While the visuals and soundtrack are great, the single player mode only took me around 2.5 hours to complete. Easily a rental. It's an entertaining couple of hours though.
This game sounds like a good idea in the making. Cross country racing across America is a great idea but what really held it back was bad controls and rubber-banding AI. I also don't know why they even bothered advertising that you will be out of the car. It only happens 3 times tops. Otherwise this should only be a rental.
