This is a great game. Open ended city racing (aka GTA3+ style) but
with set races, cars to find, upgrades, multiplayer. And the graphics
are the best I've seen.
And yet....
The game insists on a persistent internet connection. This wouldnt
be so bad, but it *silently* drops the connection on a regular basis.
It doesnt tell you this, just lets you amass XP, only to have it
stripped when you switch to multi-player (and subsuquently resync with
the servers).
Now this is pretty much the worst crime IMO. Essentially, you lost
your work. Often in the region of hours of racing. All because EA cant
figure how to stop piracy without mandating a persistent connection.
Oh, and the UI completely loses the plot and starts showing debug/error messages in the interface!
Shame, this will bite lots of ppl i expect, and it is otherwise an amazing game.....
