The game is getting horrible ratings. It is not all that different from the console brother. Read for honest view.

Ok well i believe that this game is much better than what it has been recieving. Only big thin ghta thas been removed is the free roaming which IMO isn't fun to do. I just want to get into the race and go. The free roaming just makes a waste of time. For the bad now. The controls were poorly done. EA could have made the controls so much better. To give you a feel the x button is accelerate and the o button is turbo. I dislike this because i have to hold both down to us nos which imo isn't the best placement for it. The analog is rendered useless just somethnig feels wrong. It does'nt feel like you have precise handling of where you are going with the analog and the dpad is much better becuase the up and down buttons are useful. The up button puts the camera in cahse mdoe so you can more easily see the police behind you and the down button does the slo mo which is useful when used right to make turns.
Gameplay: Besides the controls it is addicting and fun to play. The police are the only thing that really annoys me but it was the same in the console versions.
Graphics: Really good graphics looks about identical to the ps2 counterpart.
Sound: NFS has always sounded good and this is no exception.
Value: Well it doesn't ahve too much replay and online is not too much fun. The game does take a while to finish though.
