Is it still worth playing?
Racing through rush hour traffic mixes with vehicular combat, the cars themselves as weapons, in this 2005 racing game for PlayStation 2, Xbox and Xbox 360. The modes include circuit racing and Road Rage, in which the player crashes as many rivals as possible within a time limit. Burning Lap is a single-lap time attack, and in Eliminator the last-placed racer's car is detonated every thirty seconds until one is left. In Crash the player starts at a junction and aims to pile up as many Crash Dollars as possible. Traffic checking lets the player ram same-way traffic and send it forward, and a checked car that hits a rival counts as a Traffic Takedown. Vertical Takedowns land on a rival car after a jump. A race where traffic is a weapon is still the heart of the game today.
