I finally beat the last racer to get the final 350 gamerpoints. There's a police chase afterwards before I'm 'treated' to the end movie, and the 50 different challenges to complete, but I really can't be bothered.
The game seems quite promising, the police chases are fun but the races are controller throwing-ly frustrating. The cheating AI means its not a test of skill to win but of pure endurance to see if you can make it to the end without wanting to set fire to the Xbox.
I really, really don't want to play it any more. I might fight my way to the ending to see the laugable FMV, then I'm trading it in. I don't care how much I get for it. I dont even mind if I have to pay them to take it off my hands. Its like the One Ring. Ive got to ditch it before it destroys my very soul.
I found the extra chase (in the BMW M3) at the end of the game seriosuly challenging. If you look where you need to get to (the bridge marked by dougnut on the opposide of the map) its a fair old way to goe, esp when the heat levelis constanyl at max. However, its kinda worth doing as you get to a nice cut scene when you complete it (its cool as tbh) anmd you can use the M3 for online play too.
UPDATE: been playing NFS:Carbon lately. A much better game btw. Get 1000 in this and you do deserve kudos.
