This game (just as many reviews have stated) is amazing! The graphics are simply outstanding and the story line in intriguing. The only con I have (as stated above) is I get the feeling that the movement is repetative. If I am sword fighting a guard then the movement looks the exact same as the next guard I fight. I keep pressing attack and after a few blocks the guard dies... "ok next!".
Also as my title states the game does take a little bit to get started and open full capabilities so if you do buy this game don't give up on it in the first 30 minutes like some people do, keep playing through the boring parts and you will soon learn the aftermath is well worth the wait!
What's great about it: Awsome graphics and gameplay

I bought this yesterday and played for about 4 or 5 hours. I had played the demo and from that would agree with all of the other posts of renting before buying it, but I had some extra gift cards that were about to expire so I went out on a limb and bought it. The driving has a very realistic feel to it, example, if you are full throttle in a front wheel drive car and make a turn then the tires will slip.
If you like games like Forza Motorsports and how the cars have more of a simulation than arcade feel then this game is for you!
My con I put was because I like how on the older Need for Speeds you just had options for the front bumper back bumper ect. However now it seems that they are continuing to shift to the "autosculpt" body kits and that is all that is available in this game.
I feel that this game is worth the full $60 if you are in the market for a racing game. Also for some reason this website has it listed that it is only 1 player when it is acctually 2 players.
What's great about it: Awsome gameplay!
What's not so great: Visual Customization is limited.
