The good parts: The game is enormously better than the last need for speed games apart from underground 2, The graphics are good as expected and the handling (if tuned properly) is absolutly amazing. The creativity in the paint shop is by far the best and you will enjoy the scenery of the map.
The bad parts: The customisation is limited, don't be fooled by misleading adverts some cars have little to no body parts and others are loaded. The car selection is limited they have only chosen what a few of the legends but many are missing like the nissan 370z and subaru Impreza. The game is hard to get used to especially if your not familiar with car games. Some could debate this is a good thing but if your like me and want to be at the top of your game so you actually enjoy it, it takes along time. Another bad thing I almost forgot was the story line is horrible, typical need for speed.
Overall: it's a good game if your into street cars and drifting around dum arse cop cars then this is the game for you. If the price is goes down or you get offered it for free I definitely recommend playing it.
