Good fun racing game
by JamesR7 on August 18, 2008
Pros: 2 player mode; lots of races; fun
Cons: Can't cut away from storyline videos; 2 player mode; indestructible cars
Summary: I love this game. It is a blast and one of few games that you can race a friend. The problem is the 2 player mode is pretty limited, it ...

Summary: I love this game. It is a blast and one of few games that you can race a friend. The problem is the 2 player mode is pretty limited, it would be nice to be able to play all the modes with 2 players.
It would also be nice if there were more consequence to crashes to both you and the other cars in the races. I have slammed cars hard into the wall and had them immediately go zooming by me and you cannot harm you own car.
Some of the races get a bit too long too. The best game I have yet though.

really fun
by good_sk8er on May 22, 2007
Pros: better customization options than in previous installments, wide variety of vehicles
Cons: really short, graphics are kind of a let down. only two players
Summary: Cool racing game, probably the best one out, but it isn't comparible to gran turismo in any way. I bought the game and resistance with the system. It's ...

Just another driving game
by racevw14 on April 27, 2007
Pros: nice graphics
Cons: Too few cars & no tweaking
Summary: It's a pretty game but really if it hadn't been for the lack of games at launch I'd have taken a pass on this one!

I like to be able to "tweak" the suspension, not just buy new parts.
I haven't put this game back in my PS3 since I got Motorstorm & Formula 1 championship edition.
If your really hard up for a driving game this one isn't terrible but much better games are just around the corner!

Way too short
by dpescamilla on April 13, 2007
Pros: Nice graphics
Cons: Short game; bad character acting

Summary: Overall, this game is a great game to rent, not to buy. It’s a pretty nice game. The graphics are pretty good, and the car physics are decent, but wish they were more realistic like Grand Turismo. On the hand, this game is way too short. I got to the last boss in the second day of game play, and I’m not that much of a gamer. I also thought the character acting was kind of cheesy

Let down racer
by zman1991 on December 24, 2006
Pros: The graphics and car selections are as you would expect from a Need for Speed game, (really good).
Cons: You never feel like you can fast enough, and the acceleration is slow on any car, (maybe not relatively, but certainly in general). This would seem to be the highlight of a racing game
Summary: I would suggest getting it if you have been a long time Need for Speed fan. But if you are just looking for a really good racing game, I would ...

Summary: I would suggest getting it if you have been a long time Need for Speed fan. But if you are just looking for a really good racing game, I would say that getting ridge racers would be a better choice. Burnout and Motor Storm will also be really good when they come out as well.
