It's definently a nice game. Graphics are quite good, sound is decent, gameplay is fun. Overall, it's a very good game and the realism is quite noticeable...
However, one fact that i didn't like about this game was that all the cars were older models. I can't really complain that much as the developers wanted to focus on these types of cars. But i just think that it would be really cool if they had more modern cars in this game.
Btw, also check out some reviews on the net. I know that gamespot had one and it did a pretty good job on giving you a feel for the game.
