NFS Heat is a pretty decent combination between the original Most Wanted and Carbon. Good graphics and fun game play. A few minor complaints, such as active traffic appearing seemingly out of nowhere sometimes during some races. Not common but it kills your position in the race for something you couldn't have avoided. Cops are dumby strong early game, but get a bit easier as you level up. Earning money can be tedious late game when you want to build whatever you want, look up a guide for best earning. The drift events are also stupid hard unless you know how to play with manual shifting. I am dumb, and had never done so before.

Has a fair variety of events. Off road, drift, and standard street. Discovery race is absolutely wonderful when you get farther into the game. Making ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ cars go brrrr is really entertaining. The decal editor is really clean is really easy to use.

I know I said more negatives than positives but that's because negatives are usually what kills games for people.
Overall not worth at full price, but during a sale if you want it, pick it up.
