Full review
This is a rather different addition to the Need For Speed series as none of the races have the ability to drive around the cities as none of the races are in the city or on the streets as the others. For people that adore the previous editions which allowed you to different races on the streets will be disappointed by this edition. The general graphics and the sound quality is better than the previous games. But the fact that there is not the ability to drive around and test out he cars. there is still the ability to test all the cars out and then there is a more in depth customization area for the different parts that are edded on to the car. There is a ride range of places to race on the game though allowing a large variety. With four different game modes.
Grip -
Sector Shootout: Try and complete sections of the course faster than your opponents
Time Attack : Complete a lap faster than your opponent
Grip: Normal race against 6 opponents

Drag -
1/2 Mile Drag: One on One Race. 3 Attempts. 5 Opponents
1/4 Mile Drag: One on One Race. 3 Attempts. 5 Opponents
Wheelie Competition: Fit Suspension to your drag with a high amount of horsepower and try to wheelie father than your opponent on a 1/4 mile drag circuit

Drift -
Drift: Try to drift on corners that are on other race tracks. 5 opponents. 3 attempts

Speed - (This is a new mode that debuts on Pro Street)
Top Speed Run: Race against 5 opponents and go through the checkpoints on the point to point track at the highest possible speed to have the highest total speed at the end.
Speed Challenge: Point to point race and whoever gets to the end first.

The new mode is one of the great additions the game but can be extremely frustrating with just clipping a car or a going up the wrong side of a bump can total your car causing you have to use a repair marker, and then your race is over and will have to restart it all over again.
The controls are good but are best if you get a wheel as it can be un-comfortable otherwise. With the motion sensing technology you can take the feel of the gameplay and really get into the game. If you are a real fan of the game I would not recommend this game. But it is actually good in the technical side of things
