Grab this one by the haunches and hump it into submission...errr...

The "physics emulation" in this game, while simple and specific, is elegant and finely tuned. You'll want an analog stick gamepad to fully enjoy this. I have only played the demo but plan to buy. I wish to hell they had bothered to put a split-screen option on this which would make buying it a no-brainer. As it is they have a nice "ghost" option where you can race a ghost image of the best time on a track. No guard rails makes this a fun precision control game. Racing a ghost of your own best time is more compelling than you'd think. The steering/propulsion/braking controls take some getting used to but are spot on, very fluid and represent the best element of the game. Bon champ mon amie's.
