Advantages: great attention to dretail, very fast paced exiting game

Disadvantages: none

From the second you pull away from the starting line, you see the world blur past your eyes and know, this is another nitrous injected wheel screeching instalment of the need for speed series.

This is truly an amazing game in all senses. It has sleek and detailed graphics that really do give you that sensation of speed that EA are famous for in this series. Every twist and bend you take, you will notice the highest level of detail whether it's the reflections of street lights across the puddle scattered roads after rain or the glair of oncoming traffic as the sun reflects of their bonnets this is truly a visually stunning game.

This game sounds great to as specially if played through a surround system. E.A have managed to define the unique engine sounds of the cars. Whether it's the deep rumble of the doge viper's 8ltr v10, or the powerful whirring of the RX7's twin turbo rotary. This game captures every last detail from dump valves to the sound of your tires being left behind on the tarmac.

In this game there are three game modes.

CAREAR MODE: In this mode you will your aim is to work your way up the black list. The black list consists of 15 of the city police's most wanted, Warning its not going to be easy. As to race these drivers first you have to gain their interest as a formidable opponent. Each of the black lists will have a set number and races milestones stones to be completed before they will entertain the idea of taking things to the street with you. A mile stone is a set challenge such as clock 140mph on a speed camera or out pursuit the law whilst causing $500000 worth of damage to the city ect. Also in order to race the black list and rise up to the most wanted pole position you will need to rack up a high bounty on your head.

The bounty this is where things get fun in order to increase your bounty you need to stay on the wrong side of the law at all time, and engage in as many police pursuits as possible. Grab a parole cars attention by either destroying public property, driving at unspeakable speeds or just plain and simply ram your car into the side of one. Then the chase begins but be warned the longer it goes on the more back up he will radio for. When feel you've had all you law can handle try to leave them behind or hide in one of the cities many hiding spots. There are also pursuit breakers dotted around the city these are objects like walls giant dohnuts and water towers that will crash their way onto parole car following as you pass under them.


QUICK RACE MODE: Simply customise your event to suit you and race the CPU or a friend. Enough said I think

CHALLENGE SERIES: Here your set out a list of challenges where your vehicle is pre determined at the beginning of each challenge. These are very similar to the milestone events. Complete them all and tier may be some kind of bonus but haven't reached that point yet.

All in all this is a great and highly addictive game plenty of cars to choose from a pug 206, rx7, impeza, evo's, vipers, ford gt and many more. You can mod them from a huge list of rims, colours, body kits, and get them engines humming just the way you like with the performance mods. If you've ever played any of the need for speed series you know what to expect handling wise. I would say take the accuracy of grantorismo and the all out adrenalin of burnout 3 and aim somewhere in between.

Thank you for reading hope I have been of help.
