Should I Buy It?
If you're in search of an enjoyable, action-packed arcade racer that is easy to dive into but also offers depth for more committed gamers, this game is a solid choice. Its deviation from the Need For Speed series' typical formula might disappoint purists, but for those open to a blend of the franchise's racing elements with Burnout-style fun, it's a highly recommended buy.
