OK i started out with a clear positive attitude for this game. I mean it's need for speed it has to be good, right. NO! I liked underground 2 with some of the best free roam capabilities for a racing game. Differing shops for differing needs. this one one stop shops and less customization than nfsu2. While your racing the cars paint scratches off! WTF? either you get damage or you don't. no lost paint! The cop chases suck! you either lose them way too easy or you are busted no matter how good you drive. bad game for me. you might like it, if you like underground games you won't.
