Fun game for fans of the franchise and arcade racing fans in general. I feel like this game is what Most Wanted should have been. Handling has improved, more customization options than ever before, and the multiplayer (which, is basically the whole game considering you're always connected to other people) is innovative and fun. Being able to race other players with the press of a single button is awesome, and the presence of player cops will always keep you on your toes (haven't tried the cop career yet, though I imagine it's a blast taking everyone's speed points).
   
   Only negative is the game isn't amazingly optimized for the PC. I have a few hiccups while running it (though, for comparison, I have none at all while running Battlefield 4).
   
   This game was a great buy with the $10 off code from McDonald's for Origin. There is plenty of content and replay value to be worth $40 over and over again.… Expand

The career modes are a bit of a challenge, but do not take too long to complete. I choose to play in single-player mode because when the game is in online mode, the server keeps resetting during gameplay, which takes away from the multiplayer experience. But it's quite entertaining to play as a cop and take down racers at your own leisure. I can run the game properly by running in single-player mode, disabling Origin In Game, and unlocking the frame rate using a command prompt. I can now run the game at 60 fps maxed at 2560x1440 resolution. My PC is running an Intel Core i7 @ 4.4 GHz and a GTX 970 and it does not break out a sweat running this game on those settings. Nice game to play once you configure it to run properly, but Ghost Games could have put a little more effort into the career modes. But overall, a solid game.… Expand

   Play it on a console if you can, because it's capped at 30 fps. In my opinion, that's the only thing holding it back from being the best PC racing game to come out in years. Gameplay is incredibly addictive, story is okay and could be better, cops are aggressively fun, cars rule.… Expand

   Avoid, if you can. If you have to have it, buy it for a console.

   In short:
   -bad port,
   - locked at 30 FPS (Can't change it in the options. Console commands make the game go nuts speed up) ;
   **** GUI no mouse control IG (maps); Tutorial is pointless (Cant skip); Cut-scenes (Cant skip),
   -Customization is "Limited" (Why can't we tune our cars like we could in the Underground (2), Most wanted, carbon ?)
   -no in car view... only 2 choices, 3rd person view or pumper.
   
   The list goes on and on, it's the same need for speed we've seen in the last few years. again.… Expand

   The game itself would deserve a 5 or 6 if I could play it more than 15 minutes without feeling literally sick.
   What the hell was on EA mind?The game itself would deserve a 5 or 6 if I could play it more than 15 minutes without feeling literally sick.
   What the hell was on EA mind? This is not an rpg or a puzzle game which can run at 30 fps flawlessly. This is a racing game, and racing games are supposed to be FAST.
   Also, no AA settings, no mouse control in game, no cut-scenes skip..
   
   Just another horrible porting… Expand
