My favourite racing game of all time. Too bad the franchise was ruined by EA.

More “left to rot” than ruined. Paradise was great too, and then there was nothing until Paradise Remastered (unless you count that one mobile game).

Paradise was great, but I think strict tracks are way better than finding your way from point A to point B.

It's such a buzzkill to lose a race because you took a turn you shouldn't have after blazing through the first 3/4 of it in first. For a game that requires twitch reactions at high speeds, it certainly was a choice to make players have to constantly take their eyes off the road to find the map.

It was so frustrating. It would be better if they had tracks set up after you start a race.
