Tightly bunched together skyscrapers lead to high speed motorways and idyllic suburbs. The cities which are reminiscent of US metropolitan areas are visually satisfying with a high degree of diversity. On the subject of fun: Criterion has clearly made an effort when it comes to the development of the gaming confines. With the speakers or headphones turned up to a high volume, the game could be twice as much fun. Combined with the potent motor sounds, this results in a perfect sound experience. The driving soundtrack contains songs from popular artists such as Muse, The Who, Green Day, Skrillex and The Chemical Brothers.
EA and Criterion have opted for a colorful mixture of different genres as could be expected. The audio backdrop doesn't do the opulent graphics an injustice by any means - quite the opposite.
