If you make a game like a teen-movie and players don't like your movie, they're not going to enjoy your game no matter how it plays. Make games for mature adults and you will capture the youth market.

    2. Don't substitute unnecessary cut scenes for actions that players could perform themselves.

    NFS Payback is a perfect example of how not to make a game – racing or otherwise. As far as racing goes, another flaw in this entry is the obtrusive arches and directional arrows which completely break the immersion in an otherwise beautifully rendered open world. You especially don't need directions in places where there is only one possible route. I give it 4 points for the graphics..    … Expand

    Payback pays homage to the fast-paced and ridiculous racing action present in the Fast and the Furious films, and pulls off most of its ideas very well.

Graphics wise, it looks amazing, although I did encounter some pop-in while playing on my PS4 Pro. The sound is really well done, as most of the cars sound like their real-life counterparts. The gameplay consists of drag racing, circuit races and off-road races, mixed with various story missions spanning across the open world of Fortune Valley. The open world is empty, although it is huge. There is not much detail put into it, which makes it feel lifeless and boring to drive in. The variety of environments is interesting though. People are hating on this game because of the loot box system, but after 50+ hours playing this game, I can safely say that cars and parts can be earned by simply playing. I didn’t spend a dime on the shipments as I kept unlocking cars and parts as I progressed. The progression system will intimidate players at first, but as you play, you will find that you progress at a generous rate, compared to EA’s other outing, Battlefront 2. Story is nonsensical, cheesy stuff. The characters are shallow, and boring. The payoff is unsatisfying, but the missions are varied and provide for some great movie style moments that frankly no other racing game this year has provided. Payback is a great entry to the series, but does have its missteps. Calling it awful, or most shockingly “the next Battlefront 2” is just absurd. You knew what you were getting into, an arcade style racer which doesn’t take itself seriously. It’s tons of fun with friends too.… Expand

    How many hours do you have to play a game to before you can definitely say it is a bad game? Full disclosure: I downloaded this game "free" from PlayStation Plus. I did not so much buy it as have it drop into my lap.

    Driving around the Need for Speed world, I was shocked that the developers put so much effort into the buildings and environment when it should have been clear to them that    How many hours do you have to play a game to before you can definitely say it is a bad game? Full disclosure: I downloaded this game "free" from PlayStation Plus. I did not so much buy it as have it drop into my lap.

    Driving around the Need for Speed world, I was shocked that the developers put so much effort into the buildings and environment when it should have been clear to them that the gameplay was going to be terrible. The worst of the game starts right away. The voice acting is flat and the dialogue is as generic as elevator music. Then you have to run away from some police. You are driving a souped up race car and they are driving stock police cars. Yet somehow the cops can go from 0 to 60 in 1 second and hit about 200 mph on city streets. In the past 30 years, developers have made zero effort to improve a.i.

    The other races in the game have some "rubberbanding". I am not entire sure because I lowered the difficulty to easy. Big mistake. Every race has been a cake walk. Now and then, despite a huge lead, an a.i. car will suddenly appear on my tail. On higher difficulties, maybe they would race past me right as I approach the finish line. The general strategy in arcade feeling racing games is to get ahead and stay ahead, and this always makes for boring races.

    The worst mechanic in the game is the progression system. You cannot simply enter any race and have a good time. Instead you have to either "grind" for upgrades or buy upgrades as micro-transactions. The game will happily show you all the cars you cannot drive unless you buy an upgrade pack with real dollars. Someone bought this game for $60 in 2017 and immediately regretted their purchase when they saw these free-to-play/pay-to-win purchase options. Part of me is ok with playing a "free" game for all of its free content and part of me wonders why I would waste my time when I can pay for a better game.

    The problem with racing on the PS4 ecosystem is that there are not that many arcade style racers. You can play a plethora of kart racers and a few very serious racing simulations. Outside of Need for Speed, I cannot think of any casual racing games for the rest of us. I also cannot think of any casual racing games with 2 player split screen. This is the ultimate travesty, and Electronic Arts perpetuates it with the Need for Speed franchise. Rather than code in split screen, which used to be a standard feature in all racing games, Electronic Arts set up an elaborate store for micro-transactions. So instead of a fun arcade style racer that I can play with my family, Need for Speed is a platform for micro-transactions. I would give this game less than 5 out of 10 except I do have that itch to play a racing game and Need for Speed is a racing game.

