Heres some screen shots I took while playing this game. 1024x768 res with the detail bar to max. I didnt bother doing the advanced menu stuff.
For a very basic review...looks lovely, plays smooth on those settings mostly with the odd stutter here and there. Hard as a motherfucker!! Career mode will test you from the very beginning and theres no difficulty setting.
Music is the usual mix of metal, pop, hip-hop etc. and the engine sounds are just as nice as in N4SU2. Feels better to be playing in daylight for once and the cops are a nice new addition adding some different play modes where you have to lose them by destroying parts of the city and leaving them to clean up the mess while you find a safe house.
It can get extremely hard pretty quickly. On the 3rd boss on the list one of the side goals is to escape the police after having caused damage to 8 seperate police cars. The longer the chase goes on the more follow you so to get up to 8 can take quite a bit of running around and 8 cars on your case are hard to shake once you have tagged them all I can tell you.
Give it a try, its on the torrent networks but I had to use sd4hide.exe to get it to work and its fussy even then but its worth having a go of if you like your driving games going down to the wire in a lot of races. This one's a challenge.
