Gamefly Needs to Stop Using IGN False Reviews.

Let's get one fact straight before you go any further. Do not ignore what the other real reviews say. Do ignore every single review given by IGN. They are anti-Nintendo (and that kind of bias isn't needed in the gaming world) and they also lie about what to expect from Wii games to further their own initiative. To put it "point-blank" I have read 6 negative Skyward Sword reviews (and that game is EPIC and better than ANY other game I have ever laid hand on for more reasons than can be counted in this review) and I have read nothing negative from them about this game. They give no indication that this or the other NFS games will be different than the other consoles and they claimed MW3 was going to be very bad and different which it was not at all (except in lacking the high definition part which doesn't even mean "bad" graphics, just fewer pixels). IGN is not to be trusted.
Moving on, this is by far NOT the worst Need For Speed, although I'd put it just above the original 1994 release of Hot Pursuit, and just under Nitro. This is far better than the newer release of Hot Pursuit that EA gave us and considering this was created by the Black Box division (creators of Undercover) EA could have given us A LOT better for the Wii.
What has been given is lack-luster arcade machine graphics, no cut-screens (none of the "get out and run" the other consoles get though we all know the Wii is capable of MUCH more than all of this, EA seems intent to destroy Nintendo), annoyingly non-existent physics ("hero-stunts"? Really?), decent music for a 90's or 80's game, and an "upgrade system" that entails placing one of the maybe 2 options for body kits on the car and one of maybe 6 colors the car was released in. What this is, is the original Hot Pursuit without the ability to choose cars in the main mode.
It isn't all bad, this game does have a somewhat enjoyable OFFLINE multi-player mode in a pinch and the "arcade" feel does have it's place, but I am very disappo
