Original ideas with poor control

As a fan of the old NFS games and of GT5 I was delighted to competitors from the NFS series. It was grandly promised a real racing simulation. This goal was reached, unfortunately in my opinion from the creators only partially.

# Positive #
+ Original ideas: helmet camera overlooking the apex
+ Effects in Crash
+ Tuning options incl. Refunds for removal of parts
+ Limited number of vehicles
+ Other routes as in GT
+ Good graphics
+ Speed ​​feeling

Undecided # #
= Action aspects of racing are stressed
= Crashes really hurt
= Speed ​​romp through Blur Effects

# # Negative
- Crashes "really hurt", but in controlling them can not be avoided. It's frustrating ...
- Game progress can (and should?) Be purchased via PSN Store
- Directly after four weeks there was already the first addon as DLC. A rogue who thinks evil of it
- Deletion of Need for Speed ​​from the name. Because for me it is very clear still and no serious action Racing Simulation
- All lights, flashing, moving or otherwise makes such attention to itself. Everything vying for attention. This is extremely tiring
- Even during the race the game remains hyperactive: All the time any overlays to experience gains or violations
- Confusing menus with dozens of fonts, colors and font sizes
Not to use the default control -. I play with the steering wheel and the game is absolutely impassable for me using the default settings. So you have to set up compulsory settings.
- Support from EA leaves to be desired: There was more than one or two Pasches and even directly after the publication
- No support for new steering wheels such as Thrustmaster T500RS.

My conclusion: For NFS fans and for those who do not interfere in the troubled elements, worth a try. Who something "sober" examined here is not to find any. It's more of a Gran Turismo on steroids. Quick, fast, action!
