Music - sucks. Not everyone likes rap, hip hop,... Get more diverse music. Modern doesn't mean likes.
Gameplay - ok. The cars are out of control. Don't start a driving game with nothing but rear wheel drive cars... It takes forever to get used to. And when you switch it up... Forget about it.
Mechanics - seriously, I couldn't get far enough in the game to upgrade anything worthwhile. Very confusing at the start. I don't care how good my car looks if I can't win races.
Visuals - great. Enjoyed the overall look of the game. Courses were clear, defined, and atheistically pleasing.
Customization - bad. Character customization... Who designed this???? Horrid. All around. Nothing good in outfits.
Learn from the originals. .. underground 1 and 2... Or carbon (best). Get it right. You're not The Fast and the Furious.
