Well done Criterion, you have done it again. I have never played any of the Need for Speed series, although in contrast I have always been a fan of the Burnout series. I love Burnout Paradise. There is some similarities to the Burnout titles from this game, however it is still quite a different concept from Burnout Paradise.

Its too early to decide which is the better game. However the online facility for this game has surpassed Burnout Paradise. I love the fact that you can keep track of your friends times on the single player events. Plus the online races are awesome and so much fun, my favourite is the Hot Pursuit races (where players are either cops or outlaw street racers).

The cars in this game are simply gorgeous with the brilliant graphics doing the cars justice.

In my opinion this is a near perfect arcade style racing game. Criterion impress me so much with their innovation in this title and Burnout Paradise. I do not feel that are getting enough credit from the media.

Highly recommended!!!!!
