Ahhh... First NFS i played was #2, was totally simple with an awesome soundtrack. #3 was even better, #4 was fine. Everything after that was just utter ****. Vowed to never play the series again (and driving around in circles was becoming incredibly boring). :)

As I said, NFS3 was awesome, and then I got NFS2 wich was truly amazing, very simple and lots of fun, NFS4 was a "revolution" at the time, because the cars got damage, there were even lots of skins in the internet, so that u could put other cars in the game... Great times... (I'm old) :D
Liked the first NFSU because it really was a good game, another "revolution" at that time... Let's hope they do it right next year :)
So basically it's an arcade game. Something you would happily spend an hour playing in an arcade with friends after a few drinks, but not something you would actually want to own.
Just for the old times' sake I might give it a try. I remember the (original?) NFS I had at somewhere around the change of millenium and how fast and furious it felt at the time.
Actually it depends on which 'average' you are using... As reviews from Bit-Tech never or extrememly rarely rate anything below a score of 5, a score of 6 is below a mean average in comparison to other reviews. The actual average from reviews on this site would work out around 7.5-8.

Bit-tech uses the whole 1-10 scoring scale. The only reason we usually score 6+ is because there's only me on the entire staff who is constantly devoted to games and I, therefore, prioritise my time on the things that are actually interesting to readers. Our readers aren't stupid, so they are generally only interested in bigger games, which means higher budgets and usually higher quality releases. I look at more rubbish games when I can and if we had capacity to review a wider range of titles then I'm confident you'd see the average score widen.
Besides, we're confusing the definition of 'average'. I was originally saying that a 5/10 is a game of average quality - something which fails to either wholly impress or disappoint. You're saying that the mean score we give out is around a 7/8, which is a different thing. To me, a 5/10 is an average score but can still seem unimpressive based on the expectations people have for their purchases.

This was the one that brought me to the NFS World... Now, I can't even touch it after playing Most Wanted... (loved the first NFS Underground)
It seams that this is another one to pass... sadly
6/10 is above average. 5/10 is average here.

Cracking :D

And that looks, roughly, about what I'd expect from a NFS game. I'll be passing until it's cheaper than chips found by David Dickinson.

got to say the demo sucked also

Paul reviewed this. I don't review any racing games, since I can't drive and can't stand cars.
I'm all about the tractors, me.
