Enjoyable driving game with a unique twist on a common gameplay structure. The game keeps itself fresh with the “switch into any car in the traffic” mechanic and puts it to good use with its mission designs. Even though the missions are fun on their own, they are not varied enough to keep me interested in 8 hours of gameplay. I did side-missions during the first 4-5 hours, but I got bored eventually and focused on finishing the game.

The handling model is really solid for an arcade game, every car feels different from each other (which can be lacking in some arcade driving games), and every one of them feels fun to drive. Car variety is really good too, as there are lots of different types of cars, from dull traffic cars to hypercars, to rally monsters.

The presentation is okay, the art style isn’t particularly strong yet its strong coherence makes it enough for this type of game. The story isn’t that special, but it’s enjoyable enough for this type of game. Music is forgettable, I can’t remember any song from the game. Car sounds range from okay to good, yet they sound too flat and inorganic.

I think 6/10 is a good score for this game, I think this is a really good setup for a really good sequel, but that will never come true as Ubisoft is focused on remaking Skull & Bones for the 8th time. Also, it's been nearly thirteen years, and this game is forgotten. Sadly this game will only remain as an underrated driving game with no sequel for the rest of eternity.
