Combine this with the generally unsatisfying crashes and you've got little reason to reach the latter stages of the plot.ĮA Black Box have tried to introduce some longevity with the levelling up of your character, drip-fed customisation options, online modes and an extensive range of shiny vehicles to drive around in, but when the actual action is as repetitive as it is, you'll probably not want to bother earning the cash to buy a McLaren F1. Open Uni DullĪs for the police chases, they, like the regular racing, are exciting at first, but become duller than a documentary on farming practices in Lower Saxony during the Middle Ages. There's also a love interest to ogle (Christina Milian, Z-list female celeb fans) but her idea of a romantic first date is, predictably, street racing.

You just have to do so many of them (and for most of the game they are very easy) all excitement is quickly drained from the action. This allows us to tell the game which cars should be there by simply modifying the memory data. Fortunately for us, the cars availability in the car lot is stored in the save game file, which is then loaded to the memory. Unfortunately, you have to do so many of these things that everything gets very samey, very quickly, which is a shame because the actual races are reasonably good fun and give a great sense of speed. Undercover police cars or traffic cars can not be added via this method.
