Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
The gameplay is exciting, with races, stunts, and spy missions.
31 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
Track design is for the most part very boring and playing every mission feels like jumping to another map in the basic rotation where you will do a mission with no context story of everything.
26 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Controls
Players who bring up Controls mostly praise it.
In terms of controls, if you are playing on keyboard I recommend remapping your controls to whatever suits you, if you are playing on controller I recommend changing your controller to the second preset as it is the same controls as on PS3/360.
15 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
The controls and maneuvers feel super smooth, and it includes a lot of cool set pieces from the film, like all the racers, great maps, and a killer soundtrack.
