I can't even map the keys I want on my keyboard. In the game config file you can change these options, but there ARE NO OPTIONS IN-GAME WTF.ДЈ.) Controls are horrible. Being based on Frostbite 2 (same as BF3) it can support deferred AA and post AA. You can disable VSYNC (why is this option even there) but its game engine locked at 30 FPS, FOR A RACING GAME.Дў.) It has no in-game AA options, AT ALL.

However, I don't feel this game deserves a full writeup, there isn't anything to talk about.ДЎ.) Game is capped at 30 FPS, yep, no way around it. I'll go ahead and write up a 1 page preview, so it gets main page coverage, and I will editorialize on my experiences there. I've put time and money into it, and it almost isn't worth it. I pre-purchased this game, and have stayed up all night for you guys, to deliver a gameplay performance and IQ article in this game. Consolitis game mechanics ruin yet another game. This is the second time I have been disappointed by the Need for Speed franchise and I will not be returning no matter what it promises.I am highly dissapointed in this game. There are so many, many good driving games out there from Burnout to Motorstorm and Ridge Racer as well as all of the retro titles such as Daytona and OutRun. I cannot think of any reason to recommend this garbage to you. As I have said before, online-based trophies should not count towards a Platinum. Many of them are based on online play, which is a barren after 3 years of being released.

After playing it through to the end, because I hate myself, I only unlocked 36% of the trophies. I thought this was a chore even back then. It was a multi-load tape and would load each level one a time. I remember when I had Turbo OutRun for my Commodore 64 way back in 1991. Where the programmers complete idiots or cruel sadists? There's no installation either, and you know what that means, kiddies - loooooooooong loading times.

I swear it will make you so mad you'll chuck your controller through the TV and go out looking for a fight. When going off course, be it merely TOUCHING a grass verge or going off a cliff there is no destruction animation, the game just fades out. And there lies the worst problem of this game - if you go off the road by just a single freakin' INCH the game resets to the last check point, even if you have not past any checkpoints it will send you back to the beginning of the race and you'll still lose a reset point. Winning any race is based on chance not skill. Do you want a level where you can enjoy going fast? Well tough, because the next one, and the one after that, is mountain-based meaning lots and lots of switchbacks, and the road is wet too so if you even think about having even the slightest control over it then you will be disappointed. Are you enjoying that 1-second burst of speed? Well don't, because you're getting thrown right into a right-angle turn.

Rival drivers are capable of impossible physics and miracles. If you clip another car even gently, even by the wing mirror, you'll be thrown off the road. You'll cling to every guard rail, be they concrete or steel, like magnet. The handling on all vehicles is simply terrible and anything/everything will make you fishtail. It's unlikely that you'll actually enjoy this trip from the Big Orange to the Big Apple as you'll spend half the time struggling to keep your car under control. That's it as far as story goes, not that it matters since some of the best racing games have virtually zero story. Right away you are enrolled in a West-to-East coast cross-country race (sort of a reverse Turbo OutRun) for a grand prize that will settle your debts with said mobsters. In the opening scene you escape a car compactor and flee the gangsters who are out to kill you. You play as Jack, a young troublemaker who finds himself in deep with the mob.

Should I actually bother doing a review for this junk or should I just give you a long list of complaints? I suppose they'd be one and the same. Word of advice to developers and publishers: if you sell your game on speed, the need for it, and have the word in the title, then don't punish the player for wanting it.
