Fun:
This is the weakest NFS title I have played. Hugely disappointing - getting rid of free roam was a mistake, add this to the removal of the police chases, this has killed what was a hugely fun "arcade" racer. EA have clearly tried to compete with the likes of Forza and PGR4 and i'm afraid have failed. They have been caught in no mans land. This is neither as graphically good, nor as realistic as either PGR4 or Forza nor is it as good as previous NFS titles.
If you are a true NFS fan, DON'T BUY THIS, and instead, put Carbon or Most Wanted back in your 360 instead...................unless you want a real racing game in which case buy PGR4 because it is fantastic!
The game ONLY gets 2 stars in view of the still fun and unique customisation options, otherwise - it would be a 1 star game.

Fun:
This game seemed ok on the demo, but once you get inside the full version it is quite dissapointing.
You don't get the same kind of NFS game that has gone before, the cars handling is completely different, they are heavy and hard to turn, no powerslides and arcade handling here that made previous games so much fun.
There is no way to play race categories in groups for instance, like in previous games if you wanted to play point to point or circuit races you could go to that category in Quick race mode and play the game how you wanted, in this there aren't any categories to select race modes, you have to race an event, and the events have one race, several drifts, a drag, a couple of time trials, so the racing is split up and disjointed,and if you don't really care for any of these modes except regular races, known as grip races here, then you will find it annoying to have to keep starting and ending events just to have a quick single race on a certain track for example then have to exit and enter another and go through all the categories and choices again just to play another single race on another track.
The cars handling is unresponsive and heavy, some could say more sim-like and they'd be right, but this means its not very much fun, a few laps round the Mondello race track is enough to bore anyone to death, this isn't NFS's forte, TOCA Race Driver does this sort of thing much better, NFS's strength is fast sportscar racing around circuits in countryside or urban enviroments where arcade handling compliments the track layouts.
The Career mode is identical to the race day events that aren't in the career mode, the only point of the career mode is to get the cars in the game, but because the actual structure of the game is so tedious and unnapealing a lot of players won't feel motivated to wade through this to get a few more cars.
I've been a fan of NFS for a long time and I do wish they'd go back to their roots of centering the game around the worlds most glamourous sports cars, adding videos and data about the cars, including in car dashboard views, and racing in Championships made up of single races, which is what true motorsport is all about, just like in the early games of the 90's. It seems those days are long gone and no doubt, so will be the enthusiasm of many a gamer for this title when they try it themselves.

Fun:
To start off with I feel I should say I didnt go out and specifically buy this game, I purchased my Xbox360 the other day and this came as part of a package deal (along with Halo 3 which is awesome, but thats another story).
I'm not really a fan of driving games (I played a few months worth of Gran Turismo 3 when it first came out on the PS2, but got bored quickly) and havent played any of the Need for Speed series since NFS2 on the PC about a decade ago, so my review includes no comparison to the more recent titles in the series, only a review of this game independently.
To start with the Graphics are excellent as you would expect, the colours, lighting and general effects are superbly done and make a very presentable and realistic picture, no issues here whatsoever.
The gameplay is good, the handling on all the vehicles is realistic, and various modes such as drag races, drift racing and grip races keep the interest up. The career mode works much like it does in the Gran Turismo series, but it is much easier to understand, nice clear menus offer as much or as little as you like in terms of tuning your vehicle(s), for instance if you are so inclined you can tweak the suspension, breaks, gear box settings, spoiler and foil heights for optimum speed and G force, or leave it on the default setting and let the CPU decide whats best.
Unlike a lot of driving games you wont find yourself spinning out at every sharp turn, there is a breaking assistance setting offered to you (I didnt bother with this) to aid getting round the track in one piece, but more handy is a holographic marker set around each track that shows you the best course to follow and when you should be going flat out, or slamming the breaks on to maximise the amount of grip/heat in the tyres, this of course can be switched on or off depending on your skill level or whatever...
I bought my 360 primarily for Halo and the upcoming GTA IV, but I've been addicted to playing this, the Career Mode always drags me back, theres always some extra upgrade to be installed, car to be bought, race to be wonm, test to be performed that keeps me interested, and I'm not normally a fan of driving games. Whether its like the previous episodes in the series I dont know and neither am I interested, what this is, is a highly enjoyable driving game which offers a nice blend of fun, realism and longevity, highly recommended to anyone who has an interest in cars/racing games, and recommended to anyone else who likes games and willing to try something new.
