You can pick from a wide range of cars - from a ford focus to a zonda r - it takes some getting used to braking in the turns, but with enough practice it is pretty easy. The sounds that the cars make are unreal. Just like other NFS car games you upgrade your car as you level up and make more money. This is a racing only game, there is no free world you can just go joy ride around in. I would recommend this to anyone looking to play a fun and exciting race car game.
