Whoever buys this game in 2013 (release was 2011) and an Internet connection for its PS3 has, who has to make once in for a real update orgy. The later are still bugs in the game, however, makes things awkward. Whether and how this relates to the collapse of Atari I can not judge, but I can understand the parts of the gamer scene are acidic and therefore boycotted the game.
A total of more vehicles than the previous available (new are now SUV or SUV), this number is only achieved there by individual manufacturers more models and variants. Overall, the vehicle diversity has decreased, although I no longer find it particularly unfortunate that this Lamborghini is (this one has now cars of Porsche tuning company RUF).
The tasks and races are similar to the first part, unfortunately, the criticisms have been taken from him. Much annoying and repeated (some tasks and races have for me as a casual car racing players from difficulty also produces a high frustration factor) and various innovations (the worst the constant phone calls from "friends" are) making the game rather more annoying.
What remains is still a great atmosphere, even if the graphics compared to its predecessor could not set appreciably. It's just fun to explore the island, clothes, cars and homes to buy and to be able switchen As a special feature, between Ibiza and Oahu.
Alone due to the still unreached OpenWorld atmosphere is worth even today the purchase of the game. Because of the race and the graphics are not likely.
