Game Overview

The speester in EA's successful series combines the tuner customization of Need for Speed Underground with an expanded take on the police chases of the Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit series.

The Good

Outrunning the cops is extremely exciting, Outstanding sound effects, Sharp graphics, Tones down some of the over-the-top product placement found in the previous NFS games, Mindblowing full-motion video cutscenes.

The Bad

Racer AI isn't too bright at first, gets wicked smart later on, Not enough mindblowing full-motion video cutscenes.

The Bottom Line

The new speedster in EA's successful series combines the tuner customization of Need for Speed Underground with an expanded take on the police chases of the Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit series. The game will feature a Rap Sheet option that works hand in hand with a player's street reputation as they move up from the "Black List" to the A-List. Users will also be able to go head-to-head with their opponents while simultaneously trying to avoid more than six different police cars at once through a dynamically changing open-ended world. Get your car peaked for outrunning the cops by customizing your muscle cars, supercars, tuners, and sports cars.

The actual racing hasn't changed too much, but the ever-present police make this game a whole lot more interesting.

The story mode has really nice hooks in it that will keep players wanting to keep playing until they know what happens in the end.

The game holds at a solid 30 FPS on all systems, and while the sense of speed isn't as palpable in the first hour or so of play, just wait. Win a few cars, upgrade them, and before you know it, you'll be smoking.
