At the beginning I must say whom the concept of Need for Speed does not like it should not even consider using it to buy !! That's why I do not understand some reviews. It is correct that the damage model is a joke, but that should not be too high rate because it also did not occur in the other parts of it. What you do not see in the demo is the story that is mentioned in any way, and I believe also had its meaning. One begins with the ultimate tuned BMW, and undergoes a kind retrospect to the actual story. It begins with some illegal race in which our main character meets a very hot woman. After several clashes with the police and some drivers the "blacklist" (XD), our hero goes against the number one to use one's own vehicle documents. As he loses the race must come through an engine failure ....... (Kotz) and off the truck. Then the actual game, in which it comes starts graze the blacklist and to show the arrogant show-off he won only by luck. The story is told extremely ingenious in this part, there are real actors the story ahead with ingame scenes combined. It reminds a little of everything "Gone in 60 Seconds" and "2 Fast 2 Furious". The game teeming with good music and a fleet of about 35 cars. The tuning is a little taken a back seat because it has focused on the race and the new modes. All in all I am very satisfied with the import !! Very good graphics, excellent sound (music and Motorengräusche !!!). The story is told super, and the different partially new modes make a lot of fun, even if sometimes the collision detection is next ^^. That which makes every game seem a bit annoying is the tedious and sometimes lengthy beginning, until you finally stand a new car in the garage. Conclusion: Very good game with small mistakes that should not deter you from buying. I regret buying the Black Edition in any way, although it was very expensive. (Germany is supposed to be cheaper)
