i just picked this up at gamestop a few hours ago. i'm not going to launch into some insanely huge review, however i do want to say that the xbox version is just awesome. the graphics look amazing. the sounds are very realistic, and the cars handle very well. there are so many upgrades available for the cars, including turbos, nitrous, wheels, and A TON more. this game is so much better than older need for speed games! if you're at all interested in this sort of thing, absolutely get the game.
