fast
and furious as ever, and
this edition incorporates both city and canyon racing for a variety of thrills
and spills. The download is large and the installation lengthy,
but the provided content offers an excellent trial of the full version.
Customize one of three cars--Chevy Camaro SS, Lamborghini Gallardo, or Mitsubishi
Lancer Evolution IX, in Muscle, Tuner, and Exotic classes, respectively--with the
AutoSculpt feature, then take to the city streets with two races to
claim territories as your own and unlock a two-car duel along the
canyon.
After a brief
disclaimer from digitized model Emmanuelle Vaugier and a reminder to always wear your seatbelt, you're
transported to the car-selection screen, where you pick your weapon, tweak it
as you see fit, then take it into battle. The Circuit
Race pits you and three teammates against four of the Scorpions. If
anyone on your team finishes first, you win. The Drift Race forces you into
many tight curves that require drifting. The more curves you drift through, the
more points you earn. The last, unlockable race along the canyon starts in
medias res, as you must follow a Scorpion car tightly, thenlose him when
you take the lead. There's not enough here to keep anyone driving forever.
