    Dissapointing and broken

    I honestly didnt even have to finish this game to know how bad it really is. Ok the game has a couple good things going for it. The cars look ok, it worked with my gamepad(vibration was good and realistic), and the races are sometimes fun. Everything else in this game SUCKS. And im not holding anything back with that statement. The story is horrible, the fmv scenes are just lame, the graphics are horrible to look at, with texture pop in, blinding light, and horrible looking environment, cars, and people.Oh, and the framewrate is horrible as well, and sometimes would impair my driving. Also, the game just isnt that fun to play, and starts to feel repitative after 4 hours or so. I really tried to give this game a chance to bring back some nostalgia from Most Wanted but it rarely did. This game was fun for a little while driving fast cars, but besdies that it really stinks

      I have a history of enjoying Need for Speed games that aren't well regarded by critics and the community. I thought Pro Street was an absolute delight despite its obvious control problems. Undercover is the same. This is pretty solid Need for Speed, often more than what I could ever ask for. Let's say this game feels a little more "stripped down" compared to the others, but the core is still intact.It's a well known fact that any new Need for Speed will deliver. Much like the now defunct Tony Ha...
