WHAT'S THE DEAL? EA's humungous-selling street racing franchise leaves the cop chases and gang mentalism for all-out track speed-offs.

WHAT WILL I BE DOING? Revving up in a large library of licensed cars, burning out in all types of races, and getting your mitts dirty in the spectacular tuning section.

ANY GOOD? It ain't half-bad: super fast, massive crashes, and a decent blend of arcade nuttiness and sim-like grit. Handling can be a wooden, mind.

BEST BIT: Flooring it in a drag race and then retching through sheer video game speed. Splattery!
