@devil240z: Took a few hours to warm up to it, as the starting cars don't really make a great first impression. At first it felt pretty bland.
But I bought a Mustang after an hour or so, tuned it to play how I wanted, and now I'm really having a great time. It's not as chaotic as Rivals (with the cops and risk/reward stuff) but the core driving feels pretty good. Once I installed some nitrous, everything started to click.
It runs well on PS4, the design of getting to events is snappy, and I've had no negative experiences due to the always-online thing. The FMV is kind of inconsequential but I'm growing to actually get to know these dumb characters.
Again, though, your first car will probably make a bad first impression. And I'll continue to miss the Hot Pursuit vs. mode, where I spent dozens of hours.
Probably late for a reply and Jeff's two-star review may have swayed you, but I wanted to give it an honest shot before giving an opinion here. Overall, I'm enjoying the game now and will spend a good portion of my upcoming vacation with it. But it's not the best game in the series or anything.
