I usually only log into metacritic for feedback on games that I love. Exception this time. I can't stand this game. Rivals was a good game, cars felt reasonable for an arcade racer, nice variety of scenery, decent AI, no forced online.

Never recieved the item and never heard back from multiple emails i sent. Shocking experience

Can't get the kids off the xbox now ... they love this game. The graphics are excellent and the mapping is a good fun way to make more of a 'journey' out of the game instead of just randomly driving round race courses.

Went wrong somewhere along the line. The original idea might have promise, but in practice it has failed. Threatens to be interesting sometimes, but rarely.

If the game gets patched up into a more functional state, there are things about this Need for Speed that make it a decent time, for a little while. The handling, specifically, is highly adjustable without bashing you over the head with a ton of fiddly little options.

The game could have been better. There should be no reason a cop should be able to keep up with a 1000hp car. Plus, it should've allow online gameplay with a cruise, rather than just focusing racing the whole time. Story mode, was also a little to short.

The Need for Speed series has struggled to find an identity for years, despite takes by numerous developers. Between the forgotten titles, we've had the Fast and the Furious-inspired Underground, the cops vs racers of Hot Pursuit (twice), the straight-faced track racer Shift and the open-world...

Appearance customisation options are good; Looks incredible...

...but turns and dangers are hard to pick out; Car rotation is poor; Events are rarely fun; Story scenes and phone calls are horrendous

I wasnt planning to get it but decider to, was much better than I thought it would be, I would recommend it to my friends.

Great driving controls with some hilarious FMV. Very enjoyable.

Once again another fantastic Need For Speed game!
