A.01: Review
~~~~~~~~~~~~
If you're looking for a realistic driving simulator, this is not your game. 
Need for *Speed* is the name of the game, and that is what it delivers. 
While you will find a "vehicle damage" option, all it does is affect the 
appearance of your car, not its performance.

After the previous two "Underground" games in the NFS series, MW returns to 
more racing-centric gameplay, though still with the "street" background to 
the story (such as it is). While tricking out your vehicle visually is 
still an option, it isn't really required unless you need to tone down the 
heat on your car.

You can freely roam about the city, as in NFS:U2; however, you also have 
the option of jumping directly into events rather than having to drive to 
each one. The game takes place during an autumn day in the city of 
Rockport. It's a large game world with good detail and plenty of shortcuts 
and off-road opportunities.

NFS:MW also marks the return of luxury sports cars such as two models from 
Lamborghini, the Ford GT, Dodge Viper and more. The cars are beautiful. The 
graphics are detailed. The game is very, very fast.
