This game has been talked about for quite some time. The hype has been quite inducing as well. It was pushed back a number of times, but it's finally out as of midnight of November 24th.

Waiting until Black Friday wasn't an option for me. Even though it was released just tonight, five hours later, I received the last of four stocked copies at the store I went to. How is it for everyone else? I have yet to play because I decided to install it into my hard drive so that loading times wouldn't be a pain.

And honestly, the twenty minutes you spend waiting for the game content to be installed into your HD is much better than waiting out the load times. This is definitely a time-saver in the long run and I highly suggest that you do so, not only with this game, but with any game you get.

I've heard that only premium cars will get the cockpit views, which isn't such a good job since most of my favorites are standard. And No VECTOR M12 IN THIS GAME! Seriously I was hoping for that! Any real reason why it took them 5 years to make this game. I was expecting 2 or 3.

Guess What.... MAXIMUM PWNAGE!!!

Well, if you look at most big franchises like Metal Gear Solid, Final Fantasy, and Gran Theft Auto [and this one included], it took long to produce their games because they had to adapt to the new hardware. Now that everything is already planned for the PS3, they can produce their games faster!

And, yes, it's quite true that premium cars are the only one's that get the cockpit view. Honestly though, some of the views can be distracting.

It's not the best out of the series. But the graphics are awesome though
