A 74 average on few ratings — judge this one for yourself. A racing game that keeps it simple — no gimmicks, just the game. Worth it for the campaign alone — the multiplayer stuck around and became its own thing.

About this game

Race against time, outsmart the cops, and take on weekly qualifiers to reach The Grand, Lakeshore's ultimate street racing challenge. Pack your garage with precision-tuned, custom rides and light up the streets with your style, exclusive fits, and a vibrant global soundtrack that bumps in every corner of the world.

In the city of Lakeshore, you, your partner Yaz, and mechanic Rydell run a repair and mod shop...until a shocking betrayal by Yaz leaves the shop underfunded and threatened for shutdown. Two years later, after you meet a girl named Tess and help her escape the cops, she decides to work with you and Rydell to raise money and enter the Grand, the city's biggest street race, to take back your ride and become the best in the city.
