"I Love This Game"

This is my first review on anything, but this game is the first that is actually worth writing one for.Anyways, This is one game that all cube owners need to buy.so let's get on with it.

Graphics:10
perfect, the game runs at a smooth 60 fps and there is never any jitter, on top of that the worlds are colored beautifully to their climate and there is never any slowdown due to too many things on screen at once. This is better than anything that the PS2 has.

Music:8
The music is fine, they are not annoying, but not phenomenal,It is on the better side of average. Although the music will sometimes not agree with the action on screen, it isn't much of a problem.

Control:10
Amazing, everything in this game is responsive, if you need to do a sudden turn just move the stick a little and you could be on you way to smokin' the cops.Each vehicle has it's own unique movement,such as the smaller cars are alot more responsive than the larger cars, but the larger cars can take a lot more damage.

Gameplay:10
The meat of it all. you are an international smuggler and have been recruited by this man named Frank Luger to help him in his smuggling missions.There are 10 different cars and each car has two different countermeasures (defense items like bombs, boost or an oil slick)that you unlock as you progress through the game's 36 different smugglers missions. In each mission you have different objectives such as the basic pick up and deliver contraband to destroying guard towers and evading the police. There are also team missions where you and 2 com's smuggle while another group tries to steal your contraband and deliver it himself. To top it off, after you beat all the missions with a ''great'' rating, you can unlock a special vehicle.

Multiplayer: Wow. This is one game you and your friends will play for a long time. All original vehicles are available from the start and there are a lot of modes to choose from.

Replay Value:9
it will take you awhile to unlock the special vehicle, and the multiplayer is great, you'll find yourself coming back to this one more often than Extreme G3 or Burnout.
