I got it.
I'm still impressed with what Sumo Digital did. It really is arcade perfect as far as I can tell, and the added stuff is great. I played the first 2 levels of the Mission mode, it's great fun, although sometimes quite frustrating too (especially if you just MUST have AAA on all missions). So far I unlocked 2 bonus songs (the Euro remixes of Magical Sound Shower and Splash wave - and they rock), the 288 GTO and the reversed Palm Beach.
Haven't tried it online yet (I'm only getting Live next week). There's a 2 month Live trial included.
Oh yeah, not sure if everyone is getting it, but my copy came with a an extra cd with 6 songs, the 3 main ones and their euro remixes.
Anyway, thumbs up. I can't remember the last time I was so addicted to a racing game.
