Allthough the following points will concern features that were promised but are not here (yet?) I'm happy to have bought the game, in my honest opninion even without certain features it was still worth the 70 euro pre-order, no doubt. The map is insane to drive around, I've spent hours marking my favourite drifting roads, testing my supercars on the highway, and just admiring several of the many great views to be seen throughout fortune valley.
I pre ordered payback in October, and before I get into what I really need to say, I have to say that I love the game, despite all the negative screeching coming from parts of the community, I find that the new upgrade system is much better than the previous NFS, the fact that you have to start from scratch instead of Mass-unlocking every part depending on level, (in other words : buy new car -> immediately maxed out due to unlocks) is more attractive and makes you really want to play more to achieve further upgades. My name is Miles and I've been a longstanding fan of need for speed ever since I discovered NFSU1 as a child.
