Fantastic Racing Mixed with Demolition Derby Mayhem
(Video Will be Added Here Shortly)
+ Great Graphics
+ Lively very well designed tracks (I LOVED the Colorado Map from the video above)
+ Loads of events / content
+ A nice selection of unique cars (many you don't see in other racing sims)
+ Nice Rock/Dubstep soundtrack
+ Good easy to learn controls
+ A camera that allows you stop the action at any time to go back and see a crash 
+ Decent Progression System 
+ Runs very well on low-end cards (I have a HD7870 and ran at 60+fps with no issues)

- I feel like the car damage is lacking, when you get destroyed you can't help but think "really?! It looks like I can keep going!"
- Many cars look and feel "too new" to be derby cars
- No 1st person seat view (would have been great in a derby game)
- I felt there were a bit too many loading screens, but they were short
- Lacks off-road / derby locations (Street Derby?)
- Lots of sponsored advertising, ESPN, Monster, Etc.
- Pre-defined car appearances (can't choose custom colors / details)
- Limited upgrade system (you can upgrade "power, strength or handling" very basic, I wish there were armor upgrades)
- The demolition modes can be largely dependent on luck
- The game can crash randomly (it crashed on me once, causing me to lose some progress)
