Ok, I bought this game thinking-" Finally! I'm gonna get a game not so serious(like gran turismo 5 proluge)". I'm not new to the need for speed series, this just was my first for ps3. I put the game in and played around for about two hours until I was SICK! I expected a street racing game with cop chasing action and hot rides but what I got was virtually the same thing as GT5Proluge. You even have to pay for damage and gas! Well the graphics were good and the sensation of speed was nice but thats about it.If you're looking for a game realistic this is the game for you. If not either buy an older version of need fro speed or wait for midnight club LA.

First off I would like to say that this is Need for Speed's first simulation game. But I think that they did a pretty good job. The graphics are pretty good, I'll give graphics a 4.25/5. The gameplay is pretty straight through, but can get a little repetitive until you get to the end. For a legal-racing game i think they did most of what they could do with what they had. It has a large varity of cars including some new cars such as the Pagani Zonda, and the Lamborghini Murcialago LP640. I'll give Gameplay a 4.5/5. This game is a good game for the start of Need for Speed "Legal series."