    Last note on this mediocre piece of crap: why don't we have a remake of Burnout: Takedown? That game was just so amazing and here we are 3 console generations later and we have not seen a worthy successor. The playbook for making a good arcade style racing game is right before us! Just remake that game and enjoy the praise of high Metacritic scores! No micro-transactions. No stupid progression system. Just straight up good racing with split screen. Dear developers, this is what your customers deserve.    … Expand

    What lets it down is the lack of police chases while free-roaming, the handling of cars around corners is a little twitchy (it’s either perfect drift or doughnuts when you go off-road) and the pretty heavy storyline that cuts up your rhythm mid-game. Get past that though and you could beat the house.

The open world is gorgeous with a very eclectic and varied map with open highways and tight twisty mountain climbs. The cars feel and SOUND incredible to drive. I couldn't get my speakers loud enough to take in the amazing audio from this game. There is always something different to do. Whether it is different types of vehicle races or spending my time searching for derelict cars to build up.

    I have spent over 10 hours playing and I have yet to spend any more money on the game. I am struggling to find the NEED for the micro transactions. Their existence has not affected my game at all and I have not felt any grinding feeling. So far, the progression has been perfect. I actually really like the card system. You buy cards to upgrade your car. I liked it because it simplified car customization and performance upgrading, which is what I want from an arcade racing game!

    Speaking of customization, the visual customization is great. It is annoying at first that you cannot change all parts on your car without unlocking more but it ends up leading to unlocks later in the game which feel great to get.

    The story is as you would expect from a Need for Speed game or Fast and Furious style movie....and I like it. It is SO much fun just driving around the world so it feels great that they mostly tell the story through conversations as you are driving from spot to spot.

    There are some minor bugs that were annoying, but passable. Mostly, when your wheels go slightly off a cliff or when you run right into a pole it respawns your car a few seconds back which basically means you need to restart your race. There are also some minor texture popping.

    I like how the game doesn't focus on the characters but always focuses on making the cars the stars of the game, and they are great.

    One other thing, there is a social aspect to Payback. Every once and a while a new car will appear in the world and the only way to find it is to scour social media. Once you find the car, you have to drive it back to the garage at the airfield with the cops on your tail. Again, it is another little fun reason to drive around the awesome world.

    I hope people play this game with an open mind. If you are into loud noises, cars and fast driving then I highly suggest this game.    … Expand

Picking one (like Turbo) thinking it'll have one effect (like actually making the car faster), can just as easily do NOTHING for speed, like you'd THINK, but just help your jumping and airtime capabilities, or even just upgrade breaking.

Its easy to be good at it and people talk like they need 100 hours to finish the story cuz they are used to playing Forza in which u get TOO much money for a race. I had a Regera in the 2 hours I played it and in Payback I needed 6 hours to get it.

    Why this is a bad game is even worse. The graphics are better, lots of beautiful scenery, a map better than NFS2015 but not as good as RIVALS (lack of the icy bits). Driving feels much better, checkpoints are an arc now (looks cool) and the cars are good looking. The free roam lacks the cops (it´s worst than it seems), and the mini games aren´t too bad.

