A flashy game isn't everything, the original most wanted was a great game, when you rob the old school generation that likes street racing of shifting abilities, appearance and performance upgrades it doesn't make the game any fun for us, a group of us played it last night and everyone agreed that this game isn't for us and never will be, IM sorry to rant but ever since criterion took over the gaming part of the need for speed sagas has been lost. I spent big bucks on a game that was really disappointing for me and friends. But it sounds to me like one less costumer isn't no big deal, I think ill wait for the next midnight club to come out.
Judging by your "valid" arguments ,this game is obviously not for you (like many NFS games were not 4me , so i didn't buy them , I rent them and play couple of hours 2 satisfy my NFS™ between rounds of more serious driving games like FM,GT,iR ) , but I'm glad you know , there is plenty of "praised" NFS™ games that's been out last few years , like UNDERGROUND™,CARBON™,MOST WANTED™ orig.! , which are superb in anyway (gameplay , graphics , world design , playability , mods, body kits , stickers , autosculpture, neon lamps , my crib is better than your crib storyline!!! presented by half naked babes with big b**** & testosteron teenagers talking thrash language , not to mention "realistic handling" included with everyone of them ) to this new criterion release .
Good thing is , you can get them all together for less money than this new MW and you'll play them so much , you'll have no time to spend on forums .
That's something to think about .
Now, what I want to say , give game a go and if it doesn't suits you , then It dont > if this is so bad ,then i'm sure next NFS will be full of features which many of NFS™ fans are missing in this iteration .
Sorry you feel that way about the latest NFS. I love this game. Even though I don't have it installed yet. I had it installed before but had to remove it as it was taking up my disk space. Hopefully you will change your feelings about the game. Cheers.

I can understand why this game won't appeal to certain NFS fans. The NFS series has changed a lot over the years and it has been more or less the studio at hand that created the NFS their own way. I too miss the Underground series and one can only hope that a new version of the series will see the daylight soon.
However, me and the majority of the players all loved the last game, Hot Pursuit which Criterion released 2010. Criterion does what Criterion do best, create fast paced, action packed racing. Visual customization is not really their thing and if you offer little to none of that, getting license from various car brands are also a lot easier.
While i'm not sure this game is as good and polished as the HP game, this is a 7/10 game for me and would (hopefully will) be a 9/10 game when they fix the performance issues and crashes.
