Why have people rated it so poorly throughout the years? This is actually a good racing game. We need its physics in the next NFS if we want the game to elevate itself with the likes of Gran Turismo while still wild and untamed.

Even though this game could be better in many ways there are some sacrifices taht are totally understanble. I;m glad that Black Box took a totally different approach to the franchise. This was a strong game, despite it being tedious sometimes, though I do wish it was a little longer.

El jeugo posee una historia simple poco creativa y llena de quick events poco insertados en el resto del juego. Aun asi con neuvamente ofrecer una mejora tecnica importante y una gran variedad de ambientes, el juego ofrece la accion y emocion esperables en un juego de Need for Speed.
