Quite literally the best modern NFS game out at the moment. The game has an extreme focus on tuner cars, Which is always a good sign in these games.
Its very obvious that the game models itself off of NFS Underground and Carbon, but puts itself in the modern, Mobile phone age, Which was an absolutely genius move and really makes it feel cool, sleek, and modern.
Soundtrack is not bad either, which is something you cannot say about most modern NFS games.
One problem is the game forces you to join a public lobby before allowing you to start your own private one, which is a pain if you're more of an offline player like myself. Sitting through 4 loading screens just to play the game is a tad annoying. The physics can also be questionable at times, but it generally works fine.
The drifting is quite fun and is my favorite part of this game. It is IN NO WAY realistic but its a video game; it does not need to be realistic, just fun (and it is).
Overall, great game, and If you're thinking of picking it up, I recommend buying the Supra or RX7 if you're going to drift, and the Skyline (and later the porshe 911) for tight Forza style racing.
(Speaking of RX7, the game lets you customize the Camshaft, pistons, and block of this ROTARY ENGINE. Not too much of a negative but very funny)
