This is a sweet game with huge areas and lots of guys to kill and stuff to see and find. I enjoy the open ended gameplay and being able to do what you want when you want. The fighting leaves something to be desired, using only one or two buttons. Other than that, this is s great game. I like being able to climb to the top of any structure and kill anybody. I wish they would have a stats page so I could see how far I have walked, how many people I have killed, gameplay time, etc, kinda like GTA. Anyways, worth picking up, but maybe not for 60 bucks because there is no expansion capabilities due to lack of multiplayer and xbox live support. I got it online from best buy for 35 bucks and that was a good price.

After reading some of the reviews about the game I was a bit reluctant to pick this one up even though I have been a huge fan of the series for years. I got a few gift cards for Christmas ans got all the other games I wanted so I decided to pick it up and am ashamed I was on the fence with this one. After playing for a bit, I am a huge fan of the upgrades since unleased. Free ride is fun, as well as the racing. The graphics are great and the variety of vehicles is great, as expected. The only problem I have so far is with the ATVs. Their balance seems off but I do not ride ATVs much, especially not in racing conditions, so I may be wrong. I do ride dirt bikes and their physics seems fine so far. All in all this is s good game. If you are a fan of the series, be sure to pick it up. This series is by far the best off raod racing game I have played. It is not the greatest game on the market, but deserves more respect that it has received.
What's great about it: Wide variety of game play, good graphics
