« Entre les crash, les déconnexions aléatoires en multijoueurs. Je souffle fort. Pour le multijoueur il vaut mieux oublier, pour du solo ça reste jouable. »

« Overrated. Stupid achievements that require redoing the game or too specific things. Sound bugs in vehicle. Badly aged, it's a childhood game for some, that's all. »

« The only reason for the negative review is how often the game crashes due to old online services they have not removed from the PC version. I think there's a work around but honestly couldn't be bothered with the faff. »
