Not what was expected

If you're looking for an arcade-style racer where the laws of physics cease to exist, then this is the game for you. I've been a fan of NFS since the beginning. I was quite disappointed by this title for two main reasons.
First, the fact that I can slam into oncoming traffic and lose none of my forward momentum is just plain silly. Unless of course it happens to be an eighteen wheeler, then all momentum is lost in an instant. This minor detail just ruined the whole game for me.
The second major turn-off for me was the sub-Playstation 1 graphics. I thought I was playing this game on my 11 year-old PC. Traffic and scenery is drawn up a mere 200 yards or so in front of your car as you move along. Getting out of the way of traffic proved to be impossible at times which was quite frustrating, not to mention the endless supply of supercar pursuit vehicles.
The only positive aspect about this game was the storyline. I found myself playing just to see what would happen at the end. I beat the entire career mode in about 10 hours. Overall, I'm very displeased with EA on this pathetic addition to the NFS line-up.
