This is one of the best racing games i have ever played, the best one in the series
Pros:
Awesome graphics
superb gameplay
just an overall excellent game
Cons:
like i said it's a perfect game but if i had to say something it's that if your not careful the game can get a little glicthy, for example if you ram yourself up between two busses the game might get a little jumpy, oh and there is this one glitch that happens every once in a while, a semi will "magically" appear upside down in the middle of a freeway. but these glitches do not affect the game at all and can actually be kind of fun to use against the cops.
the reason i said the time spent playing was 40 to 100 hours is not because the game is hard, no it's because that there is so much fun stuff to do in the game, i suppose that if you just did the races and challenged the blacklist rivals you could burn throught the game in about six hours.
and for the parents if your worried about the "T" rating, you shouldn't i have gone all the way through the game and the only thing i can think of that would even qualify it for that rating is one part where some guy say "im going to kick your @$$" of course he means in racing and not to knock you out.
There you go, Ghosto approves, you are now worthy to buy this game.
