So there isn't really a story at all, but once you get into this game it is very addictive and awesome. The graphics are great, only some minor hiccups, the sound is perfect (and I understand they recorded each car individually for realism) and doesn't take anything away at all. Replay is excellent because you can keep trying to better your times in each race, and even just driving around Hawaii at 250km/h can be pretty damn sweet.
