I likes the NFS series; I enjoyed a lot (and still enjoy do) the Hot Pursuit 2; the underground nice touch is the broad selection of custom modifications of cars, sometimes I spend more time tunning my car than driving!
The circuits on night cities is a nice touch, with real like routes and some nice details. Also I like a lot the sound effects, if you enjoy playing with a Home Theater 5.1 sound system you can feel the engine roaring
Also I prefer the cars choice, the HP2 have a nice selection, but almost all of them are (for me) dream cars, sometimes you prefer to have more 'normal / street / common' cars to choose from.
Now EA must gives us the next NFS: An off road game!!
