Thanks to the NFS people for bringing back the 5-0
The gameplay is pretty awesome as well. You'll have to do your share of races to be able to take on the blacklist each time which can get to be either really entertaining, or really annoying, depending on how quickly you want to move through the game. I noticed that when I played it the AI from the blacklist racers improves rather quickly, and that running a near flawless race is the only way to victory. You could look at that two different ways. One - that will really piss you off because you might get stuck in a few places that you don't think you should. Or two, you can actually appreciate that that is pretty realistic. If you really did have to race these people in real life you would have to run that kind of a race to win. You are proving how good you are, and to do that, you have to prove how good you really are...which sucks sometimes because dammit sometimes you just wanna beat the guy and move the hell on!
All in all this is a great game. If you are a racing fan, or a need for speed fan then you will really love this game just for the simple fact that getting away from the cops is quite a task sometimes that is highly enjoyable.
