			Simply one of the best racing game I ever played ... Each car behaves differently, driving with style is rewarded, the number of modes is simply amazing ... I love this game

			AWESOME game!! I think it has better gameplay than the 2 Project Gotham Racing games that followed on the Xbox. Definately worth playing to completion (and to get that Nissan Skyline GTR)

			This game has sweet graphics for a DC game, and the control is good too. However, I don't think the 'kudos' idea really worked out that well, as you can sometimes get more points for driving shoddily than driving well.

			I kinda agree with IT290, still had so much fun with that game just love it

			Was too hard to progress mostly because for you to win a car they put really hard times to beat took me a along time to get some cars untill I got online with the DC and just d/l a 100% save.

			You can cheat in the game by selecting a 'best lap' mission, beating the time, and then screwing around and doing donuts for a while. You'll rack up a bunch of kudos and can unlock cars that way. I think there sre still some missions you have to do, but at least you can skip some of the overly difficult ones.

			I've played through MSR without using any cheats und funny stuff like described above but I honestly didn't find the game really hard , I remember having trouble with beating only 1 challenege for a car (don' t know which exactly) but that's it..... btw. for some reason there are still locked tracks, after I finished everything is it some kind of bug, that is well known? (I've got the PAL/EUR Version of MSR)

			cool game, but it can be frustrating when you loose a bunch of kudos points

			Awesome game. Has better "feeling" than gotham racing, and cars that I actually see more than one time in the streets (megane coupe, astra and celica). I also like the difference you feel between different kinds of traction. The only con was that unrealistic bug that gives you best traction in curves, with low-mid cars & above, when using full gas & brake simultanoeusly with abs off (discovered that by accident and became addicted to it).
