I have 2 versions of this game, the vita and the pc version. Actually I bougth the pc version because I loved the vita one but wanted to see it with better graphics, and I'm not disapointed.

I really don't get why people are complaining about. This game is great, obviously is a whole diferent story to other NFS games, it's gameplay is more like Burnout Paradaise City, so what?. If you have friends this games become just about competition, after a while of playing it, you start competing with your friends even if they are not online, speed cameras, bilboards jumps, race time, car score. Seriously this game is all about beating your friends and thats what makes it fun. Also if you just want to spend some time you can go drive in the whole city without restrictions, this open world is excelent to have fun just practicing your drifting and jumping trough billboards.

Also it runs perfectly smooth on my laptop and it is not a big expensive overqualified laptop. I'm playing it with full detail in graphics, here are my specs:

-Intel Core i5
-nvidia GeForce GT540 MT 2GB
-4GB of RAM
-Windows 7 home edition

As I said, it is not a high end laptop and still runs perfectly smooth. So if you liked burnout paradise city, and have friends that are into this kind of games then you will have a lot of fun. If you are an unsociable kid without a friend then there isn't a lot for you to do with this game.

Story game
8.5 style game
The game relies on the new style in spite of the similarity of names and ideas from the previous section, but is harder and stronger in the races from the first part.
8.5 Graphic game
The company adopted a sophisticated engine showed graphics are detailed and embody very good for the city and the surrounding environment with semi-realistic cars.
8.5 Audio game
Affected the game sounds natural and very high for racing car engines which will play with musical sounds collide with a very good graphic.
Artificial Intelligence

The game carries a certain thought to finish the game which access for the first rank of the blacklist, however you will also finish the game 100% with multiplayer mode to enjoy with your friends.

Overall Rating: game in total is more than a very good name because of repeated and thought of the blacklist, which considered the best part in the series however, the basic principle is always irreplaceable and I advise you to experience this part well and enjoying it.

This is the best made open world feel to the NFS franchise! ........ yet .... it could've had so much more potential. It had reasonably alright playable single player, but it had no story whatsoever( taking down nameless rivals don't count). If the story was seamlessly connected to the gameplay, it would've made this game one of the best in NFS history, similar to what the original most wanted actually DID do.
Criterion really focused on the multiplayer, and it is well made too, with single player is merely a stepping stone tutorial for MP gameplay.

As of now, the gameplay is smooth, framerate acceptable, and the game not glitchy, apart from a few minor problems. The graphics are outstanding, even on the lowest settings, and the DLC is well worth buying too.

Overall its earned its place as one of many great NFS games, but it could of been so much more, if Criterion for once would made a storyline!

For some reason the game is actually awesome but when u get it the fps drop like HELL but i found a way to fix it

Alright now youre done but still problems A problem was the handling i just turn awesomly and and BOOM (crash)
another thing is the crash thing i drive 50mph and i crash into a traffic car (crash cam show itt self)
but otherwise the cop chases,car list,mods,repair shops,setting,billboards,bosses (most wanted),make it all good

OVERALL:This is a nice game and all but they really need to fix the problems i mentioned

ea has been lacking recently on this games series, but this one really hit its mark.
i am running a xi computer with quad core duo @ 2.83 ghz, 4 gigs of ram, gtx 560 ti...
i have no lag whatsoever, the graphics are beautiful, and it is surprisingly realistic for an arcade style game.
it is not exactly like the original most wanted, but follows the same guidelines, beat the "most wanted" racers, avoid the cops and craash alot.
there is no real game menu, you are always in a race(and they are very hard) or freedrive but the pause menu has everything you need for the game settings.
there are a ton of cops roaming around, but still it is not too annoying because you have to be driving either over the speed limit (pretty fast) or bump into them.
as for the list of cars, it is quite long... there are more than twice the cars than in the first most wanted, 66 to be exact. it is frustrating to get the cars because you have to find them, and they are very well hidden (well most of them, and there are 2 of every car.) it is fairly easy to get from car to car, you just use the "easydrive" menu, select the car you want and it will lead you on the on-screen map to where it is and just hit your change car button.
there are gas stations along the roads and if you drive through them they will fix your car, from dents to blown tires and will change the color of your car.
i use a logitech driving force gt racing wheel, and it just makes the game that much better. there is one annoyance though, when you want to enter a race you have to spin your wheels (just hold the brake and gas down) but with the wheel it cant do that.... i don't know why though. i have to use the keyboard and it was annoying when i wanted to try my first race.
overall a really good game, and i hope they continue on this path. i love Shift, and like the run but this one is better than both
i had no problems during installation, already had Origin, and just started playing. (you start off in an aston v12 vantage)
have fun playing
