Another year, another NFS. Don’t these guys ever get tired? I hope they don’t cause they churn out awesome games year after year!!

Visually, it matches up to the likes of DOOM 3 and Half-Life 2, and at the same time, gameplay and sound are awesome too. Let’s look at different aspects of the game one-by-one:
