One area I forgot the rate:

User Interface: C-

NFS has always had a bad user interface. The original 3DO version was
the worst, the PC version and SE slightly better. The NFS II interface
is mostly redone but it's no better. The "you have to cycle through
all options to get to the one you want" menus are annoying and
cumbersome.

EA really needs to hire a good user interface expert (Note: This
should be their *second* priority after hiring a good gameplay
expert.)

Well said Joe, all of it.  You took every word and
thought I had about the game and put it down
perfectly.  Hopefully we'll head off hundreds of
people from being suckered into this piece of
crap.   Sorry EA,  NFS 1 STILL rules....you're
going backwards.

I agree with all the reviews of this CRAPPY sequel.  I hope everyone is
complaining to EA and NOT just to other gamers.  most importantly - vote with
your WALLET - DON'T BUY this loser and if you already did - TAKE IT BACK!

EA needs to bite the big one on this.  Let's burn 'em with a whole warehouse of
NFS2 inventory.....
