This is a title I have been looking forward to ever since NFS: Carbon.
I pre-ordered my copy for XBOX about 2 months ago. GameSpot have released their review and I hate to say it but it does not look good.
After the success of Carbon I was really looking forward to this title. I think I am still going to get my preorder but will trade it in if it does not live up to my expectations.
Man I hope GameSpot got it wrong.

Practical advice for building a multiplayer gaming community through reliable hosting, fair moderation, custom content and regular events.
A spooky European village. Properly scary castle mania. Vampires. Werewolves! The only thing more frightening, is a glimpse at your empty bank account when it comes to deciding whether or not you can grab Resident Evil Village this month. Capcom's successor to its long-running survival-horror franchise is finally out, and if you've read our review then you know the game is a winner on multiple levels.
Critical Hit is built on the idea that we are more than one thing. Are you a hardcore gamer who also enjoys a night out at the movies? Perhaps you’re a professional cosplayer who is searching for the perfect burger, or maybe you’re just interested in high-end tech and Netflix binging. Covering gaming, entertainment, tech and geek, Critical Hit offers information and critique from a staff of diverse, knowledgeable and fiercely opinionated writers.

Weird, a few other reviews gave it nice scores to the contrary. If I were you I would check Metacritic for an average.
On a personal note I dont really buy NFS games anymore as after NFS:U its all just the same with little tweaks here & there.

Thanks for the Tip Ruslan.
I have always used GameSpot as a measure but I will go check out the site.
Is this Ruslan from BF2 days? 🙂

Gamespot, lately, have not been up to standards in their reviews. They are like a local publication we have, which I shall not mention.

I think that is fashionable for reviewers to bash NFS as a money making franchise.
So what if each new game is similar to the previous one- I love them all.

well… for me, most wanted and undergroung series where the best.
Carbon was simply slapped together. the story was ok-ish but the graphics where basically the same as most wanted, only every thing was at night…
I was ever disappointed by Carbon. the game didn’t even properly support my graphics card(ati 1600xt) and that really got me angry, as where there was shadows, all i saw was black, as though there was nothing there.
The game was WAY WAY WAY to short, I mean, I sat down, and finished it in a day…
the cop cars where as dumb as the ones in nfs 1 (yes there were cops then)
I must say, the quality of NFS went down after most wanted… oh well… we can always wait and see how pro street does

I have found Eurogamers (www.eurogamer.net) to be very unbiased when it comes to their reviews. They tell it like it is with any and all games.
Game NFS: Pro Street a 5/10 btw

I think burnout:paradise will be more enjoyable. I’ll wait for that.

Yeah B:P is the next racing game on my Radar. I played the Prostreet demo and it’s an awesome “playstation” type game – It has tons of potential but just doesn’t deliver. 😉

@Boswald – Ahh, Messiah. Yeah, now I recall. Nice to see you after such a long break. You into BF2142 by any chance as well?
