don't believe the 'bad hype' guys...if you try this game hoping it'll be an dirt of nfs, forget about it. it's an old school game...it may not be as good as the original, but it still pack some fun for a good time

anyway, i agree with some opinions, regarding the casual x hardcore gamers today. now it's clear that the game companies need to look for whom they're making the games doing either the 'casual easy' or the 'hardcore hard' modes

i don't think at all that games today are easier. a lot of good ol' classics from the 90's were rather tricky than hard. the point is, it wasn't that easy to defeat a tricky boss either finding the 'right trick' or doing the hit and run strategy because you had the choices. or to jump across a tricky obstacle by waiting and thinking about a 101% accurate jump or to try and try and try until you got it right. a good example in my humble opinion is f.e.a.r 1 and condemned 1. it wasn't easy nor super hard, but some fight sequences in the first time may look like hard as ****, but then playing and thinking about what you could do in the game you find some strategies to beat the fight without getting much damage.
