This is such an immense improvement at least graphically over the last one. Ive not played it too much, but i did start the story mode yesterday which i have to say is really good. The cut scenes are top notch.

Ive bought some parts and stuff from the shop, but havent put them to any real use yet.

I love it. Not as much as I thought I would, but I love it.

Getting used to the handling can be tricky, i missed a few capsules on story mode because i thought i would have slid into it when i didnt. I also tried to do that "Snaking" move, but couldnt pull it off, i'll try again when i get home, which is still hours away.

:(

Going to buy this and three new official controllers.

Made the mistake of getting some of those crappy ones with some SR reddies a while back. They quickly degenerated into nothingness.

This game is hard (-duh)

Had it for a while now but im stuck on story mode 3 or 4. The race on the mini track with all the jumps. It's out of 12 racers and you have to get 1st. Tough but im getting better at it.
Custom ship building is brilliant. The one I mainly use is red with the orange flames. Rating A, B, C and it's not too heavy either.
I was browsing hmv this lunchtime watching people play it and their expressions when they un-paused it with the ship travelling 1500kph, lol :D

The one problem though is the toughness. It's very nice to have a challenge but for me, I can see myself not completing it. NGC said in their handbook how tough they thought it was and although the handbook is handy, it doesnt play the game for you. It's still you who has to press all the buttons and control the ship. The levels without side barriers I find almost impossible. But im sure if I keep practising I will get through most of it because overall its an amazing game.

I got onto thet story mission last night, the music is excellent. The only problem i have is trying to remain fairly conservative with the boost. I boost right off the track on a number of occasions.

And dont even get me started on the first one on very hard mode.

How the hell do you race against ghosts? I've been trying to figure it out for ages but... I can't.
