Positive: Looks very good. UI very clean (With the exception of director mode). Models are good. SFX is very reminiscent of the old games. In terms of polish, its looks very good.
Needs: Shortcuts could do with some spawning tweaks to limit the amount of cars I have to dodge coming out of and into a shortcut. why learn the map if your shortcuts are useless in an already unforgiving game. Safezones from cop spawns when you are extremely close to objectives. I don't want my level progress taken away because I get spawned on with less than 10 seconds to get to lose the cops. Gravity rework and more forgiving stunt jump physics. Why have crazy jumps if I can't land them organically in chases? Also: The ability to skip an intro cutscene after 2nd replay. Just because it was a quirk of the old games doesn't mean it's a good idea.
