The car models are very good and look great in some afternoon light. The cities are massive and have been modelled brilliantly, but the draw distance could have been better: you can see buildings gradually appearing in the distance out of the hazy fog. The multiplayer-only modes really benefit from an enclosed area, as the cities are far too big to make an eight-player mode fun, and this is a sensible addition by the developers. Each of these modes can be played in the whole city or in enclosed sections. This is the same for all online games, but once you get in with a good group of players you can play for hours at a time. While all these modes are fun, 'Capture the Gold' takes some time to get the hang of, and all the games are only as much fun as the people you play with. This puts the other players after the player that is 'it' and creates some crazy chase action. Unlike 'Tag', the goal of this game is to be 'it' for the most time before the time runs out. If the cop car tags another player, they too become a cop car who joins the existing cop. At the start of the game one player is a cop car who has to hunt down the other players. 'Hunter' is an extended version of 'Tag'. The final person to remain is the winner. The person that is 'it' when the timer runs out is out of the game and a new round is started. Someone is made 'it' and they have to tag someone else to make them 'it'. On the way, the other team can steal it from you, and the team with the most cash when the time runs out wins. Gold is placed somewhere in the city and you have to pick it up and return it to your team depot. 'Capture the Gold' is a team game, very much like Capture the Flag. On top of the Checkpoint and Cruise modes - already available in the single-player modes - there are four multiplayer games. Supporting eight players in all the online modes, this is the most fun Xbox Live game currently available, and one that everyone should be able to enjoy. While the single-player missions are fun for a while, the online play is what the game is all about.
