    Woah, I guessed this got an 8 just by skimming a couple sentences. And earlier I guessed Ninja Gaiden Sigma Plus got a 6 by doing the same. I guess I'm getting used to the review styles and their corresponding numbers. 0.o

    im about 94 percent into story mode and not completly letdown about the shortage of story cutscenes,the stages are pretty tough and the new racing aspect can prove the difficulty in getting use to more than one vehicle,iron maiden level was awesome and interesting ,think tm fans will love it!

    That scene isn't for show, you can destroy the Ferris wheel in the amusement park and it'll roll into a mountain. It's pretty cool to watch, actually. The amusement park is far and away the best level. LA's rooftops are a close second. I really miss the multiple characters/endings. Also, having to unlock the cars feels cheap, especially the first race where the fastest car is locked out and there's no second place. With so many hills and turns the only good shot you get at the fastest car (Crimson Fury) is on the bridge where the cars behind you get a good shot at you. There's just not a good balance between the cars speed and the weapons in the race.

    Oh yeah! Mikel, I was going to say there is something very similar to Nuke mode in a single player boss fight. And I was complaining in an earlier post, but outside of locking the cars at the beginning and unbalanced race mode, the game is quite good and I like the cutscenes, I just wish there was a story for every car like in previous games. Always fun to see how Calypso betrays practically every wish.

Great
YOU'LL LOVE
  • Huge amount of variety to play around with
  • Story campaign hides a ton of hidden extras
  • Nuke is a cool addition to multiplayer
YOU'LL HATE
  • Multiplayer feels sparse next to campaign
  • Races tend to hinge on just picking the fastest car
  • The difficulty, if you prefer to breeze through games
