After playing the demo for a few days I was ready to shell out the money for this game and I'm very picky! I was still skeptical until I got it home and installed it. Within a few minutes I knew it was money well spent! This game is really fantastic! It been years since I've enjoyed a new game this much. I'm generally not into driving games but this game really takes it to a whole new level.

The game starts with a rather long intro that sets up the story but then it's pretty non-stop action! The "Free-Roam" can be a little confusing at first but once I realized you can return to a "Safe-House" and pick challenges there, everything moved faster. The good thing about Free-Roam is that it gives you a chance to learn the roads which is really critical for winning some challenges and races.

The overall gameplay is excellent! Cars are easy to drive and control, and feel and sound very much like the real deal! The game is very addictive! I found that even after playing for hours I didn't want to stop!

My only real complaint is the Menus. The interface could be better. Moving around it takes more time than it should and can be a little confusing at times. A small price to play for an excellent game!
