    How's it working for you?
    For me, it plays smoother than the 1st one. I can play at 1080p, everything on max, but No AA and Blur on medium. I get between 29-45 fps during the day, but I have problems during the night, as it can drop below 25 fps... I am trying to tune the game so my fps wont drop under 28 during the night.

    NFS series has been doomed for a long time now, EA even planned to cancel it.

    Its just another poorly made NFS game yes it has some very good features but they try to make it realistic and instead make it annoying to control.

    The days of Most Wanted and the Sequel Undercover will never be beaten NFSMW was fantastic and still is. Unless they go back to free roaming and crazy high speed police chases and take advantage of the new graphical features available I wont waste my money on it.

    It runs very well on the G73 though I tested it earlier all on high with 1080p without Blur and I get 33 min 39 max.

    NFS series now seperate to 2 diffence kind, cops chase like undercover/hot pursuit and pro racing like shift/shift 2 :) it sucks btw, the only reason why people enjoy playing hot pursuit's because Burn Out developers made it
