Is this single player as well as multiplayer? I mean is the career mode sinle player?

The story is a little misleading as the game has been on PC since July. I realize it was Early Access (and still is), but the game is available on PC.

If the game is really good, I can see it being one of the biggest surprises of the year.

For $15 I'll probably give it a shot.

I picked this up for 6 pounds off the U.K. store. It's a fun little game and a nice change of pace from the Sim racers. Looks decent as well. Once you get used to looking down at the cars it's fun. Took me about 2 laps to get the feel of it down.

This looks really cool, and its from the developers of Split Second...but I'm not sure about that camera angle tbh.
