First impressions (midnight until two last night)...
- Visuals: Beautiful. Especially in the area of lighting effects. Lots of polygons and lots of textures. The detail does suffer the farther you look off-track.
- AI: Impressive. No rigid retracing of the best lines. They can be jerks, however. Like tapping you when your rear is a bit loose.
- Content: Great car lineup, we'll see about the mods. Apparently visual styling is also very deep.
- Controls: The wheel's pretty good, I love the full analog steering and throttle control. I do need to find a solid surface to bolt the wheel to.
- Physics: Not enough to go on, but from all accounts it's spot on.
Funny:

Career Mode
Most players, however, are going to want to jump into Career Mode, which is going to let you start out as a hip young cop, sent undercover with your partner, a reformed street thug, to infiltrate a band of highway pirates and their gritty, underworld street-racing empire. Along the way, you'll learn about life, love, and what it means to be a man.
Well, that's all entirely false, except for the part about you being a cop. Well, OK, that's a lie too. In Career Mode, you're going to start out with nothing but a small war chest of cash, and absolutely no cars at all. In order to start working your way up through the ranks of the international racing elite, you're going to have to start small.
