Because the original on PS2 was pretty cack, I didn't really put much thought into buying this game, but the more I read about it, the more I couldn't help being interested.
Now that I've read some very positive reviews on the game I can't wait to play it - especially on Live. :-)
I like the sound of the free racing aspect of it. So even though another player might have a more powerful car, you might come up with a better route to reach the finish destination.
Combined with my other Live games, I'll have a pretty nice little variety when I pick this up. ;-)
If some of you do pick this game up, we can even continue this thread for opinions of it and our XBox Live experiences in the game. :-)

Or poor at best.
Plus with XBox Live, you get upto 8 players to a race and you can face a shedload of different players who race differently and take their own routes and have their own favourite cars/bikes.
So overall, the online play combined with the editor area to place your own check points for online races just doubles the score of this game.

I hope they do what they should and allow car custimixation for xbox live, as this is something I personally think sucks about the ps2 version I own (yeah I know but I couldn't wait) Should be superb on xbox live anyway, better have a motogp 2 style idiot removal system though
