Ive followed NFS since the very first one. This one isone of the worst entries in years. Thats not to say its not decent but definately not the quality I expect from NFS. I play my racing games from the interior view but thats impossible to do in this one because of how the game machanics work. The controlls are too loose.
You have turbo boost in this game but you find out quickly that you wont be using it in staighaways for big gains. Instead you find yourself reserving it for turns. Besause of the loose controls the game functions like this: brake into a turn, power slide and then turbo you way out of it. This is basically the only way you can 90% otherwise you lose control. Not a fun time for me.
