 Well, what a waste February 28, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I got it for my birthday last november (07) and at first I found it o.k.
i completed the first raceday, but, after that it got worse and worse. The loading screen does get rather annoying after a while and the racing itself isn't that sparkling either.
Final point, the actual career progression as well is too slow, unless u have lots of time. Personally i got to the first main tournament and it took me a week to finish that (battle machine).
in short, get the first 3 NFS and complete them before trying this 1.
 Don't bother to buy this game February 20, 2008

Having played NFSU2, I believed this later version to be just as good if not better. How wrong I was. The realism of the vehicles is appalling, the general interface is appalling, the whole game is downright appalling. There are very few games I would recommend less.
This is by far the WORST driving game I have ever played.
I grew up playing GT2, rocked out of my face at uni, the game that all future driving games are benchmarked against and this games is MOST DEFINITELY A STEP BACKWARDS. It is so fing awful I regret departing money to play it. DO NOT BUY THIS GAME.
Just does NOT deserve the Need For Speed title it has! February 17, 2008

Having played NFS Carbon to the end, I bought this game looking forward to more of the same (but obviously with different tracks, cars, etc). However, EA have decided, for some weird reason, to take NFS off the street and onto boring, repetitive race courses, totally defeating the original point of the game. The fact that you have to have different cars for each race is very annoying and EA should have just stuck to the any car for any race sort of theme in all the other NFS games. Obviously, due to the fact that the races are now held on courses, there are no police, which was one of the things that made the other games so good. The saddest thing about this game is that the game play is not actually that bad and can be quite enjoyable, but it is definately not what you expect from a NFS game. I just hope that the next NFS game goes back to something more like NFS Carbon.
 A surprisingly fun change from the same Need for Speed Spec.. January 22, 2008

Its much much different from the past NFS games in terms of the style of racing. You play as a racer who has progressed from the street racing and police dodging like in the past 2 NFS games and is now racing on the pro circuits to beat the kings of the pro racers.
The game does seem much easier like being able to regularly beat racers by 30 seconds a Race or 10 seconds a Drag although the drift has taken a turn for the worse loved it before hate it now was stupidly hard to score big points or even win sometimes.
One thing i was really disappointed with was not being able to design and customise my car as much as you could in previous NFS game. You just dont have as much cool vinyl or body parts to choose from and was a long labouring process to make your car look cool. (If that is even possible in this game)
Loved the fact that you'll need more one car for every type of racing event and the way you tune your car is much more in-depth and in a way was necessary if you want to win big time.
OVERALL loved the game was a cool change but was strictly racing no more fun sidelines like making your car look truly awesome or escaping police so has a shorter life span. From what i hear and read its much better on PS3 as well. But is still a much own game would recommend for beginners as well as pros.
 what the hell!!! January 4, 2008
