♥♥♥♥ game wont launch

not as that bad people said, the effect on car it is indeed too exaggerated, but for overall gameplay, mechanics, cars. theres no arguing that its good enough. especially the graphics is awesome too

Long time fan of NFS games. Was turned off from this game by the reviews. The reviewers are people and most people are dumb. The game is a racing game, with progression- yes you need to drive a slow car for a few hours before unlocking cooler better cars. OMG, the game is hard, I guess? The police are decently challenging, the races are challenging, and the calendar and qualifier system is actually a pretty good way to link the story progression to the races. The racing dynamics are good, yes it's acrade-y but FFS it's a NFS title WTF do you want?

There is some political commentary in the game, the politicians are satire and thinly veiled. I think they were trying to have an inspirational message, I liked the inclusion of A$AP Rocky and even his dialog, which is a little cheesy, and he even says that, but I think it adds to the game in a unique way.

Online is fairly active, I do wish there were AI drivers to fill in though.

It's usually on sale, just grab it. I finished the story in about 40 hours, that's like 10 cents an hour or some ♥♥♥♥.
