The Pursuits are no different from Most Wanted. Really the only feuture I liked was the added gang territories. If you win the races you keep them, and later have to defend them from attacks. The Bonus Cards seemed like an ok idea, but the tasks it gives you to complete them gives me mixed reactions. The online bonuses idea is even worse, as some are very difficult to obtain depending on the player skill level, it makes you wish they just made everything available in single player mode. Overall this game does grow on you, and seems to be just barely enjoyable.
