The only positive ... it runs

Then once comes advertise NFS: World! Ready to go there now? NO yet an introduction to the main menu (!), Which can not be skipped. Ridiculous.

The often highlighted graphic I can not praise despite "quality filter" and high settings, was better in NFS Shift and looks cheap. The sound is crisp, although the menus, motors or other in-game sounds are flat and without ups and worse without bass despite X-fi Titanium and Teufel Audio System. The cars (whether Lamborgini at high speeds or Dodge Charger with a powerful V8) all sound the same.

To call the game mechanics physics would honor too. With all that physics has only really do nothing. 200km / h in the hairpin? No problem - just drifting, has been going ...

About the story is already worth in a racing game is not to lose a word, but not even its title is the game justice, in 15 races as "Raser" I had only one to do with the police, who do not really turn off a but only hindered.

Only the insane AI programming makes it difficult to win the race. Here comes the much-described "rubber band effect" to wear. No matter how good or bad I ride, more than 5 seconds ahead I can not rausholen or have the opponents never in front of me and if you have moved apart in this context are all happily united again after 500m.

Positive aspects? Yes it runs. Negative - it falls in every way behind NFS Shift.

NFS Hot Pursuit? Never again!
