THIS GAME ROCKS!

This game has me continually coming back for more... I set the difficulty to hard for one simple reason, THIS IS NOT MOST WANTED OR UNDERGROUND! If you are buying this game because you think it'll be the same as it's predecessors... be ready for a shock. Yes, the car handling is different... IT'S MEANT TO BE THAT WAY! I've seen alot of member reviews that say they hate this game because the handling is too difficult, or the graphics suck... OK, first off, the handling is now a little more realistic... lets face it, if you run 90mph towards a wall and then turn, you ARE NOT going to drift the corner nicely! Even in automatic mode, you must learn to brake, e-brake, down and up shift and use your CLUTCH! As for Graphics... well for all you PC people, NFS:C defaults to the bottom of the line graphics settings on start-up! Go to your options menu and CRANK THEM UP!! Granted... this game might not look quite as good as some other racing games out there, but it still looks pretty (expletive deleted) Good! As for gameplay... OK, yeah, the FMV and the UCap stuff can get a little annoying sometimes... but atleast they are TRYING for a story-line this time... and the whole change in difficulty is great... I mean, yes, the NFS games of the past were fun, but lets face it... once you got your car tuned the right way, you could leave all the NPCs in your dust, WAY to easily... now, it's more realistic, more balanced, and more difficult.... suck it up, play the game... it's worth it all the way!