    But as soon as you start racing, all **** get loose.
    First of, this is a game that adjust difficulty by making your driving worst, not the AI better. A drifty car will soon be a gripping paragon if its making a drift event. You´ll feel cheated everytime.
    AI cars going 350km/h after crashing? Check. Lighter cars kicking your Barracuda out to the curb just because you happen to be in the road? Check. AI cars that speed while you are boosting nitro? Check.
    The mechanic is simple. The "House" always wins. They´ll say it´s a feature, kinda of a easter egg since the game revolves around a fictional Las Vegas and the "House" crime syndicate. But the cold hard truth is: AI cheats a lot.
    If your car is under the specifications, Bu-bye. You need cards. I´m not giving attention to cards, because everyone else already told the truth about cards. It´s deez loot-boxes.
    Just bear in mind that to win cards you need to win races. But the races have a dynamic difficulty. That means that if you´re winning, it cheats more and more. And if you´re losing, it gives you a freebie. In reality grinding for cards is three times longer (two to lose, one to win).
    Unlike the previous installments, racing events are not difficulty based anymore. It means that everyroad after its completion becomes a hard "challenging" race where the other races are always one tier above you. TBH there is so much cheating that you´ll break your personal records while getting 3rds and 4ths places.
    The story is way worst than NFS2015. It´s Fast and Furious lazy cousin. The missions are kinda cringy (like racing a truck that is going almost 300km/h). The characters are just as sufferable (it haves mexican races in the barrio, empowered women mad-max in off-road races and cyber-neon-hacker drifters fighting the capitalism in brand new supercars).
    It just don´t have as many races as the previous NFS.
    The police is dumb as it can. Basically it spawns like rabid bees out of a smashed beehive, it´s useless trying to lose them, they´s just pop out to annoy you until you reach 200m of you objective. Than cops go home like the wolf and the dog in that old cartoon.
    After all this is a game that could be better. But all is rigged to make grinding more exaustive, and paid loot boxes more atractive.
    The game is really heavy scripted, almost to the point its a QTE. Because let´s face it: the game makes supercars speed like zephyrs just to look you´re always late. But if you don´t break your controller it will decrease its speed and let you pass in the last minute. EVERY. DAMN. RACE.
    If you got the best first lap of your life? DOESN´T MATTER.
    After all you have a major setback from the previous games. And you can see it is just to sell loot boxes. This is not a fun game at all.    … Expand

    I bought NFS Payback recently on a sale on the Playstation store. I have always been skeptical of EA for their shady practices and sub-par games and it turns out I was not quite wrong.

It's evident that they wanted to go the loot box route. The storyline is weak while the characters are someone you cannot like. And finally, there is apparently an issue with saving the game. I sincerely hope EA goes the way of TellTale Games and we are rid of this cancer in the industry called EA. I remember playing Underground and Carbon and loved the games. This game was garbage. Do NOT pay more than $15 for it.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I hope some of the dev team actaully read some of these...
    To begin with..you are releasing a game..and not every game...you release Need For Speed.. for a long time you used to co-operate with EA which the past years "SHE" used to get more money from microtransactions. Now at the time being..EA not only ruined this game but it's going to ruin the games in the future just and only because you have to obey her rules since you made a contract. Although NFS games used to be very good when you were co-operating with EA the past years you manage to ruin everything when you got 1 team working for 2 games..You actually in the dev team allowed to yourselfs to get stressed out by some people who wanted to make more money..and as a resul..the team destroyed..and as the team destroyed you destroyed also the hapiness of your fans. We have to pay to enjoy most games..i understand that...but when a game is already at a really bad costing price don't say "HEY WE ARE GONNA RELEASE DLC's WHICH THEY ARE GOING TO BE 15$ each..i am not talking about the NFS games..but this is going to happen at the NFS [2019] (if it gets released at this part of time) by EA. You managed to destroy your name that you were building all these years both EA and NFS TM. I've been playing NFS since i got borned...and seeing all this...it makes me really sad..i hope you could stay at the formula of NFSU2 and NFSMW where the graphics were as great as we wanted them and the mechanizations of the game were the best at it's time..I am really dissapointed too because first time in my life i kind of dislike a racing game...
    You are trying to make a game and you are keen on to copy paste the FORZA and the Turismo series by giving NFS "SIMULATOR" physics...WHAT THE ACTUALL **** is going on your head? NFS games weren't about that..You were famous for your physics and the car customisation and guess what..when you ruin one of your main cores you can't keep going..you have to found another formula for the next NFS game(s) and do not let a bunch of GREEDY EA guys tell you what to do..as you can see this is the worst game you release.No ones want to play something that when you brake you drift...when you brake it means you want to go slower...EVEN PRO STREET DIDN'T DO THAT!!!! This game said nope i am not going to drift when i brake..guess what you did after this game..you tryed to make the cars drift when we brake. I seriously want you to take into account that when players want to make a grip car they are going to make A GRIP CAR! when they want to make a drift car they have to change the settings of the engine, the angle of the turning ratio and etc to HAVE A PROPER DRIFT CAR!! fiz your games!! we don't want to pay 60$ to have a game that we can't even play properly! You used to have this awesome songs while you were in a race going with 240 in a town while the bar for the cops was going tut tut tut tut tut tut tutututututututut and then the fun was begining...WHERE IS ALL THIS IN THE PRESENT GAMES???? And let's not talk about multiplayer...because okay we live in 2018-2019 the lag that bothers us is few almost there isn't. So you don't have an excuss to say that the physics are going to change due to lag or ping...when you decide to make a game such as used to be NFS you must think that HEY I MUST FIX THE PREVIOUS **** THAT I MADE AND BUILD A NEW FORMULA! that's all. I really dunno what to say..i almost wrote an essay but i couldn't do something else..i would suggest to everyone to not to buy that game unless they won't to spend money on somehting that it doesn't worth them..if it was 12$ I would say yeah for the money it worths this$$ but now really you make a bad game we pay an above of the clouds price and yet we do get nothing. I am not alone saying that. You have to fix your games and find a furmula that used to be as NFSMW or NFSU1/2. We do prey to the NFS gods sometimes to get a remastered version or so for this games..and they just do not hear us.    … Expand

