What would you guys rate this on average? A 6/10?

It seems like it's always raining whenever I'm driving around, and specifically racing. Or the roads are at least always wet. I know it seems to take place during one night, but a racing game should have varied times of day and weather. It's more fun to race at dawn, but that only lasts for 30 seconds or so at the end of a race.

The phone calls are driving me nuts, but I know I'm not alone.

It demands too much perfection, though, and I'm starting to get annoyed by some of the later races and annoying gymkhana stuff. It doesn't fit that well in this game.

Yeah, 6 out of 10 seems fair. Seeing the time transition from dawn to midnight (happens instantly!) is jarring. I don't like many of the design decisions - e.g. as I've said prior the black tutorial box appearing in the middle of the screen/race, the constant phone calls etc. Also I've realised you can largely not break and just go around a sharp corner at full speed, and it somehow drifts you around.
