	Seems like the NFS series is really on the decline, and their yearly release schedule is likely what's to blame. Most Wanted was great, and really brought forth the strong points of the series' arcade nature, while also adding to it (tuning your car in the pause menu, for example). Carbon felt a bit like a cheap copy and had a terrible single-player experience, where your car choices were limited by cash and the tracks were largely unimpressive. Pro Street was a step in the wrong direction, losing the arcadey fun without having the precise physics and controls of PGR, Forza, or GRID. If, for whatever reason, the story sections are doomed to stay, they could at least make them useful. Toss in options or special goals explained by the story (ie take out a racer, win by a certain margin, collect something along the way, drift for x points in addition to winning) and make them work with an RPG-lite system that allows you to win favor with cops, crooks, and neutral sponsors and unlock special races, cars, and parts, in addition to bonus cash. It'd be an easy way to add depth and replayability, and to reward more than just coming in first. Keep the arcade nature of the series, keep tuning simple and flexible, add some depth and please, for the love of Ba'al, if you expect us to take your cutscenes seriously, make a serious effort. When my eight year old cousin finds them unbelievable and ridiculous (and he near-religiously follows a few anime series), it's time to drop the green-screen and get some real actors.

	Great. Why don't they just stop with this storyline nonsense? I don't want an RPG racing game, I want an RPG game with some RPG elements. Meaning I improve the driver with weird shit like 'clean shifter'(transmissions last twenty percent longer) or 'friend of the metal' (engines mysteriously gain two horsepower for every game month the car is owned, up to a maximum ten horsepower). I buy and sell cars, parts of cars and make custom decals! I mean if Forza could do it AGES ago, why the hell are these developers playing with kids stuff?? It's sad.
