 Just what I expected after reading other reviews April 3, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
This is my least favorite of the modern NFS series. From what I understand, the next game out in the series will be going back to their origional roots bringing it back to city driving. The graphics are good and the new machine will help in the future games.
 Ripped off the street... April 1, 2008

Free roam, gone.
First choice for car, gone.
Fine tuning most aspects of the engine, yeah it's gone. Replaced with a few sliders. You don't even get to choose your own name. This game has been stripped of so many of the things that made NFS great. I really hope that this game gets better further in. cus the plot seems pretty stupid so far. (Ooh, he said he doesn't DIG my racing skill...GAY!) Didn't people try to hill you in the underground series?
Great simulator March 24, 2008
This game is a great racing simulator. Not really true to the Need For Speed line -- no cops or no running away, just racing. However, it does the racing fantastically. From optional racing assists to a clutch button (which is very helpful, if not difficult to master), this game is only outdone by Gran Turismo or Forza Motorsport as far as realism is concerned. Amazing graphics!
Not recommended for arcade style players!
 It has consumed my life... February 29, 2008
...which may speak of having too much free time. But whatever. I got this game from a friend who hated it, and traded it immediately. He has know idea what he did. If you are a car guy/girl, you will immediately fall in love with the options this game gives you. Tweaking your SRT-10 Viper to make 1000+ hp is just a car guy's dream, and since it ain't gonna happen in reality, its a blast in virtual land.
Also, the game mechanics and controller input is realistic but the learning curve is not insanely challenging. Seriously, my main gripe with driving games is the cars all handle like crap and I never feel like the games are newbie friendly. NFS:PS is, and makes the transition easy. Your skills build quickly, you feel like you are making progress, and you get cooler and cooler stuff as you go along.
Did I need to buy that Mustang GT-500 that looks like Elenor from Gone in 60 Seconds? No. Did I buy it just to say I own it? Yes. Its that kind of game, one that has a high replay value just to buy that next vehicle, to drop your 1/4 mile drag time under 7 seconds, and to get that level 4 upgrade on nitrous.
I love this game, and I've got the blood-shot eyes from too many late nights to prove it.
Lastly, I have to comment on the soundtrack to this game. Many games pull together their music tracks apparently from the Alt-Rock Dartboard, and continuity is completely gone. Not all tracks have to be the same style, but there has to be an overall theme meshed with the game itself. These guys did their research, and talk about some obscure groups, versions, and remixes, wow. This is one of the best soundtracks I've heard since SSX-3 for the PS2.
 Lame..... February 25, 2008

Very lame game compared with other quality racing games. Don't waste your time. PGR is much more fun as is Forza.
