Today I played for a long time the game and have to say that the graphics are much better than the predecessors. The rain effects are as good as the mouth remains open! There clap Raindrops on the monitor and refract light. The reflections on the cars and the animations (Girls in the cutscenes) are as real as if you are in real life. Menu control is also very good, you can choose to want to make the map WAAS, GPS one leads to the arrow to the meeting point of a race or a radar box or the Tuning Shop or to the secret hideout. Funny are the chases with the police. The camera will stop when a police you noticed, zooms to the "donut eating cops" zooms again back to your car and then begins the persecution really good effect, with police radio and all known from Hot Pursuit. The cars are very powerful, you can do all sorts of burnouts, Powerslides, nitro boosts, ... SpielSpass guaranteed with addictive because you think: A Race yet, then I might turn a car-free.
