racing and flying

This is definitely a rent before you buy type of game. First off, there is a pretty good amount of vehicles in the game which allows for somewhat of a reply value. The cars you race, however, are not what you might expect. If you're tired of racing exotic supercars, doing 200mph+, then the cars in this game are a nice change of pace; and that's really what I liked about playing this game: racing station wagons and trucks, etc. Call me crazy, but driving ferraris and porches and etc., simply get boring game after game.

As for racing itself, you're going against the clock and against computer cars. Kind of like a checkpoint, yet you still have the beat the other cars. And, let me tell you this is why you want to rent this game first. I had it for 5 days, and got every single car, track, and beat the stunt mode. A couple of the slower cars, or the ones w/ poor handling will give you some trouble, but the more you play the game, the easier everything becomes. The graphics aren't too bad, and as the name suggests, it tried to eliminate any pop-ups or the "vanishing point" in the horizon, and accomplished that task. The car models also look very nice, and the game really isn't too bad. I just wouldn't pay [much for it] Either way, rent it first or try it at a friends before you throw money at it. You just never know.

i dont make any money winning driving games, but i would consider myself a pro. i have all the "super licenses" on Gt3/ ps2, and pride myself on beating other race games. so i kept "vanishing point" in my collection and would return to it to give it another shot every now and then to see why i havent played it in so long. it didnt take long to figure it out. the only thing enjoyable about this game is the "stuntman" challenge section, other than that this game will make you so frustrated you will break controllers and mabey more. the graphics are fine but, i couldnt get anywhere, even after hours of dedication. RENT BEFORE YOU BUY!!! i finally traded out this waste of disk space for "V-Rally 2", and now i enjoy myself again. p.s.: anything that says NFS on it will make you smile!

I was like alot of people. I boughgt into the hype of this game and to tell you the truth thats all it was... hype. Sure there are tons of cars but getting to them is the tough part.

The major problem with the game is.. did all the tracks have to be made of ice? Try cornering at any speeds and you slide into a wall. Get bumped at any speeds and you spin. This game is just awful and I wish I would I rented it first and saved my 40 dollars for something better.
