    This is a solid racing game that has evolved the need for speed series and just tightened and improved upon many of the things that were left unfurnished in the last game.

    This is one of the best Need for Speed Games out. The story is realistic, and it tightened loose ends from the previous game, such as the autosculpt feature. The online play is set up good, and the amount of cars for the PC version is great. 10/10.… Full Review »

    Por seguro, el peor juego de la franquicia. La AI es espantosamente mala, tanto en los corredores aliados como en los rivales; la historia es corta y aburrida; hay una selección bastante corta de autos, y para colmo la cantidad de carreras a disposición es mucho menor que en otros juegos.… Full Review »

    This game is better than Most Wanted, but it has other big problems. The controlling is a bit better, but it's not good enough. The races are more exciting. In sprint or circuit there are 6 opposite racers (plus the ally). The negative in that part is that the AI is cheating again especially the ally racer. Mainly it's 95% chance that your ally win the race, if it's a pathfinder (eg. SAL). The cops are more brutal than in Most Wanted, and that things not so helpful which are marked with triangles in the map. The story is really short but it's not too boring (as in Most Wanted or Underground). The selection of cars is little, really little. In the start you can only select from 3 cars. Then you haven't got enough money to buy a new (because you have to tuning your first car to win races with more money), except if you complete a race more then once. And yeah, there are not many races. In one territory, there are only 3 races. And how many territories are in the game? About 20. But in the first 5 territory, you can win those races in about 0.5 hour. In U1, U2 or MW the musics are great, the best part of the game. And now? Where are those metal and rock songs, huh? In this game, the musics are not the best part of the game, maybe the graphics are. Maybe.… Full Review »