    From the crappy card system to the amazingly terrible AI and the "scaling" racers. This game needs a lot of work under the hood. When my car is 40 lvls ahead of the mission, i should NOT be unable to catch the guy in the lead even when driving perfectly, obvious ploy to force me to grind MORE cards.

    You already know, that there are loot boxes in this game, but also the whole card system with car parts - is so about mobile gaming. So, in common, this two game components making the NFC horrible for me and I don't understand why they try to make the separate game for PC and consoles. It is a game for phones.

    The cinematic parts and plot are even more hackneyed than loot boxex. All this funny or cool guys and girls. I bet if they change them with FIFA Journey or CoD characters you wouldn't even notice the different between them. And also the main story is the worth version of any Fast and Furious or other Hollywood racing movies.

    The gameplay is awful for me, the driving process made so, that I don't want to start another race. The environmetn monotonous and repetitive with the same turns, roads and colors. Every race or free riding looks like one endless race.

    If i was 10-13 years old boy, maybe I would play this game longer and with more pleasure, collecting all this rare cars parts and winning hundreds same races, but now it is too bad to spend my time for this.    … Expand

Sin embargo, casi todo se puede sacar jugando y de hecho, el juego te va dando paquetes gratis en bastante cantidad, lo mismo con el dinero. Por lo que hubo casos muco peores, uno puede hacer el 100% sin necesidad de pagar y gastar tanto tiempo como otros juegos de este estilo. Hablando del juego en si, sorprendentemente llega a ser muy disfrutable! El ultimo NFS que habia jugado era el MW del 2012, y Payback resulta ser una gran mejora de este (también le hice un análisis). Las carreras son frenéticas, hay bastante personalización, los gráficos están bastante bien, la música me gusto y tiene mucho contenido, ya sea con misiones secundarias, misiones principales, explorar el mapa para encontrar coleccionables, etc... Sin embargo, todo esto se ve muy opacado por ciertas cuestiones. Sinceramente no me he empezado a divertir a partir de las 5 primeras horas aprox, que es cuando ya te dan mas libertad de exploración y te dejan comprar tus propios coches y personalizarlos, y tenes que estar aguantando una trama que, en mi opinión, es genérica, solo detalles menores como el "Martillo del Cielo" son interesantes y ya. Después en cuanto a los controles, si bien no son una atrocidad, siento que podrían pulirse un poco mas ya que el coche a veces es muy duro a la hora de doblar las curvas, y no hay una estadística de manejo como tal. El sistema RPG con las cartas (que lo he visto por muchos lados siendo criticado) honestamente, me gusto. Es básicamente el equivalente a en los Need For Speed clásicos ponerle piezas de prestaciones de motor, suspensión, etc, por lo que cualquier queja acá, si no se la dicen a los anteriores, no tiene sentido. Y por ultimo tengo que decir que si bien el juego en general me gusto, se hace excesivamente repetitivo, puesto que solo son 5 tipos de carrera creo recordar y se repiten toda la aventura.... Llega a cansar y aburrir, ademas de no innovar en nada en la saga en si, siendo un refrito de obras pasadas, aunque esto es compensado en parte por la gran cantidad de autos que hay, mas la personalización y algunos objetivos secundarios, así como las situaciones script del modo historia con persecuciones que no estan para nada mal, aunque no hay policias en el "free roam" y no son igual de recompensatorias y satisfactorias de pasar como el Most Wanted. En resumen, mientras que me parece un juego que esta bien y ya, esta bastante infravalorado, ni de broma me parece un mal juego, y ademas de que fue criticado por los micropagos, cuando tranquilamente puedes jugar al juego sin depender de ellos, no como otros juegos en los que tenes que farmear durante 100 horas para desbloquear una skin. NFS Payback no llega a esos extremos. Definitivamente es uno de los mejores NFS que he probado en mucho tiempo, o al menos, lo siento muchísimo mas pulido y divertido que el MW 2012 que fue el ultimo que probé, y repito: ya le hice reseña.… Expand

