 Boring December 29, 2008
Not much to do but drive in circles unless you are able to unlock missions. Graphics were dark.

I love the racing game and this is a fun one. Only problem i have is that I cannot get past the qualifying. Will have to bring in a video junky to get me past that so I can race with the big guys!!
But what I can get into is alot of fun!
Worth buying? YES!

The previous reviewers did a good job summarizing the good & bad of the product.
Pro: Fun solo game at a reasonable price
Con: Two-player issues and slow re-load times
The game is fun and addictive as you work your way though the missions/years, unlocking more car models and improving your technique. Actually, I found the game most frustrating in the early missions/years because the early cars have horrible "drift", while later models actually drive tighter and make it easier to win those later stages.
Now for the cons -- the game does indeed seem to slow down in response in two-player mode, and given the sensitivity desired for good driving technique at high speeds, it ruined that portion for me. Additionally, when in solo mode, the re-load time necessary after each failed mission makes for a frustrating experience when you just want to get back in there right away and try it again.
Bought for about twenty bucks, this game was a good buy.
 Realistic racing, frustrating missions August 28, 2008

Be warned. The description for this game makes it seem like you can race any of the chosen cars from 1961 to 1971 whenever you want. Wrong! You must complete missions to unlock additional cars and years. "Dodge" is the second mission and it's incredibly frustrating to try and survive 5 catastrophic accidents within a 1/2 lap involving every vehicle on the track except the pace car.
Other than this, it's an enjoyable driving game.
