Here is another one that's open world with a different flavor (no guns).  For those who like driving as well as shooting, this could be interesting.

5,000 square miles (larger than Connecticut) with multiple terrain types, weather effects, full night and day cycle, no loading, 75 multi-class vehicle races including checkpoint runs, open-ended long hauls, and circuit courses.  Says "let your wanderlust discover liveries, new cars, secret scenic spots, and racing contests.  Also will have online mp.

I'm still getting excited about this one and I'm not even a huge race game fan per se.  Release date is currently 5/12.  I think value-wise you can get an absolute ton of gameplay from something like this.

Plus, you've got to like the following quote from the link below.  "This is the Far Cry 2 of racers"