    Considering the last NFS game I actively played was Carbon which came out 15 years ago, it's hard to say that I was expecting too much from Payback. I can certainly say that Payback made me feel excited a few times... like 3 times, for about 3 seconds each. And that's where the game's pros end.

    On the Cons side...whoof, where to start. The game feels empty - the plot is one you forget    Considering the last NFS game I actively played was Carbon which came out 15 years ago, it's hard to say that I was expecting too much from Payback. I can certainly say that Payback made me feel excited a few times... like 3 times, for about 3 seconds each. And that's where the game's pros end.

    On the Cons side...whoof, where to start. The game feels empty - the plot is one you forget while playing it, filled to the brim with every cliche you could think of, the voice acting varies from barely acceptable to "holy crap they put that in a game?!", the characters are flat and wouldn't even work in a daytime CW soap opera, the graphics look ok for a 2012 game... but this one is from 2017 and the world feels like no one has ever or would ever live in it.

    Gameplay-wise, the game is a chore to play. The driving is absurdly arcadey, very few cars actually feel good, towards the end there is a horrendous difficulty spike, the drivers and pursuers are laughably aggressive - it is very unlikely that you're gonna get outraced, but holy hell are you gonna get the **** beaten out of you - Plan A for every NPC is to kill you in the most brutal way possible... there is no Plan B. The respawn option worked right about 10 times in my 10 hrs with the game - it usually either respawns you when there is no need for it or let's you just sit there after colliding face-first with a wall.

    The hit detection is questionable at best, the world is restrictive as hell and feels badly built - half the time I felt like I'm taking the longest route to my objective, only to find out it's the only way. Overall the missions are painfully repetitive and by the end of your second hour of playing you've already seen all the game can offer you.

    If I had to compare the last NFS game I played to this, I'd have to say that NFS is dead 70ft underground, never to be playable again, but I won't do that - I'll judge Payback on the base of what it's supposed to be - a good racing game. Well, considering it fails in essentially every aspect possible, I'd say a 3/10 is even a bit generous.    … Expand

По сути эти "карточки" - просто более наглядное отображение характеристик деталей. Прокачка практически идентична любому NFS или Flatout 2 - детали чем то лучше чем то хуже друг друга, и выбираешь что тебе нужно на каждой конкретной машине больше. Звучит вполне адекватно, как по мне. Тем более что лутбоксы дают: за выполнение сторонних активностей, за дрифт и хорошую езду, за старые и ненужные запчасти, за прохождение каждой трассы, за всё что угодно. Ни разу я не почувствовал что "надо бы задонатить", вся прокачка добывается очень легко.

    Кастомизация и классная и не очень одновременно. Кастомизация покраски просто шикарна, очень детальна и интересна, а вот деталей вроде бамперов, крыльев и прочего не блещет разнообразием у некоторых машин. Самое странное что у части машин десятки красивых деталей, аж глаза разбегаются, а на какой нибудь Mazda два с половиной бампера, один хуже другого.

    Управление очень аркадное, но вполне удобное. Учитывая что игра и не пытается быть "автосимулятором", удовольствие можно получить от любого вида заездов кроме дрэга. А когда на "дрэговой" машине заставляют участвовать в обычной гонке, это вообще боль, так как эта машина просто полнейший утюг.

    Кстати о машинах - автопарк тоже довольно объемный, машины сильно отличаются по ощущению от езды. Стоят машины дёшево, за пару гонок можно накопить с нуля. Прокачка раза в два дороже выйдет чем цена изначальной машины, а кастомизация вообще почти бесплатная. Итого на покупку и прокачку новой машины уходит довольно немного времени.

