    No, NFS world in my opinion is really bad. TDU2 is really bad too but world is just worse and that tells something.

    Gotta agree with maguns here, because in World, if you have any "powers", the race is guranteed to be won; no skill evolved at all. Tge map is small and same as Carbon; and the general feeling is terrible.

    Also, pretty poorly coded.

    Considering its free, (as long as you're happy with the stock cars) Its a good game, Download it and give it a try. The world is a bit on the small side, but hey, its FREE.

    Very true, but I've managed to get a fair few hours of fun out of it. I know any game is opinionated, thats why I think the OP should download it and give it a try. Then they can make their own mind up. :)

    I played both and TDU2 is wayyyy better. TDU2 is a really great game! NFS is very arcade for me, like it has power ups and what not when racing. The city is pretty boring and after a couple of hours it gets repetitive.

    The only thing NFS world does better than TDU2 is the tuning and mods for your car.
