I`ve just tried it and it feels more like an add-on for most wanted. The graphics are somewhat better and there is quite a lot of cars to choose from, but its still like an insight into how ricers percieve the real world. It did however strike me how the whole setup, from music to cutscenes to small details and sound effects, is extreamely close to the average big screen movie with lots and lots of bombastic OOHs and AAHs but little substance. Its sad to see that this is being done under the Need for Speed flag, because the last six games were far from Nfs.
It almost feels as if the good old nfs just annexed test drive...
