I was totally surprised by this game. With the let down that was NFS:UD2, I wasn't expecting much from this one, which is why I was taken back so much. The sense of speed is just right. One minor gripe I had was the slo mo thing, I think it slows your car down way too much when you go back to normal speed. It was still done slightly better in Midnight Club 3, IMO. Anyway,knowing that EA can still make a good NFS game just makes UD2 that much more disappointing to me. Oh, and the acting truly sucks, but that's neither here nor there. Anyway, most of the cars aren't that great, but the one you get from #12 is pretty sweet. I'm about to challenge Izzy and after I beat her the first thing I'm getting is that Mustang.
