Has anyone actually played this game yet? I looked at the Metacritic page but it seems the only "User" reviews were written by the Codemasters marketing department. Just looking for an honest opinion.

I actually wrote the 'boy racer' user review, giving it a score of 8/10. I've had the game for a couple of weeks now, maybe. My opinion of it hasn't changed. It's not perfect but is good fun and the ability to design your own courses really is something rather special. I'd say the difficulty is high, but it's probably just that I'm not good at racing games.
