How does it compare to Hot Pursuit?
I recall that this 'drifting-as-if-it-is-on-a-conveyor' that we have seen in Hot Pursuit has been removed and proper handling and engine added. Quite frankly, the majority is different to Hot Pursuit. But as much as I like the game, there are a few things that are not that great.
For example the difficulties
easy and
normal are way too easy to predict regarding races. You can see when your opponent has a boost or when he slows down, which sometimes makes as few sense as a Ford Taurus PD car keeping up with a M3 E92 that is near the 150mph zone.
But there is one thing that I really love, which is that you have to be skilly regarding these 'hit this key in time' challenges as well as the ones where you have to avoid gunfires of mobs' jeeps or helicopters and last but not least (while approaching downtown NY) the oncoming-traffic-slalom challenge, which is definitely tricky when rushing with nearly 165mph.
I just finished the storyline and I'm up to finish the challenge series to unlock more cars. Even though this game has aspects that speak against this, I'd rate this as a ten.
