How it feels

Driving feels fast and free with constant police chases and nitrous-fueled combat in a playground-like open world.

What players say

Players are split on this reboot: some praise its arcadey Burnout-style driving, great car sounds, and beautiful Fairhaven city, while others criticize it for lacking the story and progression of the 2005 original. Many complain that too many cars are locked behind DLC, and the mandatory EA app launcher causes frustration.
