Bottom Line: Hardly playable

This game is full of audio glitches, stutters and suffers from a slow frame rate most of the time. Definitely not recommended for play on the Xbox 360, no matter how cheap you can find it.

And to add to the really poor performance, EA has yanked their online servers so you won't be playing this game online no matter which platform you play it on.

Bottom Line: Wrong aspect ratio and No Hood view

Well i remember playing my NFSu2 on play station 2 and it had hood vew Since i ported to Xbox360 of obvious reasons ;-) well what i found out was not only it had problems with cut scens but the hood view is missing, and about display all cars seem squashed i tried changing vew to wide screen and normal 4:3 aspcet ratio but no good car look like small hotweels toy cars. no options inside the game or in xbox consloe resolved the problem i tried ever thing but no luck

guess its a backward compitability issue..

Bottom Line: This is why people complain about subpar backward compatibility

From the moment the EA logo runs you can tell this game has problems. Even that 2 second video clip skips.

All of the full motion video clips skip, making the audio sometimes unable to decipher, sometimes just super annoying. Since these video clips tell you info about the game plot and modes it is a big disappointment.

Now onto the game itself. The framerate looks like it's around 20-30 fps. I hear it runs a solid 30 on the Xbox. For me this kills the gameplay but for some people they would not mind.

This game belongs on a list of partially backward compatible Xbox games for the 360. Had I known it had these issues I never would have bought the game, now I'm stuck with it since gamestores do not take refunds on opened games.

It is okay that most Xbox games do not work on the 360, it is not OK for Microsoft to lie and pretend that games like NFSU2 run fine when they do not. This is my first bad experience with the 360 thus far, overall I've been very pleased with the 360 as a console.
