To the other guy who reviewed this and can't be bothered to read: You unlock the BMW by progressing the Speed Pass. The base model is unlocked at level 30 and you don't actually need the premium track for it.

As for review the Premium Pass itself, I was hoping for an older car but I do dig the Mustang Dark Horse. I'm not very keen on wagons but the M3 does have it's fans so I'm sure other people will love it, at least I'll make sure to use the extra body area for making liveries. Customization for both cars is top-notch as always.
The new projections are awesome but still have the caveat from the previous pass, it being that you can't tint them. I understand it for these as they are animated and are themed after Underground but man do I wish I could tint the projections from Vol. 6 to my heart's content and pull off some sick color combos.
The new animated plates are also a very welcome addition, I'm honestly surprised we didn't get them earlier.
The new driving effects are cool-looking but I can't help but wish for more stylized effects in the same vein of those we got on release, or at least an option to tint older ones as we please and add graffiti emotes to them as all the ones from Vol. 6 and beyond lack them.

Outside of the pass, the new update is amazing. The drag mode and the new drift tires are lots of fun. It's actually incredible how much you can break the drift zone scores with them, the new dedicated game mode is awesome too and I do hope they add some playlists with collisions turned on.

Can't wait for what's in store for Volume 8. Oh and Criterion, please give the photo mode the love it deserves.

I wish special attacks weren't bound to holding down buttons but other than that it's awesome.

The trinkets you can get from the premium track are cool but the Infinity series items alongside the projections take the crown. You also get the G.O.A.T. of this game (Rydell) as a playable character so that's nice, though it won't mean much if you don't care about the game's story mode.
The RS6 is probably what most will buy this for and its Legendary Customs kit will be a hit or miss depending on what you like when it comes to cars. I liked it since I'm into crazy stuff and the Group B motif is a nice callback, but I wish we had more parts for the car overall.
Not related to the premium track as they are free, but the R8 and the S5 return from the previous games and the R8 in particular is very nice to see again. However, the premium track provides a homage kit based on Darius' R8 from Carbon and the S5 also gets its own original kit, but again check it beforehand to see if it's up your alley. In short, this is pretty much a must if you are big into Audi, but I do wish we had gotten the 2013 R8 as well which was already in Rivals.
I was afraid they were going to give up on Unbound but I'm happy to see them trying to turn the tide. I won't mind if all it takes is a battle pass every few months if it means we'll get more features and content in the game, this way they can focus on the next NFS with no worry to rush knowing this will still be an active game while also providing them feedback on what people want to see when it comes to the franchise.
As an addendum, Criterion, PLEASE overhaul the photo mode. People have to resort to external tools to make cool shots and even then it's not as practical as it should, so please do the photography community a solid and make it up to standard. DIRT 5's photo mode was very nice, even allowing for the placement of custom lights, so having that as a starting point would be nice since EA also published it.

I want to kiss this game on the lips

It's very simple, but also very lovely and well-crafted.
The designs for the world and the characters, despite there not being that many, are eye-catching. The gameplay's not complex at all but given the runtime that's not really a problem, very easy to recommend to a younger crowd.
My only complaint is that it's way too short, though I completely understand it's meant to be just a student project, one released for free nonetheless.
They should expand on this if possible but even as a one-off title it's really neat. Definitely give it a try if you got 15 minutes to spare.
If you liked this and are looking for another Korean title developed by students I also recommend "TheDawn" which is also short but just as fun.

Dark Souls: Prepare to Diecast

team fortress 2 for broke people

Played the hell out of this on a cracked copy when I was younger. 3 is better because of the wing suit but this one's plenty of fun as well.

no other party game is as heat as this

This walked so Fortnite could run.
