Looks awesome Ntwlf, I've been trying to compare it with The Crew and for the multi online and content aspect, I am favoring The Crew. Hell I may get both. Your thoughts on comparing the two would be interesting.

Thanks Nate152 for the comparison (vs.) find. After viewing, it's hard to pick one over the other. The Need for Speed car engine sound is a little more realistic, as opposed to The Crew Wild Run that sounds kind of like a tin can. It's not an issue though. The Crew Wild Run seems to be more open world from the damage characteristics at the end of the video. Outside of these two things I have mentioned, I can't tell any real difference between the two just from the video Nate152 found.
I have found a critique review of Need for Speed, but I question what platform the reviewer was playing it on. It had to be either console or a pre-release PC version prior to final release, since he commented that there was no manual transmission. The video was published on January 25,2016 as well.
I not discouraged by any of it, as I'll be adding it to my game collection soon anyway.
Thanks for bringing up "The Crew" for comparison. I look forward to getting it as well after finishing my PC Build so I can really enjoy gaming.
Something else I'd like to add for "All" that are interested in the new "Need for Speed", when you do a youtube search for the game type in "Need for Speed 2016", this should weed out most of the console review versions.
