need for speed: paradise city
12/26/2012
This review is from: Need for Speed Most Wanted (2012) Xbox 360 Game
Pros:
i have really enjoyed this game. however, i knew what i was getting into before i played it. it is made by criterion, who also made burnout: paradise (which i absolutely love). there are a lot of similarities between the two, so it is almost like playing burnout: paradise with licensed cars.
Cons:
many need for speed fans have complained about how major of a departure this game is from the rest of the nfs games. like i said previously, i figured it would be, and this doesnt bother me. there are a couple of things that i dont really like about this game, but they arent too major.
first, the online play can be pretty bothersome. most of the time is spent driving to events and waiting for the events to start. this wouldnt be such a problem, if each time it didnt turn into a demolition derby. there is incentive for crashing other players so once a few people get to the destination it turns into a "crash as many people as possible as fast as possible" situation.
second, there is no way to play custom event lists in public games. you are given the option to create your own playlist of events, but once you join a public game, those are no longer available. what this means is that you can only play your costume lists with your friends in private games. going along with this, there is little info given for each event, so even while you can create your own playlists, you dont really know what you will be doing until you actually play the events.
Overall Review:
i would have liked to see some stunt events at least in online play, if not in the single player game play.
