Well I got this game on Friday but I wasn't to sure wether it would be a good change to the series or a bad one.
In my opinion its not a good change, online mode is great fun but I feel that you can hardly move around the city due to to all the traffic, and the fact that just the slightest corner collision with an obstruction takes you down.
And when you start a race at 1 end of the city if, you go to the other end of the city, and if you lose you'll have to go all the way back just to try again.
But those are just my views, what do you think?
