I bought it and took it back today, i didnt like it. Its TOO similar to dub edition this version is much harder though. Looks like ill be waiting for COD5.

My 2 cents

Pluses

Graphics are awesome (uses the same engine as GTA IV). Downtown LA is mapped out really nicely

Soundtrack is very good

Car physics are really good - the weight of the cars have big effect (try 2 wheel a S14 around the corner and it will roll)

Customisation is good

Day & Night cycle affects traffic volumes

Online racing is good and not too laggy (Haven't tried it personally but friends of mine have done so)

Minuses

No split-screen mulitplayer - don't get me started on this!

Game can be incredibly hard - some people really complained about this but for me it adds to the challenge (increses frustration but you get a sense of joy when you win)

Game is very terrible "rubberbanding" or catch up logic for you Daytona Kiddes. it helps you but it also pisses you off at the same time

Car/bike collection is not deep enough - 3 bikes is not enough and no too many cars (in comparision to DUB Edition)

At high speed you can bounce off power poles and trees and just slow down but at lower speeds you will be stuck

IMO for a game series that its their first time out on "next-gen" consoles...Its a very good baseline to work on...the next game needs a very deep car collection.

I highly recommend getting the game from the video shop and play with it before you consider buying it
