hey peeps,need for speed world is now live

i have been playing it for a few hours,it is abit buggy graphic wise and the world is abit off but overall gameplay is good.

i had abit of trouble getting past the profile create screen and changeing settings but that may of been due to the server.

I've been testing it in 2 of the closed beta sessions so far. I'm not tempted to try the open beta at all, didn't like the game one bit. It seems like a rehash of Underground 2/carbon but with a very multiplayer focus. Gameplay is shallow, AI dim, loads of bugs (more than I expected in a beta, very poor optimisation too) and nothing original to convince me it's going to be a good game. If it's your thing, great, but it seems a bit of a lazy cash in on an ailing franchise that is the 'old school' NFS titles. The latest version of Hot Pursuit looks promising though, and it came to me as no surprise that this was a result of the input of Criterion Games (Burnout series) who've made some brilliant arcade racers. Non the less, even that isn't totally original, though I think that won't stop it from being an enjoyable game.
