Need For Speed needed a reboot. After the disgrace of the last Need For Speed, EA has taken things differently. Moving away from the arcade style racer to more of a sim. Has this paid off? IGN thinks so with their review of the game.

Final Score=8.7/10

Eau Rouge, Pouhon and Blanchimont; the holy trinity of corners that form the backbone of Belgium's Spa Francorchomps, long recognised as one of the greatest tracks in modern-day use, and have bloodied many a nose in the past. Eau Rouge is a fast uphill switchback, long since tamed by single-seater cars and their pounds of downforce but still a thrill in its own right. Pouhon's retained its challenge, teasing drivers in with a fast entry and then slapping them in the face with its unforgiving exit, and Blanchimont, while looking like nothing but a kink from afar, has a concrete barrier waiting at its conclusion for anyone who underestimates it.

    I guess this has it decided, I'm buying Forza 3 over this then. Of course barring a absolute epic fail from the makers of Forza, which I am more than sure won't happen.
