    Despite the negative criticism I picked up Lair because I had been looking forward to it. I am so glad I followed what I myself knew I would like over what these reviews are telling me to think. Lair's controls are s... Read Full Review

    Clocking in at approximately 40+ hours to complete fully, Need for Speed Underground Rivals is a behemoth of a hand-held title. Many hand-held titles are no where near as fully featured and chock full of gameplay as NFS... Read Full Review

    It's a shame that this will be EA's last liscensed hardball title for a while.
