1 out of 5 stars What COULD have been the best Need For Speed...   August 23, 2008

As far as gameplay, this game delivers on several platforms really pushing the player to their arcade racing abilities. this could have been the best Need For Speed ever but there are several aspects that started to annoy me. the first thing is that when you actually do finish the game, even 100%, you do not get the then named Audi LeMans Quattro (R8), you don't even get to choose any prizes from the "boss" at the end like everyone else! there are also cars and objects that you HAVE to play online games to get! one of my main arguements against this game is that once a race is over the prize money DRAMATICALLY reduces! this makes it next to impossible to buy a new car....actually it just takes FOR-EV-ER! this game has next to no replay value whatsoever. as much fun as this game is once you DO fully modify a super car, it ends pretty much directly after.

Get A Better Game This Game Has No Fun At All Looks Like Ps2 Graphics And The Cars Are Slow.


3 out of 5 stars Fun, but a little disappointing   April 6, 2008

The first time through was pretty fun, but it was over too quickly - and forget playing through a second time (at least I had no interest). Part of the reason I got this was my understanding that you can unlock the Audi R8. You can, but you don't actually have free use of it - really idiotic in my opinion. Graphics were decent, but not really next-gen. Car selection and customization was pretty good.

It is a fun driving game. Though it would be better if they updated it to use the motion sensor in the PS3 controller.
