I think they tried to appeal too much to every type of racer. I enjoy the game now, but only as a weekend racer where I do a couple races and then move on. If you enjoy all the different types of events, I bet this game can keep you busy for a month easily.
Fast paced, better feeling of speed/control than any NFS I had played prior, beautiful graphics, quick load times; Gold times are challenging, which I like; Online was fun, community tolerated my poor driving skills pretty well
Gets old quick; I didn't feel like I was unlocking things fast enough, even though I was getting silver most of the time; Not enough variance in car handling, or even the events; You go so fast, the tracks really didn't feel much different to me
