I only made it halfway through the game, I'm sure that when they made this game the producer knew it was a stupid game and they released it this way, if not they really have something to worry about. All you do in this game is a single player race to get to the checkpoint on time and a race where you have to pass 6-10 people and finish first.You play the same 2 things over and over and over again.The roads change,the maps change,the opposing vehicles change but everything else is the same. To change vehicles, you need to see the gas stations that appear in some sections and enter there in the middle of the race.You don't have a garage, you can only change vehicles when you find this place.You can't make an upgrade to the vehicles.Even if you change vehicles, almost all of them have the same top speed and acceleration. The only difference is their appearance and handling. In such a situation, why would you choose a vehicle with bad handling? On a dirt surface, the lamborghini gallardo or subaru impreza goes the same way, it goes the same way on asphalt. There are stupid cutscenes all the time and I don't know why but there are a lot of quick time events in this game.And these are not even in the vehicle but on foot.You are running away from the police, you are attacked by dogs and you get rid of them with a quick time event.What a good innovation for an NFS game. It's what we've been waiting for for years! Apart from that, you can't change the controls of the vehicle from the in-game settings, you have to go to the main menu and change them there. Vehicles are immediately wrecked even in a simple accident and you expect to return to the checkpoint with a loading screen. Even simply sideswiping things like walls or other vehicles can cause serious speed loss.The cops are a complete disgrace, they come from across the road and they come in front of you at a moment like a kamikaze and make you willingly have an accident. After a certain time, it becomes so annoying that you have to maneuver accordingly by remembering where the police will come out and break in front of you at any moment in the mission you play over and over again.It is very difficult to drift, go to the very outside of the road to take a turn and break the steering wheel, and at the end of the bend, continue on the road with nitro because as soon as you pull the handbrake, the spin out happens and the vehicle stops.A stupid part of the game is that it's not clear whether it's an arcade game or a simulation. In an arcade game, it is normal to have an accident and shorten the road, and this is tolerated. The player is allowed to have an accident as much as possible and is often rewarded with this score. Here, if you pass the rival vehicles without hitting them, you earn xp twice as much as you did by hitting them. If you go off the road for a bit, the game immediately teleports you back before you can use your own shortcut. . However, the game is all about police attacking you and speed, so it is not clear whether it is an arcade or a simulation. There are no side and rear mirrors.The only thing I like is the graphics and the opportunity to play with your favorite vehicle. Other than that I didn't enjoy this game at all and I think I played it enough to give me something different but I definitely didn't find what I wanted.
