If you loved NFS MW, then you might like this game, but you might not. Too easy to beat, compared to Most Wanted...

Personally, I am going to say first, that I loved NFS Most Wanted, and was expecting this game to be awesome. The things I didn't know were that it is a sequel to Most Wanted (not a great sequel at that), and that the mechanics of the game just seem to lack. You seem to lose control/crash, a bit too much... Also, I got really bored with the campaign.
So, as you progress in the Campaign, when you drive against the territory leaders (in canyon or not), you start to notice that the actors for the characters are really bad. If you hit a wall (sometimes even barely), or pass them, or stay behind them, or do nothing they will react (with their faces on a little screen in the corner). Sometimes, they (like Angie for example) will pop up on the little screen like they are going to react, and they just stare ahead with a blank stare, and It (the little screen) vanishes. Watch this video for example, and you'll see what I mean ...

But the game can be fun for a little while (in story mode), or if your just looking to race a friend (online or split screen). Overall I think this game is worth getting if its cheaper than 10 bucks.

    This game is very similar to the last installment Need for Speed:Most wanted. This game however does add some exciting new mechanics to truly make it a great game. Controls: Umm... Basic driving mechanics. R2 is your... Read Full Review
