Am an avid NFS fan, and this game gives me mixed feelings.
To sum it up:
Pros
- Arcade racing is pretty well done.
- Car collection is great (the BMW M3 with the original skin from Most Wanted is retained)
- Fun and comfortable driving feel.
- Reasonable grinding.
- Cops chases reminds you of the older days in NFS: Carbon.
- Community wraps is a blessing to have. What it means is you can use car skins created by other players (which they really have a knack for it).
- Beneficial glitches will never be patched since this game will no longer receive any updates.

Cons
- Music soundtrack is UTTER TRASH. Do yourself a favor and turn off BGM.
- Character design is ugly as heck.
- Cinematic cutscenes is poorly developed. Extremely low FPS and stuttering during cutscenes.
- Lack of story depth.
- Questionable UI choices and knowing the fact it will not be updated, ever.
- Unrealistic obstacles (you can just crash into a freaking forklift and the forklift disintegrates)
- 100% achievements is pretty much difficult to grind since there are online-only race achievements and lack of online players.

Now you would think "hey, the pros seemed really inferior compared to the cons, why do I still recommend this game?"
First of, don't compare this game to legendary NFS games like Most Wanted, Underground and Carbon. This is on it's own tier (and not a better tier), so don't expect much of it.

Second of, if you are more into the racing and car customization of this game, it did deliver and met expectations. That alone is enough of a factor for me to recommend this game. Simply because: this is a car racing game, it gives a car racing game. For those who are looking more of what they paid for, the truth is there's not much other than racing, racing and more racing. But I am glad the car racing element is good enough.

So if you are into racing, cars and racing (because racing is twice as important here), I do recommend to get this game AT A DISCOUNT.
