Firstly the game starts of pretty sweet with a nice sort of opener that gets u ready and amped to play, then it throws u right into a car in the middle of a cop chase. Yeah not bad but ones the dust settles, a quick g'day and such from some shelia and your on the streets looking for races.

Gameplay: Races start out the same as NFS:C with a quick burnout and such into your starting position and away you go. Firstly This game is not as smooth as it should be, it can get crapply jumpy when too much action is going down which can be a bit of a problem when your trying to navigate tight turns through small allies and such. The map is slow to bring up i.e. you have to circumnavigate the menus.

A couple new modes chucked into the mix, like the highway battle which means you have to get 300m in front of your opponent, which is pretty fun.
Like every NFS game, the opponents are un-movable when being nudged and they can simply spin you on your side and pin you on the wall for a good minute or two....well enough time for there to be no chance in winning.

NOW, here is good ol' EA at work trying to make a quick buck along the way. Upgrading your car requires money, right, which u get from winning races. lets say u didn't want to win races or you just wanted the beefest car at the start. Why not spend Microsoft Points on car parts instead?? Fucking rediculous

All in all, i wouldn't recommend it (at the Moment) but i'll soldier on and see what the rest of the game offers as we dive into some sweeter rides

6/10

the NFS games have been uninteresting since they went "Fast and Furious". it is a real shame, as i thought they had a good concept going with the first few games of the series.

imo the nfs underground side of things had its own appeal. its just a shame they shafted the classic style for it. yes it does have a big audience [not so much here] but need for speed should be all ferraris and shit the way it used to be. i would like to see the underground style again however under a completely seperate title. NOT need for speed. Maybe need for homo neons or something :p
