9.0
The Good
Racing and wrecking is as thrilling as ever
Open-world design creates a great sense of destructive freedom
Showtime mode is a hoot
Online functionality is seamless and addicting
Superb visuals.
the bad
Could have used more variety in race and event types
Soundtrack and DJ dialogue are awful
Early in the game, you'll probably be a little confused and overwhelmed by the whole thing
