my thoughts about the game...

[CS gamer]

Having played the game, currently i am at blacklist 5. At the start of the game it strikes you with a little better and resourse hungry graphics than ug2.

Tuning.
This got much worse since ug2. Being a street racer game you want a lot of options for tuning. There are only a feq tuning options here and they are getting unlocked VERY slowly. Which means:
1. dont need a lot of money as tuning at each blacklist does not cost much. The money you get from the "must do" races are more than enough.
2. You dont do any extra races than on the list.

Cars.
the only car I bought in this game was punto, which I sold as soon as I got blacklist golf. Gradually I tuned it and used to beat everyone up to and including baroon on his cayman S. Then I start tuning cayman and beat everyone until I got fully tuned blacklist gallarado. At that point I dont think there is a need for any tuning or any other cars use gallarado for all races bountys etc. Which is a pity as i did not even fully tune the cayman or golf! I got every blacklist car but only used evo occasionaly for raming cops. Cant belive how slow this car is! Also tried to use eclipse early in the game , but that sucked big time.
Generally in this game you dont get involved into tuning its just a matter of getting through blacklists and gettign their cars.

Gameplay.
Firstly the races and the pink slip races are piss easy. The only real trouble I had was blacklist 9 (on the under powered evo) which i had to play for 6-8 times. Cant believe how esy was to beat the blacklist gallarado on half tuned cayman! Getting covete was also easy(both from the one try). The only real trouble i had was getting bounty form blacklist 6 downwards. For some reason this is extraoridinary difficullt in this game. However I found a few places where cops see yuo and cant reach you, that generates a lot of bounty. This workaround defeats the whole idea of the game. I have not seen any difference in the car behavoir from ug2.

FInally I can say that the game become BORING. In turns of car behavoir nfs Porshe Unleashed was awesome, i completed that game more than 10 times. It allowed the car being crashed(needing money for repairs) and was a lot more complicated to drive than ug2 or mw. UG2 lost this beautiful car behavoir but introduced the whole "tuning" element to the game. MW manged to loose that tuning concept and became almost plain boring ARCADE.
