Even though the wingman mechanics and canyon races don't quite pan out, it's still a stylish and enjoyable street racer.

The SIXAXIS controller is used well, adding a new element to the driving physics.

An overall fun racing game, though in large part it's simply more of the same from EA. Cars still feel too similar to each other, and as they're the stars of any racing game, we wish there was a bit more character here. Autosculpt is a fantastic addition
