How Codies can make 12 cars racing on dirt, snow, and mud ultimately boring, I do not know. While a good looking game, and with a pretty good car list to boot, the game feels about as dry as a popcorn fart, and lacks any sort of excitement or push when it comes to actually racing, due mainly to a lack of difficulty even when putting the game on higher settings. Seems to only be well regarded because it was the only new racing game apart of the launch of the next gen consoles.
