    There are problems with the game's controls, physics, and artificial intelligence, which often make the process of playing the game more frustrating than fun.

    The game just doesn't gel at all: control is bad, objectives are confusing, and the visuals don't come anywhere near what EA did with the previous DS NFS game.
