Great game
I love this game. The graphics are great with highly detailed cars and i am still using my standard tv as i don't have my hdtv hooked up yet. The story is pretty good and the cop chases are awesome. Busting through the road blocks and piling up police cars is a really fun aspect to this game. It is fairly challenging overall.
To the 'enth degree my brotha'!
I've been a fan of EA's Need for Speed since the late 80's. I have to say, EA gets better and better every time with Need for Speed games. This edition goes off the rails as in the BEST high end console game I have ever seen or played in a racing series - EVER!
The graphics are gorgeous (my wife thought it was real at first); the gameplay is highly responsive and easy to pick up and play; and the sound effects are right on! The music is not exciting - but in my opinion rap is crap anyway (that's why I gave it 4 stars overall). In addition, this racing game actually has a good story tied in with the action!
The cops are a lot of fun to smash into and try to escape from. Your heart rate will spike in some cases. Cop helicopter, cop corvettes, undercover cops, and regular black and whites are all waiting to try to stop you from being the #1 racer. Are you up for the challenge?
The best racing game...so far.
Need for Speed was quite impressive. The graphics are outstanding on the 360, everything sharp and clear. The best feature I like about was the ability to customize the cars to how you want it too look and perform. Adding nitrous and hearing that turbo blowoff valve when gassing from the cops is spectacular!
Running from the cops is also pretty cool, however as you play through the game, it seems to lose its excitment. Cops also get tougher on you as you become more of a criminal running from them. The game could use more cars in my opinion, though it does have about 30 some cars available to choose from and customize.
One thing I didn't quite like about the game was just how EA tinted the game screen into a "yellowish" color, I don't know their intention in doing so but that made it less appealing and realistic. If the color were to stay true and natural, this game would be unbeatable as a racing launch game. Overall, this game scores a big 4 out of 5 for me...race you to the store and back...?
