Good to see another attempt at Need For Speed. From what I've heard, it's passable so it's above average, yet still forgettable since it doesn't scratch enough of that Underground itch. Personally I just want the tuning options of Underground 2 back. Dumbed down and fake so it's very accessible to non-car folk, yet detailed enough to actually influence your vehicle's performance. And ever since Rockstar San Diego stopped doing Midnight Club (to be fair, it's to help make GTA 5 happen, so.... Can't argue with that), I've wanted a street racing game that isn't meant to be stuck between arcade and simulation. I just want arcade, but with tuning options (hard to explain since no arcade racer would do player controlled tuning options, although Wangan Midnight Maximum Tune allowed assigning points to attributes). Note I said tuning, not f'ing customization by cramming in a new engine or slapping decals and spinners on the damn thing. The one in the last Need For Speed had tuning options for handling, but that's it. I wanted to mess with the engine and gears so I can really make my car absolute crap and broken from a flagrant lack of experience and intelligence. Make it spin out on a straightaway yeah!

Ahem... So I'm curious to see what the new Need For Speed will be like.
