Although the latest Need For Speed game has got some poor reviews so far, I don't see the problem with it.

I got the game yesterday and haven't stopped playing it since, it's great! With the great 'Most Wanted' title and then the downhill slide that was the 'ProStreet' title, the Need For Speed range needed a lift. And I reckon that the latest 'Need For Speed' game is that lift.

The game starts pretty suddenly, part way through the first movie scene you get dropped straight into the action, so a quick tip, make sure you're not drinking while this happens like I was.

Overall this game is alot like 'Most Wanted', with many chases to escape from the rather short, and slow, arm of the law, plus with alot of high speed, action packed street races.

However, the things that make this new title better the the previous 'Most Wanted' is the awesome graphics and new range of cars. With a new set of cars including the Pagani Zonda F, Mclaren F1 and the amazing Bugatti Veyron, you can race across the streets at a lightening speed.

Although the graphics and storling to the game are great, there are a couple of downsides to the game. Firstly, the AI of the game is not brilliant. Within all races there are some drivers that go for the win, and then there are the annoying ones that simply take you out by smashing you into a wall. Most of the time when you restart a race, it will be caused by the AI, which will be followed by some cursing.

Even though the game has it's downsides, the overall play of the game is brilliant, it's a mix of 'Most Wanted' and 'Burnout Paradise', and both of those games were great fun to play. I can only advise than when EA come to make their next 'Need For Speed' title, they dedicate a little bit more time on the AI. Overall I would give the game 8.5/10
