For those who liked the freeroam in NFS then you should def check this game out you can drive alround the entire island of hawaii.. Playing online is also very fun with loads of people cruising about and stuff.
The handling of the cars anit so bad either they arnt like NFS but getting used to takes some time but when it does its sweet cause you can powerslide & drift alround corners and pull it off burning out the corner leaving the player you just past in a trail of tyre smoke even better when they try to do it themselfs and just loose it and crash and burn. So just for a pointer if your into driving games like NFS then check out Test Drive Unlimited it is serously good fun.
