Let me start out with something i didn't see in the other reviews, especially with ones that review the demo, this isn't a windows os release, check out the full product dood... anyway, in the world of CARBON... there is no.... sun, thats right, completely night time, it doesn't even get a chance to really show off some of the reflection mapping they've touched up. I did expect some better textures by now, also a graphics engine that can handle motion blur without dropping fps. I ran both the x360 version and the pc version on two identical monitors two inches away from each other, they both have there quirks, but the framerate is way more steady on the x360... i don't have a crap system by any means, 7800gtx, 2gb corsair 2-2-2-5, raptor raid array, fx-55, latest drivers , and motion blur makes you seem like your going fast, which is good when your fps drops by 10, even 20 with other racers on screen... besides the technical reasons. the nighttime thing will probably get on your nerves if you notice it, so i'm sorry for mentioning it, some parts of the game are even confusing sometimes, like... how do i buy a car, oh wait, you don't, or even the first time you know, you try to buy something it's like... how do i buy these parts... so the menu system isn't the greatest by any means, the races are fun, the wingman idea could have used some touching up, the AI can drag you down real bad sometimes, problem is, he's on your team... it's not a horrible game, and it's definitely not an amazement in any way, however it's not a Terrible buy, if your a fan of the series and want something different, don't be afraid, get the momo wheel and waste precious hours of your life
UPDATE!!
i actually played through the whole game, don't waste your life, it should have been an expansion pack at best, ouch
From the first Need for Speed, gamers were seduced by the idea of driving exotic cars at high speeds without dealing with the speed limits of real roads. Over the years, the concept hasn't changed much. The third install... Read Full Review
Since I'm a huge fan of the NFS Series, I went out and got this on day 1. This game is a total disappointment, first things first... the graphics are great and all, but what the heck happened to the realism? The cars tur... Read Full Review
