Isn't that Need for Speed: Most Wanted? Wait, let's back up...
Let's look at NFS' roots, shall we? A game obviously in love with cars (e.g. narrated showcases in Road & Track Presents, pretty much all of Porsche Unleashed), filled with amazing exotic performance sports cars, tearing through beautiful and diverse locals, from shining seaside highways to lush national parks and even active volcanoes. Note the utter lack of ridiculous, juvenile stories; oxymoronic "urban exotics" like, uh, Golfs and Tiburons; and ugly obnoxious paint jobs and high school fantasy accessories (that can include Maggie Q if you like).
The closest thing we've had to a real NFS since NFS Underground became the de facto series standard is Test Drive Unlimited, IMO. Meanwhile NFS devolves into a better-driving SRS (can we win Maggie Q yet?). But it sells like Civic parts, so why the hell not.
Ahh, Burnout, how you erase the pain.

I agree. Most Wanted was the best I had played, and the nighttime crap (Carbon/Underground) just has to go. I don't want to pretend like I'm some pansy in an Eclipse running from the 5-0 at 3am. I want a true racing game with the element of the police thrown in for good measure.
Burnout Paradise definitely fills that gap, I only wish that once you beat everything, it's replayability was better. The only thing I go back to there is to play online, which I admit is good, just limiting.

This is exactly what I was saying to a friend yesterday. To EA, the "roots" of NFS are Underground >_

I remember back when NFS wasn't a yearly garbage fest. Thanks EA for ruining it like everything else.

So eventhough the NFS team was split in two we still are gonna get a NFS every year from now on right?

I just hope it lives up to it's own hype. Just sounds too good to be true.

Underground 2 and "favorite NFS game" should never go together, unless you're a misinformed lemming who should know better.

The best NFSs were Hot Pursuit 1+ 2.

Yeah, I'd say most males would agree. Least those under 30-something...

Yeah, each team takes turns releasing, so they get 24 months per game.

Midnight Club LA comes out a month before this, so I'm passing on Undercover. And since I'm a NFS junkie, it pains me to say that I'm skipping this one, but I am. Bow down to the new overlords of street racing at Rockstar San Diego.

I agree with pretty much all of you here. This game is gonna suck, hot pursuit 1 and 2 were the best, EA ruined the series, and Midnight Club LA is gonna rock. The only thing I'll disagree with is, while I love Burnout Paradise, my favorite racing games now are Grid and Dirt :)
