From what I understood you were supoosed to be either a bad --- racer or hard case police officier but all I find my self doing is time trials or rapid response races where you are racing against a clock, if I wanted a game like that I wouldnt have traded Shift. I have owned every Need For Speed since way back in the 90's and this as been the far worst one I've ever owned. It has its fun parts when you can be the cop and bust racers or be the racer and out run the cop but those events are few and far between. The racer time trials aren't that bad just to many of them, the rapid response cop races suck, you get a two seconds penalty for hitting a wall and three seconds for hitting traffic (which traffic doesnt even come close to avoiding a collision with or without sirens and lights), I find more and more I will be drifting around a corner and find traffic in both lanes and no where to go or be on a narrow straight and have traffic in both lanes with no choice but to graze a wall. Also the AI cars seem to defy the laws of physics it seems no matter how hard you slam into them you can barely move them, yet your car is more realistic and goes flying when you get hit. The game needs a story line like the past, if they didnt have enough room on one disk maybe they shouldve done a racer disk and a cop disk. I am not sure if I plan to finish this game the time races are so boring and frustrating, I will probably trade it in for something else. I feel very dissappointed I pre-ordered this game and had very high hopes. The creaters failed to deliever
