Great racing gameplay but extremely Horrible gameplay mechanics,slow grinding to make any progression and progression locks you out of lower races its like you are being punished for upgrading your car,makes it difficult to earn money ,if you loved nfs heat's gameplay mechanics you would probably hate this game,also i don't like the cartoon characters at all i actualy hate the cartoony character design,the cartoon car effects aren't bad at least you can remove them .the car modifications and modification transitions are a total downgrade compared to nfs heat and payback.
