and Since when the need for speed games started involvement of careful driving????
In the arcade racers? never. And if you don't want to drive carefully, well you crash :|
I expected a game atleast 50% of original nfs in quality... the driving back there was reckless and speedy!!!

It is equally reckless and speedy, in fact, its way more reckless and speedy than any of the previous NFS titles, make some progress in the game without complaining, you understand what I'm saying.

but what I am seeing here is another BURNOUT PARADISE, I mean seriously wtf???
They have made a burnout with some additional features (car modding and nothing else)...
Nope, totally disagree about that. The only game that the gameplay reminds of when playing this game is, the original Most Wanted and a little bit of Burnout, but whats wrong with that anyway :) . Its clearly a very good successor to the original. There are downsides in the other areas, but in terms of gameplay, its that Perfect NFS gameplay! :D
and talking about car upgrades, they have added this feature like there is no upgrade feature available in game.... I MISS THose MOMENTS I SPENT IN UPGRADING CARS IN NFSMW 2005, and modifying visuals, applying new paints, vinlys...
Agreed. That and the performance issues are my only complaints. Hopefully, EA might green light an Underground sequel, or atleast a street racer with tons of customization. And I also wonder why isn't any other racing games developer is trying something like Underground, sad :(

and the driving controls suck!!! and I was expecting a game full of speed and nitrous where you don't have to care about anything (YOUR CAR GETTING CRASHED),
This one is a pretty weird complaint :|
What happens when you drive reckless in the original Most Wanted? you crash, and then you get delayed in the race. That's pretty much the same thing happening in the new Most Wanted, you crash, slow down and get delayed, and return back to the race..atleast the delay time is very low in this one ;)
You crash in the original Most wanted, you pretty much lose the race, period! But this one at least gives you a chance to come back and win.

well whatever, I expected a game like original nfsmw and not another burnout paradise...

Aside from the lack of customization and story mode, this is pretty much a Most Wanted game. C'mon man, you're complaining too much. This is by far the best looking racing game on PC, killer AI(both Cops and racers), handling is amazing just like a most wanted game, online mode etc. Even I am pretty disappointed about the downsides but that isn't stopping me enjoying this game..

I might buy this one, may be after the price goes down to 1k or something.

Its there, and its much better than the environmental damage in most of the arcade racers, and....the objects dont disappear after crashing, lol!
And trust me, you wouldn't want those set pieces to stop the cops, its kinda distracting.
I'll play only because of you and if I don't like it then I'm gonna kick your @$$. :p:D

It is quite difficult to lose cops when it gets to 5 or more heat level ... I have been able to evade only one , I havent played it that much , this might be a reason of my failure to loose the cops ... I have played 3 hours and in which 1 hour is occupied by one pursuit - me in a r8 (stock) . :D

Somethings wrong with this game, first of all the performance sucks, I have a 580 and 2600k and @ 1680x1050 I have occasional hitching, like its skipping, not smooth, it feels dead wrong, nfs hot pursuit hit this dead on, it was smooth with all the action on screen, but this is utter cr@p, what's with the hitching, after the patch even nfs run played dead smooth.

Second is the steering sensitivity, I can't light tap the controls and swerve away from an upcoming cars, basically I can't dodge cars as effectively as in Hot Pursuit or in NFSMW, I need to hit the left/right arrow keys a little back and give wide berth to upcoming cars, this is realistic but if I wanted realistic I'd got with F1 or DiRT, not this, I wanted a fun arcade racer, not this.

Finally, they call tapping a key customizing? Where's the the customization garage? And this game needs a look back key bad, just to admire the cars.

A real half ass pc port, plus the gameplay isn't anything like MW, this is burnout paradise with a performance issue, this game can't be called MW without f'n speedbrakers.

Meh, beating cops ain't fun, just drive around till you lose them? Atleast there should had been some speedbreakers.

I'm surprised a lot of people compare the gameplay to Burnout. The cars in Burnout didn't feel so heavy and slightly realistic as in this one, Burnout was way more arcade than MW. May be those guys should go back and play the original Most Wanted and see how the gameplay is. The original MW was known for super heavy weighing cars :p the new one brings that back very well.

whats the mechanism of losing cops in this game?
do you simply out run them (gta4?) ?

Its the same, minus those set piece environments from the original most wanted. The cops are difficult to beat, but not as level 6 cops from the original.
