sim but with open eviroments like their old games in the country like nfs 3 hp but with realisitic cars and the ability to upgrade them and customize them I gotta say I really like the feel of nfs shift and I liked pro street as well but shift blows it out of the water but I would like to see a nfs that has both tracks and road play with realistic cars yet able to upgrade tune and make them look how u would like to.. just no more of that cheezy underground wanna be fast and furious bs with the bs effect of using nos and blur effect. Either way I think with the last 2 nfs pro street and now shift they are going in the right direction again lets just hope the next is more open with more cars like forza 3 still being able to tune customize and the option to race on a track or a street with the option to run from the cops or to just take it to the track then race from the cops on your way home from the track meet
lol i was about to say there is a free roam and track NFS , NFS underground 2 but then i read your part saying bout cheezy underground haha lol =/
