breathtaking

+ Gigantic, open and freely passable game world around the United States with all known cities and attractions and this amazingly realistic and detailed. Countless places to explore here and to drive a number of terrains, from deserts to snowy mountains everything is on offer here!
+ Day / night / weather changes
+ Tuning options on performance and appearance to entire kit (Offroad / Race / Rally etc)
+ Also with slower Internet connection easily playable (without PS + with waiver of multiplayer features)
+ Fully playable solo
+ Countless events / races / Herausforderungen-> pure variety
+ Story I find, in contrast to other reviewers, very good

Graphics I think is quite well but nothing outstanding. Yet not nearly as bad as some describe. However, from the trailer (which even with a short wait in the start screen) miles away. For my taste definitely sufficient. Just a little less edge flares would have been desirable nowadays.

-to little choice of vehicles
-Tuningmöglichkeiten Still expandable
-What I had hoped after the trailer was that werdden visible the new parts in the engine and performance tuning. Unfortunately, this is not the case, it is only the body disappears but everything else remains the same
-no-round visibility. One can only see sideways around him, is not possible at top and bottom. That's too bad, especially in the admirable cities, if you want look around.

All in all I'm almost completely thrilled and play the game now for many hours and have only a fraction of the world disclosed / completed missions, so I'm going to have continuous fun. After NFS Underground 2 At last a racing game that offers everything I want to racing games!
From me, therefore, there's a strong buy recommendation.
