EA and DICE really did a great job with this game, as it's easily one of the best of the Need for Speed series. The great physics due to the Frostbite game engine (used in Battlefield 3) make the games' visuals absolutely breathtaking. The storyline and execution of this storyline is absolutely amazing. I would definitely recommend this game to anyone.

I can't complain, as this game costed me $5 as a Deal of the Day. I probably wouldn't have bought it if I had to pay full price. Car customizing is very limited, the story is linear and there is simply not much to it. It is fun for a while, though.

This game is really tough, and I fancy myself a racing gamer. It's not to bad if you play it on easy. Lastly having the Frostbite 2 engine from Battlefield 3 makes this game great.

Not Worth the Price

I bought the run on ebay for $40. I own Need for Speed Hot Pursuit for X360 and that game is so much better. The run is a completly different game. The graphics are just okay. I feel like they could not get it right. They try to make the cars "realistic" in handling but the gameplay is very arcade. It takes a while to get used to the game. I would say save your $60 if you really want it go on ebay or wait for the price to drop which wont be long if you really want it. Take those 60 and buy NEED for SPEED HOT PURSUIT.

Great graphics, sound effects and score. The driving is intense and the use of the "rewind" feature is helpful for casual gamers like myself. Nice to pick up and go but, parents of young ones shuold look out for some language and violence.

My kids and I love the challenge of the game, plus the many extra challenges. It can be hard to put down the controller to share.

I have only set the game up on my system and checked out the options, but so far, so great! Picked this up as a DOD and at $4.99 what can be wrong with that?