    Сюжет - полнейший бред, персонажи кринжовые и после каждой их фразы хочется выключить звук. Но при этом переговоры копов очень детальные и атмосферные, особенно если выводить их через динамик Dualshock'а.
    Музыки немного, и половина треков отличные (а вторую половину можно скипнуть на нажатие стика:^)

    Открытый мир набит активностями под завязку просто, на каждом шагу то соревнование, то радар, то запчасти для машин, то посылки, то рекламные щиты, то трамплины.

    В общем давно не получал такого удовольствия от игры в аркадные гонки, наверное со времен упомянутого выше FlatOut2. Далеко не идеальная, но отлично подходит для вечернего отдыха.    … Expand

    The game has a lot of bugs, like crashes and the floating car before a run. All the challenges are almost all the same. The game forces you to run and run again in order to progress (or you can use real money to buy lootboxes). The game physics is stupid. Furthermore, the difficult of the game are always the same: hard. It doesn't matter if you chose easy, normal or hard.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The game is is not great or is it bad. The story feels too long for a driving game because they re-use racing styles so even tho you race in different places it feels the same. And drifting races in this game are my least favorite they are just point collecting minigames and you have to be almost perfect to not lose your multiplier. The driving in this game feels good.… Expand

    The game looks extremely bad in its ps4 pro version on the ps5. Checkerboard rendering was extremely poorly implemented and it flickers at every corner. Tuning the cars with collectible cards is not a good solution for me either. The game is still fun though which is why I give it an average 6 point rating.

I wouldn't care if I have to play every mission since I like to complete my game, but in this case the side missions are so repetitive it ruins every good quality of this game. So you have this amazing animation mission with full adrenaline and then you have like 100x of those missions where the goal is mostly the same and the animation looks like as if EA suddenly went for a low budget racing game from an Indie developer.

    This probably shouldn't be a surprise for anyone. Tuning your car looks like a casino. You have those colorful cards that drop randomly. You will unfortunately have to collect those, otherwise your car will be inferior towards other racing cars.    … Expand

    Этот Need for Speed сделан в худших традициях EA, "Меньше геймплея, больше гринда!!!". Игру хочется похвалить за хорошую музыку, хорошую графику и проработанная кастомизация автомобилей, на этом всё.

    The story is thin, something you've seen a 1000 times, but better. It is almost impossible to beat this game. If you are good at it, the game will show you how dirty it is. You are in a lead? No prob, reduce the control of your car for at least 80 %. You're in a good race? Hey, try it with suddenly appearing cars right in front of you, but you cannot dodge because the controls lack.

    Sans parler des micros transaction le jeu n'apporte rien de plaisant pour un jeu de course de notre génération, dirt, forza ou encore grand turismo apporte des conduites plus réaliste avec plus de défi d'année en année mais Ea se contente de seduire un publique jeune ou débutant avec son gameplay digne d'un asphalt (jeu mobile ).

    The offroading portion of the game has got to be the most painful part of a racing game I've ever played down to the control mechanics and God awful track design. Everything else is great but they shove the off-road racing down your throat incessantly and it honestly ruins the game. Racing, drag, and drift are all phenomenal modes just ruin by one part of the game.

    However, there are a lot of things that just kind of ruin the game overall.

    Pros
    - Good variety of cars, although some locked by microtransactions.
    - Overall map layout isn't bad, but too much desert terrain
    - For the most part I liked the driving mechanics/controls well

    Cons
    - didn't like the overall story as the main characters are really just knockoff characters for fast and furious....and the voice acting isn't good and which is made worse by the cringe dialogue, like not every conversation needs to have forced one liners or a joke or comeback..... it just gets really old
    -The biggest issue I had with the game is that really once u get about halfway done with the story, you really have done all of what the game has to offer, and the story isn't really good enough to continue playing.
    - You have sprint, drag, off-road, and drift challenges to complete to advance the story, and that leads to like a mission/cutscene event. Now the events are actually somewhat cool although scripted and it's cool how the crew comes together. But these are very few and makes you wish the game was more like that. and you have to spend hours doing these individual races/challenges against rival groups. The issue with this is that sprint and drag racing are fine enough and didn't have too many complaints, but the offroad just feels too difficult as it's hard to control the car and easy to wreck due to rocks and other barriers. The drifting challenges are too lengthy and not that fun at all.

    overall the game is okay for a few hours before it just gets repetitive, game is fine for few dollars, but paying $60 or whatever it was when the game was first released would of been very disappointing.    … Expand
