The latest chapter in the venerable Need for Speed franchise plays like "The Fast and the Furious" crossed with Risk with a dash of "West Side Story." As the game begins, a race gone bad has sent you packing, and you've come back home to win back your cred, your turf and your girlfriend by outracing your enemies and Johnny Law. Aside from the ludicrous story and janky framerate, the production values are generally top-notch and the online mode is frenetic cops-and-tuners fun.
