the best, better than all the new ones like most wanted and carbon by miles
the bad- could get fustrating at times
gameplay
well, its great, you start of choosing your car out of about 5 starting cars like golf gti, mazda mx5 and other great starting cars. the storyline isn't fasinating, but thats a good thing, I mean I hate it on newer ones like carbon how they try to make storylines up but it really doesn't work well with street racing games. once you start wining a few races like, circuits, drags, drifts and stuff you unlock better cars such as the mazda rx7 and nissan skyline. as well as a hell of alot of mods you can get for your car unlike most wanted where you just give your car a body kit, on this one you can change it all from front bumpers to exhaust tips, vinyls, rims, colours, roof scoops, spoilers and tons more. there are alot of different races you can shoose from to try and master that certain race you have to win then your ranking goes up fot that type of race and get your car on the front cover of magazines and unlock new engines, brake kits, nitrous and alot more. The multiplayer is fun to
graphics
the graphica are amazing, the street snene is so kool and the cars look great especialy when you mod them to the max with different pants like gloss, pearlisent and mettalics.
sound
the music tracks are the best tracks I have evr witnessed on a game, well, but if you hate rap, punk and rock youd hate them. they consist of people like lil jon, rob zombie, petey pablo and so on. The sounds the cars made are kinda kool at the start of the game but as you go on the engines sound so amazing, the roaring and skidding about and all that
difficulty
well, at the start of the game its well easy of course but once you get to the end of the 120 races to do they get really hard and could get very fustrating, but it is impossible to get completely stuck on one race unless you got a golf gti and spent all your money to make it look really kool, and didn't upgrade the performance at all, then you got a problem.
time spent playing
well, ive played it a hell of a lot because I love it so much and although there are only 120 races in story, they could last pretty long and it takes ages to complete it but ive been playing it for over 100 hours because Ive completed it so many time cause its the best
overall
the best in series cause countless mods and cars, great music and just a very good story and multiplayer
