Meh. Played it for a while, and it really doesn't compare to the old MW:black edition. Way less customization, controls are really not that refined. This still feels like Burnout only not as tight. Old MW had way better driving, and WAY more customization. And Burnout:Paradise just had WAY better driving.
The lack of customization except for 'winning races and unlocking that specific upgrade for a car' is really lame actually. You unlock EVERYTHING for a car in a matter of a few races and then there's really no point in ever using that car again. Seriously, after doing that three times, I was bored with the game and had no interest in 'finding' more cars. Found a few of the more exotic ones and upgraded them a bit, and the fun of the game just died out. Way repetitive, not enough content, too much focus on being an arcade driving game.
They took everything that was fun in the Most Wanted games and smashed it to pieces, replacing it with watered down alternatives in an attempt to streamline something that didn't need streamlining. They were the only racing game of their type with the level of customizing you USED to be able to do. Visually and mechanically at the same time, where-as games like Forza and GT are minimal visuals, mostly all mechanical.
