A great racer on the DS
I picked this game up a few days after I got my DS and it has kept me entertained for months. For some reason, this game got pretty mediocre reviews but for a launch title its pretty good. The graphics and sound are well done as well as the controls in my opinion. The game is a combination of arcade style racing and Gran Turismo style upgrading in a sense. You can buy and install upgrades for your cars although you don't see a difference except for paint or body kits. The main problem I have with the game is that the collision detection is shoddy and if you barely bump another car it sometimes skyrockets them forward while leaving you sitting there. Other times the computer cars seemed exceptionally good on certain races and downright stupid on others. Its too bad that the multiplayer requires multiple carts so I haven't yet tried the multiplayer. Of course once you eventually unlock everything the game isn't as much fun but its still a good diversion until some of the DS's better games come out.
CAR FUN!!!
This game had good graphics,fun levels,and cool cars but if you want a good game go get something like Splinter Cell:Chaos Theory. My advice is if you like stupid kiddie games get this. Other wise don't waste your money.
Despite..
Despite the fact this game was reviewed rather ' bad ' by the pro's im a 14 year old pro at games and i know my games. Most reviews complained the steering was bad. Well, its a racing game.. to me, a REAL racing game. At first, this game was a little shaky and frustrating while trying to drive, but i got into it after 2 races or so.. i think this game is a hot one out for the DS right now, and is better over ridge racer.
I only rented this game; and that was awhile ago; but i played it long enough to recognize this games capabilities
GRAPHICS: 4.5/5
SOUND: 3/5/5
CONTROL: 4.5/5
FUN: 4
OVERALL: 4 or 4.5
Buy it for someone with a knack of playing racing games while they are on the road.. :)
Terrible
This game is the worst game I ever played because when you are turning it is so hard to turn. Don't waste your money like I did.
I MEAN DON'T BUY IT.
Great Game
This Game is a great racing game.You can use nitro boosts to help u speed up during races.The car designs are awsome which include the hummer h2,corvette,lambohrgini diablo,and more.But need for speed underground 2 will probably a better racing game.So if you are patient wait to get need for speed underground 2 which is coming out in a month or two.But if your impatient and cant wait a month get this game or if your a racing fanatic get both.Hope this was helpful.Blue.
