onto the gameplay. the 240sx was horrible, enough said. however even being super slow and having terrible handling, i was still wasting lambo's and the like by 15 seconds every race. next car was the r32, big mistake. drove it once and it was worse than the 240. next was the tt. that was the first good car and during my races with it i actually enjoyed the game a bit, despite being bored and winning by 20 seconds every time. then i had the lambo lp560 and a gt3 rs which were both fun even when fully upgraded, however with the garbage glare from the sun and ridiculous speeds i would crash alot. most races with those cars were either the normal win by 15 seconds or come dead last 5 times due to crashing.

so all in all the game was somewhat enjoyable during the mid stages of career mode, having mid-range cars that handled and drove fairly well with a good enough sense of speed. the highway battles in said mid-stages of the game were ace, incredibly boring at the first stages, and controller throwingly frustrating and impossible with fully upgraded tier 2 and 1 cars.

the story in career mode was in a word, well terrible i guess (the only real word to describe it would be edited by mods anyways) i couldn't stand how you would do a few races then out of nowhere chase linh comes up in a riduculous cutscene and say something along the lines of "we have enough information now good job" or "i have never failed before don't let this be the first time" it was all just random and i felt in no way shape or form connected to the story. the acting was appaulling. i find more talent in my toilet, post bomb, pre flush. i was happy for a minute when i had beaten the career (in about 10 hours total playing time) then i realized all i had left was a bunch of races that would give me nothing more than a few more useless dollars in the bank account and a couple more numbers onto my percent completed tally. so i took the game back (did i mention i was smart and rented it) at about 70-80% total completion.

the tuning was useless. the upgrades were even moreso. very few parts with the exception of the huge amount of rims. the only thing i really added to cars since the rest was all non-branded ea stoner crap. the autosculpt took painfully long to move the slider from 0-100% and i could rarely see what was even happening to the parts being changed due to the dark blue ugly background of the moronic menu.

thats it for me. i could go on for hours more but i can't even bear the thought of the game any longer. i have played the series since nfs2 and was collecting all of the nfs games. after carbon, prostreet and this abomination thats over. maybe next time around ea will actually FINISH a game. imo prostreet and especially undercover were not even close to being a finished game. if i worked at ea i would kick everyone in the nuts for even contemplating releasing a game thats not done. i don't think i could ever be proud of anything in the last two nfs titles. ea must think we are all either 5 years old or just stupid. i have a feeling i won't be playing another nfs game for a long time. 2010 i doubt i'll even rent.

end of my ranting. guess i'm done with this forum again till next year when i come to read the horrible reviews of the next game. cheers everyone.

And I've heard previous complaints about not getting busted and continuing a pursuit despite flat tires... but 10-15 minutes? That's a lot.

Argh.

Edit: Also what's up with the lack of a cursor, ON THE PC VERSION? It would have been much easier to navigate menus and drag sliders with the mouse.
