not anything like need for speed is supposed to be
PostedJuly 13, 2009
i dont like this game at all.. the first thing i didnt like about it was that theres no free run... thats wat need for speed is all about... you cant really tune up your car that good... you cant get chased by the cops... so is it need for speed... in my oppinion this is not even close to a need for speed game.. only worth about 5 cents if you ask me.. there are not but like 5 good cars in the game.. and the tracks suck... you can total your self... why??? if you ask me all copies of this game should be burned... i dont hate it i just dont like it... so if you decide to buy this game please dont get most wanted or carbon.. or at least underground 2.. so please stay away from this game now i need to fill up the extra room on this review.....

Not the traditional Need For Speed
PostedMay 5, 2009
This game has gotten poor reviews and I think that's because everyone expected a massive and gorgeous fictional city with a Fast and Furious type storyline and COPS like Need For Speed Most Wanted and Need For Speed CARBON. This game has none of that almost the complete opposite. Real world race tracks with no city, no real storyline and legal racing events which means no cops. This game isn't that bad if you give it a chance. The career isn't the most exciting but provides some excellently customized real world courses. This might be the first game I've played that featured Willow Springs Raceway, Portland International Raceway and Texas World Speedway. All the tracks are nicely decorated with banners and giant baloons for the sanctioning body for that event. The car customization is not very good though. It is confusing and at the end of a chapter you can't use your cars from the previous chapter. I am not a fan of the driving controls either because you are stuck using the analog stick which I HATE to steer with in any racing game. One of the best things about the game is the number of cars that are available to use. There is a wide variety of cars like in Need For Speed Carbon with muscle cars, exotic sports cars and street tuners. This game's best feature though is the arcade. You don't even need to play career at all to drive the fastest cars and race on every track. This game is good but first before playing you need to except the fact that this game isn't like it's predecessors at all. In fact it isn't like any Need For Speed ever before it.

best game
PostedMarch 7, 2009
WHY DO PEOPLE HATE THIS GAME!only because it does have cops doest mean its not going to be good.this game is so realistic that you get tolted once in a while/not like nfs carbon,nfs most wanted,and the rest of all the need for speed games. i recommend this game to who ever likes gran turismo and all the other racing games.this game has a lot of cars,great graphics,perfect sound,and its very long/well for me.you also get to face kings such like the speed king,drift king,grip king,drag king,and the hardest the showdown king.this game customization is off the chain.you could do everything with your car if you customize it.but there is one problem with this game it does not have all the cars from need for speed carbon or need for speed most wanted.so thats what i think of this game.

A Good Game, but there is no damage
PostedMay 18, 2008
This is a good game, and has a pretty good story line. It has a variety of cars, and has a lot of customizable parts of the car. Especially in this one, just like Need for Speed Carbon, there is Autosculpt, which is a feature I enjoyed very much. The game itself is a bit challenging, but as you progress through the game, it becomes easier to win if you save up enough money to spend on a good car. I have all the Need For Speeds, and I was looking for something new, and something graphically better than the other Need For Speed's. The one thing that I was expecting in this game was not there. Apparently the real damage effects are only available for the PS3 and Xbox 360. I was really looking for this in the game, but it wasn't there. The only things you can visually see are the cracked windows, steaming engine, and scratched paint. Even if you can't see much damage, you still have to pay for heavy, light, and medium damage. It makes the game a little unrealistic. I mean, I have flipped over, and landed on my tires without the cab touching the ground, but I still totaled my car, and it looked like it just came out of the factory. If you are looking for the next Need for Speed, I think that this is a pretty good game and recommend it, except for the fact that there is no damage. If you want that damage, get it for the Xbox 360 or PS3. Otherwise, very good Need for Speed game
