N4S Rivals / SF Lex Review

User Rating: 7 | Need for Speed: Rivals PC

This game reminds me of the exciting times of N4S Hot Pursuit II from back in my PS2 days. It was an exciting time for racing, and this has brought me back to those times, great game. I find myself very addicted, but i do have some dislikes. This is probably as good as it gets as far as racing releases at the moment. I have been searching for a perfect racing game, and have yet to find one. Racing is great, modes are good, but ..

Dislikes:

Ok, why in the world do i have to be connected at all times ? I would like to free play and try out the cars that are locked. Why is this option not available ?

Another issue is while racing and getting loads of points, why does it not allow me to pause it, so that i can go to the menu and pin point a safe place to go and get on base to cash out my points for $$. It is impossible to be chased by helipcopters and cops, and still find a way to hit the GPS and look for a safe zone. Freakin stupid, maybe they should have allowed a second player to get the second controller and use the D-Pad to take me there.

Where is the modifications ? I like to add tires, and body are, and spoilers and all. When the heck are they going to make a N4S that has these options ?

And last but not least, Where the heck are the Muslce cars ? WTF ? I even went online and purchased a $5 dollar pack for muscle cars, somehow they are not added on ?

Seriously, they could have improved so much.
