Fun, exciting, annoying, questionable....
It's unfortunatly that NFS has become more of a tuner game than it's routes with exotics and high powered rockets. But at the same time I do like the direction its in now. In fact I like it as much as Forza, which I consider a completly different game. Forza is more like a sim, NFS is more like arcade but with sim like qualities.
The announcer is incredibly annoying. In fact next time I play I'm finding a way to turn off all sounds but the car. Because the music and the speach is nothing but garbage!
The adds are plastered everywhere, but it wouldn't be an EA game if it didn't advertise around every corner. The Progressive Insurance thing sponsoring the repair bills is REALLY lame. Game should be at least $10 cheaper because of this advertising junk. EA is a cash cow already... lets hope they don't start throwin this crud into Mass Effect.
The racing is a hell of a lot of fun, and really exciting... but i miss the cops. Being 'legal' now has its charm, but it just feels like this game has become the perfect blend between PGR4 and FM2.
The big question is why they allow you to buy crud through live. I admit I spent some coin and got my S3 and RX7...but now everything is too easy.
Overall it is still a great game, and I'll play it to the end.
