggeddon - different goal, but the layout and terrain is similar.

    I got PC version. Not as good as I thought... Undercover is so much better.

    Gets very repetitive very quickly. Also, driving physics aren't as good as the older games, it's way harder to drift now. I think they tried to make it more realistic for some reason.

    Well I bought it after I saw it for £15 in HMV. It is pretty fun and very addictive, but I reckon you guys could be right that its a very short term game. I can my enthusiasm waning for it soon. Until then though...

    I did lose interest in it temporarily after picking up GTA4 and Far Cry 2, but I do find myself firing it back up every few weeks and getting re-hooked for a couple of days. And Criterion has set the benchmark when it comes to delivering DL content......all of the updates/tweaks were free (along with the motorcycles DL), and they've continued to add new car packs as recently as a couple of weeks ago(more than a year after release).

    Still wish it had the old crash challenges though. The new "anytime, anywhere" version isn't as much fun or as intense. It's mostly kind of ridiculous.
