The only issue I have with this game is the post level 50 aspect of it. Level 50 is the maximum level you can reach, which allows you to unlock the best parts in the game via some special races (it takes about 3 days to reach it). After this though, there really is nothing left to do. I feel as though the game suffers some real longevity issues. There is no reason for you to return once you have all the ultimate+ parts, and a few maxed out vehicles that you actually care about. These can all be achieved within 5-7 days. The game is pretty solid, especially for a NFS game with a good (although short) story mode too. It's a shame to see that the game's life is only about a week or more.

Besides that, I see a lot of potential for NFS if they continue in this general direction with the game (talking about the game as a whole, not the post 50 aspect). Character creation was a cool addition, although we barely see them outside of the story, which is fine - its a racing game, not an RPG. I still very much appreciated the addition of it though, and it really made the story mode more enjoyable. Just seeing our custom character interacting with the story is always a delight.

The earn money during daytime, and rep during night time is also a fun idea IMO.

This game is also really difficult in the early-game (levels 1-20). Police are ruthless, and your car struggles to pace them, making early rep very difficult to obtain. Mid-game (levels 20-30) is probably the most balanced, while late-game really is a breeze. Once you hit about level 30, getting to 50 can be done on the same night. I am not kidding.

As a note here: The tutorial doesn't show you how to sell cars lol, I had to google it, and it doesnt really explain how to get rid of the cops either (hint hint: all you do is drive over some ramps and then hide behind something).

Thanks for adding cross-platform! But... You can't add console players to a crew that has a PC leader, and vice versa. Why...?

My points were mostly based on the lesser discussed parts of the game. For a detailed review on the main/other parts of the game I would highly recommend @\/|P3R $RT 's review that can be found high up on the store reviews.
