This was my entry to the series and absolutely loved it. Great soundtrack and controls, with good difficulty ramping too. Along with typical race and stunt modes, the new survival mode was really fun -- handling ice, big cliffs, low oxygen, and even freezing temperatures. I played this all the way through on Xbox 360. It really bummed me out that this game never got a PC release. I would love to replay this game all over again on the PC. And again.
