Don't believe the trailer. This game is a big mistake.

They promised an epic story in which you had to drive for your life. You would encounter the most dangerous landscapes and battle through it in order to win an epic race. Wait, epic? Not really.

If you saw the trailer you'll know what I mean. Many people played this game thinking that it would be a 'drive or die' game like the trailer promised, but it's really just silly and mediocre at best. This game is so terrifyingly short and trying so hard to be something it's not, that you sit back after you beat the 'story' in about two hours and probably think to yourself "what the hell did I just play?" I think it's also very probable that you will run to wherever that game case is lying and look if it really says 'need for speed', because really, it doesn't have the same kind of quality.

And what I said before is really true, the story, or race, only takes about two hours to finish. After that, you can play multiplayer or compete in challenges to earn medals and unlock cars etc. but it's just not satisfying and feels like you're wasting your time when you know there are so many greater racing games out there.

If you're a racing fanatic you can get some enjoyment out of this, or if you are an obsessive gamer and NEED to add this to your collection. If you are neither, you might just want to skip this one and run away from it as fast as you can.
