    Got a 5.0, which is even less than what ProStreet got, and way below Most Wanted. I'm worried now, I thought this was going to be top quality.
    I know the game is out in America, so has anyone got it - what d'ya think of it?

    Wow, I was hoping this would be as good as most wanted. Oh well, I guess I'll wait for more reviews to come in and hope IGN are wrong.

    the review was  garbage , he was bashing things that are standard of this franchise  , well I remember Carbon had terrible reviews  too  but I also remember very distinctly that Carbon was a sweet experience for me  at least

    Well it's been going down hill since Underground 2 so I'm not that surprised.

      I really enjoyed that one too, but Carbon actually got an 8.2 from IGN."
      remember that  IGN 's reviewers constantly changes and I myself have no Idea who the reviewer was ?

    It's one review and it's IGN...don't starting raising your white flags already. Though I have no expectations for this game and don't plan on touching it anytime soon (just like Prostreet).

    It's the IGN review, people. Hold out for GB and 1up's scores.

    The GT Review isn't too peachy either. Personally, I lost interest in the series after trying out Underground. I would check out Most Wanted for cheap though

    :( They all say similar things."
    Well I don't know why anyone would be surprised...the series has gone stale a long time ago and it's going to take a lot for the series to become decent again.

    Unfortunately I have to fully agree with the score after playing the game for few hours myself. :(

    Let's put Live Action Cutscenes that mean nothing into a game with horrible racing. That'll sell like hotcakes and it's so unique and has never been done before. Let's also make it so people can give us money so we give them fake money.

    Hoorah for ingenuity!

    The PS3 version got a 4/10 on IGN. Completely agree too. Midnight Club: Los Angeles is way better.
