Need for Speed, Unbound included, has become a shell of what it used to be (Heat being the only recent exception). Unbound tries to be something we want, but fails at it as it falls on its face. The handling is still clunky and the vehicle list feels dry, boring and repetitive. If there is one thing this game does well, it's the customisation, I love how NFS gives you a lot of control over a lot of little details, from window decals and liveries, to mufflers and exhaust tones. However, the pros to this game don't outweigh the cons and it's a shame the NFS games in are this shape when you consider the absolute home run each game was back in the day.

I truly hope EA can get it together and start releasing quality NFS games again because we need another racing titan in the ring to compete with the likes of Forza.
