After playing Need for Speed Underground 2 I decided to try out this game. The thing I liked the most was the better selection of cars that it has. You can race Porsche's, BMW's Corvettes and Mercedes, Underground 2 only had a bunch of wimpy cars that have less power than my motorcycle. I wasn't very impressed with the graphics though, eveything seem to look brown and dull in color. The game is also very demanding on your hardware, I have a Pentium 4 3.4ghz with 2 gb of ram and a ATI 850xt graphics card and the game barley runs on it. I have to set the grahics at about 50% of the max setting and it still runs slow at times.
Update: I had this game for 2 years now and I still can't finish it. I don't know why they make the ending so difficult. The last few races and pursuits take hundreds of trys before you can win. If you enjoy running the same race every day for months or you want a game that you can play for 10 years and never finish try this one out. It's totally rediculous and just irritates me. I wish I could just get to the end of the game so I can throw it away and finally never play it again.
