Anyways, the next thing I like is that how you can buy cars that you haven't unlocked yet (Or any car/car part for that matter) with Microsoft Points instead of In-Game cash. I'm getting lots of MSP for Christmas, and I have 160 left over from when my account got stolen, so I spent 80 on the Skyline GTR. I'm racing stock and it's blowing through the competition.
Anyways, I was just wondering about everyone else's thoughts.

Why not unlock it in game yourself? I'm against paying to unlock stuff which you already paid for.

I love Mighty Micro People. I love the downtempo soundtrack of the game. The Menu songs are the best, I prefer it over the actual game tracks. it's just very well done. I'm glad they fixed that horrible and awkward steering to a degree from prostreet, but I wish the damage element was as strong as prostreet though, plus the civi cars take damage, and the more damage you do and the more laws you break the higher the heat, even with cops not present is kinda cool, but the realism factor is upped a notch when you got cops not coming for a call, but converging on a nearby sandwich shop for lunch, or when you park on the side of the road, a lone squad car will come up and try to scan your plates for any problems. The highway battle thing is fun but dangerous. Many a time around 10ish on the 405 going 85-90ish you just feel like zigzagging through traffic and blazing through it, then you realize that you're not in a fine precision tuned Evo or the Aston Martin, but a booter Honda Passport. Love it, but damn, I sure wish I had an Evo (or the Aston.)

I love all of Amon Tobin's work.

I agree on the damage issue. 230 mph in a Veyron + wall shouldn't equal ricocheting off of it.
The selection of cars is nice. I'm very glad they kept the Escort, as it's a very capable car to get from the pink slips race. I also like some of the new Autosculpt tweaks and added features. A better color selector is fine too.
But no '05-'07 STI makes me sad.
Oh, and Skyline GT-R is lolfail when you can have the R35.
Veyron > R35 GT-R > Gallardo LP560-4 > Evo X > Escort RS > *

I really think it went a step back from the previous games (Pro Street, Carbon and Most Wanted).
Free Roam has no reason except for cop chases. There's no hidden shops, enemies or anything. You can't even activate a race from the free roam.
Races aren't bad but the opponents are really easy and even one of the shitiest cars in the game half way maxed out can beat a maxed out lambo.
The cars are nice and I like the customization but I feel that they could have done so much more.
All in all, horrible.

Really? I'm loving it. I thought I was almost done, and I beat a race (I only had 2 more left) and like 250 more popped up. I was like HOLY SHIT. It's fun, though. I just unlocked the Tier 1 set of cars, leading me to buy the Corvette Z06. I'm going to win enough races with it until I can buy the Porche that costs the most. I forgot the name of it, but it was at the very end of Most Wanted as well.
What do you guys think is the best car? I think I'll buy it as well. I've gotten like 28/50 achievements, and I thought that the rest of them would be easy, but they're like "Win 119 Ranked Matches" and I'm like "WTF."
Also, it seems now that every game that's released has some type of "Infection" gametype in it. I mean really, Halo 3, CoD 5, now NFS? (NFS: UC has 'Cops 'n' Robbers'.)

I'm thinking about picking this up just because I love me a good cop chase (especially online: Midtown Madness 3 anyone?). But I'm wondering how it compares to the newest Midnight Club? Anybody played both or just have an opinion? Thanks.
