I was able to get a copy of the game from Blockbuster the other day and I have to say that I am kind of disappointed with it.
Visually it is stunning and the surround sound is great. A couple of complaints I have with the game is that they changed the controls from NFSMW. I was used to steering with the left stick and using the right stick for the gas. NFSMW uses the triggers for the gas/brake. After playing for a couple hours my hands would cramp up because of the constant position they have to be in.
Some people were claiming that the police chases added to the fun of the game. Honestly they are annoying. When you have to drive from one side of the map to the other you dont want to be hasseled trying to lose the cops. The pursuit breakers are very redundant. The free drive mode is cool but sometimes you just want to get into the individual races and not bother with all the nonsense.
The upgrades to the cars are boring and the game just seems like a rip-off to the underground series. I liked NFSU2 a lot....this game is graphically better but again it seems that EA rushed another title for the 360. Every single EA game for the 360 has been a disappointment IMO except for FNR3....glad I rented this game 1st and didnt waste my money.
