The Bottom Line:

"Immersive"

Ok so originally i was extremely skeptical about the new need for speed most wanted and how it didn't have the customization options of the old most wanted, but please, before rating the game down, go play the damn thing at least. I can't believe what a group of little kids the need for speed community has become, trying to re-live the old underground and most wanted. This game is great, the multiplier is simply amazing, with free roam online, and the graphics are great as well, possibly the best i have seen in a driving game. Furthermore, while i do think the game should have vehicle look customization, this game still has tremendous performance customization that is accessible at any time.(Yes, in race too) Also the game-play is silky smooth, and for those wanting the old most wanted, you won't be disappointed, it feels exactly like the old most wanted but newly refined. (Honestly, i felt hot pursuit from 2010 felt like burnout paradise, but this game feels like need for speed once again :D) And once you have beaten the great campaign,(took me about 15 hours with a little multiplier action too), the online will blow you away, you can just drive around, break billboards, race friends, have challenges, and set up races and other tournaments, and that is only the beginning.

So in the end, yeah i miss the old days of need for speed, but this games is wickedly sick and i would definitely buy it again, and again and again. The only thing i took a point off for was the lack of visual customization, and the fact that the soundtrack was only decent. BUT SERIOUSLY, IF YOU HAVEN'T EVEN PLAYED IT, DON'T GIVE THE GAME A BAD RATING!!!
