Not a great deal as it's been available for £9.99 previously. Still a very good price though.
As for whether it's good or not depends entirely on your preference.
If you're expecting a semi-realistic Colin Mcrae style game, prepare to be dissapointed.
If you're expecting an old-skool arcade-style rally game where "practice makes perfect" and you're happy to keep racing the same tracks to improve your best times, GET IT NOW !
I agree, not for the purists and its quite hard to progress if you aren't a serious racer. Fans of the previous versions will love it and if you don't like the AI of the other cars then take it online and race against other people (and still get beat

). I have it and for this price its a great addition to your collection. Everyone should have at least one racer in their collection even if they don't like them! This is one of those games you can pick up and play in short bursts then go back to something more serious like Oblivion!
