Fun
"From the very first seconds"
An open city to roam freely, where you challenge rivals, shake off the police and climb a most-wanted list through wild races. The freedom to bomb anywhere you like and the thrill of chases create a constant high. Snappy, spectacular and superbly made, an arcade racer that turns the whole city into a playground for outlaw drivers.
Addictiveness
"Obsessive"
Crisscrossing an open city to challenge the fastest machines and shake off a tenacious police force sets up a loop of racing and fleeing where the next goal springs up at every intersection. Improving your cars and climbing the Most Wanted list renew the urge. Its atmosphere can feel cold, but the thrill of the pursuit and the freedom of the terrain hold you for the long haul.
