My first NFS was NFS1. In 1994 i played this on my friends PC. My first own NFS was stunning NFS3 Hot pursuit on my first own PC that was in 1998 and i was 16 years old. Now i bought NFS Heat... Graphics of the cars is very nice, enviroment in night is very nice, enviroment in daylight is poor and they clearly tryed to camouflage it in constant rainy conditions... Inteligence of opponents is even worse in compare to 1998, cops can be nasty on higher level... Im playing the game on difficult level and the game is just annoying easy... the time are different and the games are easier and easier.... almost everything in the game can be destroyed by cars even big chunky trees are like from paper, barieres as well... im disapointed... The game story is embarrasing..... so this game is not trash but definately not great... for EA product for that coins is that rubbish... (i payd 15€ standart price about 60€)
