Tune them up, get the latest body-kit etc. The cars are pretty boring in that whatever you do to them is pretty irrelevant. Sure, there are a few other things, such as the cops and well.that's about it really. But when I loaded this up and got through the tiresomely dull opening scenes I found almost a carbon copy of NFSU2. You'd think that, with this being the fourth or more installment of the franchise, they'd actually have made some improvements in gameplay. The Good: Great soundtrack Looks great Police evasion is a lot of fun The Bad: Still just a Need For Speed game at its core I feel chavvy just playing it But we'll always have this wonderful little gem. Truth be told there hasn't been another Need For Speed game I've enjoyed since, not even the reboot of this very title from 2012. So racing around this impressive city, with those tracks blasting and the adrenaline of evading the army of police cars behind me while at the same time dodging sets of spikes tossed across my path?! Great stuff. These types of games usually have nothing but moronic dance 'Music' sided with rap but here there was lots of rock/metal including Bullet For My Valentine and Static X. Generic racing is a plenty sure, but it looked good for its time and had a killer soundtrack.

Fine, put aside the street racing 'Isn't it cool to be a criminal' childishness and all the customization (Which actually I enjoyed to an extent) and you've got the police evasion addition and I really quite liked it. I ended up getting Most Wanted and I don't even remember quite why and being frankly blown away.

For this reason I've never liked the Need for Speed games, to me they're just chavvy generic games where wannabe racer boys can customize their car to look as trashy as possible complete with ridiculous spoiler. Racing games aren't really my thing, unless they fall under the gimmicky umbrella such as Mario Kart or other battle style car games.
