It's a great game if you're into the whole fake cars that look the same and thinking you're going to win but you get hit by an item and go to last place thing.
I say go out and get a real racing game with real cars (Need for Speed).
And to those people that will comment to my post saying the cars don't look the same and they're actually really really really really really really freakin' awesome, I don't care. They look like they came out of a matchbox value pack baught at Wal-Mart.
... So yeah if you like the prequels you'll probably like it.
