    Unlimited up to a point...

    This game is the first game I've pre-ordered in my life.

    The first.

    I have never been so excited for a game to come out, as I was with this game. To be honest, I am partially disappointed with this game, but I'll explain more as this goes on.

    Gameplay: The racing physics are really quite weak, I will say. The cars handly really poorly, which is quite a frustrating thing. Another problem is actually racing with people online. It is near impossible to chase down another car, challenge them, and actually make that all work. Another small issue for me, is the fact that working through the single player is really tedious, because it just doesn't offer near the fun that online does. Other than that, the game is a truly fun experience with the way that the online and offline aspects of the game blend together. It makes it very easy to play.

    Graphics: The game looks really good. Everything is very smooth, and maintains a solid framerate throughout. For such a large island, I find it cool that it stays so beautiful throughout. The interfaces look great, too!

    Sound: I honestly hae to say one thing. The GPS voice whatever thing, is so annoying, I can't stand it. She is always talking. The soundtrack and effects are also extremely weak.

    Value: With an awesome online, and being able to buy tons of cars, houses and outfits, the game is really addictive, and lasts a long time.

    Would I recommend this game? Sure. Do I guarentee you'll fall in love? No. It's a game that you should do some research on before you buy, but for me, I'm still quite satisfied.

    Positives:
    + Addictive gameplay
    + Tons of cars, houses and outfits
    + Beautiful island
    + The best online racer out there

    Negatives:
    - Tough to join a race with someone online
    - Boring single player
    - Everything about the sound aspect is awful!
