Once you unlock the fast cars the game does really become a blast. However, there are some ways to cheese the game with the Porsche RSR essentially being a broken car, meaning once you unlock is early in the game, you are basically untouchable. Same for the police, that one jump on the outer edges of the city means you can take out every single police officer chasing you at once, even at Heat Level 5, making chases relatively simple to escape once you have a fast enough car. Despite this, this NFS is easily the best one this gen and hopefully there will be future content updates over the course of the next few months to build on the excellent base they have here.
