This is due out in UK tomorrow.
Is it any good? Is it worth a look ?
How are graphics / gameplay / realism ?
Thanks.

Yes it is...if you are looking for an excellent arcade racer.  Graphics
really are sweet with a TNT.  Don't expect GPL for realism here...its not
even close...The bottom line is that it is FUN....

  The graphics are superb.  It can almost pass for a television show.  I've
got every option turned on on my P2-266 with 128MB and Voodoo2 SLI machine,
and framerates are very good at 1024 x 768.

  It does model "damage" to a certain extent, but don't expect a lot
of realism.  But at least you get somewhat penalized for crashing into things,
unlike NFS3.  You can still hit cars head-on at 100mph and you just stop dead,
no flips or cars torn in half...   The damage effects are mostly skin changes,
but your fenders will crumple a little, your headlights will get broken and
not shine, etc.  It's no Viper Racing for damage, but it's FUN.

  The illusion of speed is very good, especially when you're flying down a
mountain and your rear end is sliding around curves.  Has nice lighting
effects, especially when cops are chasing you at night.  If you want an "Oh
wow" arcade racing game, this is it.

.  If you want an "Oh

I agree, it's a fun Arcade game, it is also a good game to show off your
computer to a person that doesn't have a computer.
