Advantages: Internet Capabilities and amazing graphics and sound.
Disadvantages: None
This game is totally amazing in lots of different ways.
There is alot of originality involved in this game.
There are some great little features that have been added in this game. For example if you play MSR in the daytime then when you race in the game it will be daylight but if it is night time then you will race in the dark.
Probably for the first time ever winning is not the only thing that counts. This game is based on a points basis which you may think doesnt sound very good but it is because you get points for winning,good driving,tricks and fast times.
It has an official license so that you can buy lots of real cars, granturismo style.
This is a city based driving game in which you race around cities and come across some real locations such as Big Ben,Buckingham Palace and Trafalgar square. There are lots of shops also including Pizza Hut and Tower Records.
There are many other cities apart from London including Tokyo and San Francisco.
Another great thing is that using the inbuilt clock Big Ben tells the actual time.
For the production of this game over 40,000 photograph were taken of the three cities. Also there were over 40 hours of video footage used in making this game.Now that is dedication.
This game features over 30 licenced convertibles with over 11 manufacturers.
A player can always see how well they compare to other people in the world by uploading there best times into a world league.
This game has a very original sound to it by varying the music in the car according to each city and the location within it.
The developers recorded the actual engine sounds of each car for an ultra realistic feel.
