It's awesome. Unlike any of the other NFS games. I went ahead and got it thinking well I like all the others so Im sure Ill like this one too, but it's better than any previous one imo. It's a racing simulator and they did a pretty damn good job with it. I would compare it to Gran Turismo if you've ever played that. Race tracks are real world tracks. You can fine tune everything, suspension, gear ratio, steering response. You can paint your car, place vinyls anywhere, or choose an already made paint scheme. You can opt to have damage affect the handling or make it just visual. i suggest to start with just visual cause one good encounter with a guard rail and you'll have to turn right or left to go straight. Sounds are on point, turbo screaming, tires squealing, everything. On line gameplay is pretty good. Loading time on career mode and live are pretty extensive, thats like the only negative I can think of. You can go make a sandwich while you wait for the race, ha. I played for like 6 hours straight tonight (yea I have no life, so what). GO BUY IT. And hit me up, Dogshark03
