The people who are mentioning the inappropriate cars in the marketplace should know that anyone who sells a car with anything that violates the Xbox Live terms of service will recieve a ban from Xbox Live.(there were some issues with inapropriate paint jobs for a little while after the game was released but the bans have eliminated them)
A fantastic game for you gearheads...or want to be gearheads. My only concern is the online auctions. The creativity in the XBox Live community is amazing, however there is a good amount of sexual and drug/violence type art being done and there is currently no way to filter it out. Be careful with the young ones.
This is a great racing game. and the actual physics of driving a car are very focused on. i.e. accerleration slows over hills, and around turns the car will start to lose control if taken too hard. certain ways of entering a turn will be more succesful just like in real life. very fun game. although a little difficult. Great for people who enjoy racing games
A great racing game all the way around, great online racing as well. However they allow people to make their own cars designs and all. Although they have tried to mainly stop sexually explicit cars, they do still get up there for sell. So in general with on-line play, as with all on-line interaction; you need to monitor those younger. But only on online play, but best to just limit it to 13+ for online just to be safe.
