Let’s gooooooo! I loved this game on the ps2 and GameCube 😭
Why port this ?! Why not Mass Effect ?!
@theabstractart This particular one is the 360 and PS3 era one however.... Still awesome though!
Where's the review NintendoLife? You guys usually have reviews out before the games launch.
If anyones playing this on the Switch, add me : SW-0362-6818-9209
Was this game affected by EA's decision to end all online services for most (or all) of the Need For Speed games May 31, 2021?
@BornInNorway81 No it doesn't
