Rated - 4 starsWorth a rental

Definitely worth a rental.

The game boasts game modes including a racing championship, superstar licenses (set challenges to beat) and a training feature.

There's also online play and trophies to play for, along with in-game achievements to obtain.

For non-racing fans in general, it's not the easiest game to pick up and play, but then it's not too difficult to get better at it either.

I read reviews on this before I rented and on the whole they were very good, so the creators of the game are definitely doing something right.

As said in the title, worth a rental, but die-hard racing gamers may even opt for a full purchase, considering the playability you can get out of it.

If you enjoyed TOCA for the PC from abot 10 years ago then fill your boots. NOT why I bought a PS3.

Rated - 4 starsEntertaining

This game is definitely worth a rental. It's not quite as great as GRID, or as realistic as GT5 Prologue. It will however provide you with a racing fix, especially if you have alreay sucked GRID and Gt5 dry.

I'd give it 4/5

It'll be good fun for about a week or 2. But yeah, based on renting it, definitely worth it.
