even the new NFS: Hot Pursuit sucks. there hasn't been a good NFS since Most Wanted came out on the Gamecube. I'm hoping the new Most Wanted for the PS3 will change my opinion. if the new NFS ends up sucking then i guess the racing genre in games is dead. because every other racing game is just your typical arcade style racer. except the gran turismo games but i've never liked those anyways.
