Pros: Not one thing comes to mind.

Cons: horrible docs, bad graphics, bad controls

I bought this because my daughter would like to be a drag racer. I had seen other reviews for this that were not complimentary but I thought we would try it anyway. Well, I should have saved my money. I tried to find something good to say about th...e game but there isn't anything, really. The sound is bad, the graphics are poor at best. The controls are fair. The other reviews were being nice...Drag racing is a repetative sport, you get better by doing it over and over. This game takes several seconds to reset a run, how can it possibly take several seconds to do this???? It isn't like the graphics are complex, put the car back at the beginning of the track and let me run again. It takes multiple actions to reset a run.Graphics are poor considering the capability of the xbox. project gotham racing is several orders of magnitude better in the graphics arena and it's 'old' compared to this...Multiplayer is confusing to setup. The use of split screen is bad as the car is too close by default so you can't see what is happening. You can change the camera view angle but it isn't sticky, so next race you have to do it again.The included docs do not discuss how or when to use certain features. There is no discussion of how to get the Nitros to work. I stumbled onto how to get line lock to operate on my own. SUMMARY: DON'T GET THIS. If i could get my money back I would in a heartbeat.
