The acting in these early segments is awful…awful good, that is. The early story segments are told through some sort of unholy mixture of computer-generated cars and full-motion video actors. The game actually has a great story hook at the beginning that makes you want to see the career mode through to completion. Left with nothing but some mysterious help from a stranger named Mia, your task is to get back in the race game to work your way to the top of the Blacklist, which is now topped by Razor, who’s using your old car to wipe out the competition. He’s at the bottom of the list, but a few races later, he’s sabotaged your ride and has won it from you in a race. You almost immediately run into a punk named Razor, who’s definitely the sort of dude that lives his life a quarter-mile at a time.
An underground ranking known as the Blacklist governs who can race who, and when. You take on the role of a nameless, faceless new racer attempting to hit the scene in the city of Rockport. The game’s career mode starts out with a hilarious bang. The actual racing hasn’t changed too much, but the ever-present police make this game a whole lot more interesting.
This year’s installment crawls back into the daylight.
