It's a pretty chill game overall but if you want to go for achievements it can get a tiny bit sweaty.

The class C cars seem extremely easy to drive at first and you initial feel like you'll breeze through the game but once you start getting to the higher class cars, precision matters a great deal. If anyone picks it up and has trouble, Sean A on YouTube provided some great tips and controls overlays. -

Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit 2
Need for Speed: Underground

The only reason it might not have completely flown under the radar, and how I found out about it, is a single hit that was on the Need For Speed 2 video game. I think the tempo variances on a straight listen through are pretty well spaced.

Just like with Black Mesa v Half Life, a remaster / remake could work well to bring a great storyline into modern day graphics.

While true, showing that you've researched into the things they care about, weighed pros and cons of the options, and picked the one you thought that fits them best can go over well if there isn't too much extreme deviation or if that person is a collector of objects within their hobby.
