I guess the cost being too much depends on how many of those 13 events are Time Trials or Rapid Response, and how many are the actual fun Hot Pursuit, Interceptor, Race parts of the game.

@bittermang That's my main gripe with the game. How are you going to put just a few hot pursuit races in a game called hot pursuit? I truly despise the rapid response runs but they do teach you good driving and shortcuts. Online is perfect though.

@bittermang That's great. I agree. I hope they continue coming out with new DLCs like they did with Burnout Paradise. I was hoping they would extend the map area and gives us more miles to explore but we'll have to wait and see.

@bittermang I hope more for free DLC like they did with Burnout Paradise. They showed early on that if you give people enough free content FIRST that they'll happily pay for more later on.

I'm pretty excited about this. Do any of you guys wish you could have free roam in multiplayer?

@mattyonesix I don't so much wish for that as much as I just wish there was a reason for free roaming to exist. It's probably the most pointless mode I've ever found in any game I've ever played.

Otherwise, the game is fantastic. I'll be grabbing this DLC pack on day one. I love that it comes with more then just cars and adds new events as well. Would love to see some new achievements/trophies attached to the events too.

I find myself rarely interested in buying new cars for racing games. I mean, the difference between 50 cars and 53 cars isn't really noticeable to me. Maybe "car guys" would care about this more, but for me, what's already on the disc is plenty (and the game itself is awesome).

I've been enjoying Hot Pursuit quite a bit. I didn't dislike Burnout Paradise, but I felt it wasn't the right direction for the Burnout series. To me, Hot Pursuit felt more Burnout-ish than Burnout Paradise. I love the aggressiveness of the Burnout series, and Paradise just seemed to shy away from that. Also, it had the *worst* incarnation of Crash Mode. Bring back the puzzle-esque Crash Mode of Burnout 3!

To go further off topic, I think the next Burnout should take a step back and bring back some elements of Burnout 1 (I unfortunately haven't played Burnout 2, so I can't comment on that one). The streets felt incredibly real and it felt like you were dodging real traffic; the traffic itself was the key element of the races, whereas in Burnout 3 it was more like a tool to try and eliminate other players. Finding a sweet spot between Burnout 1's focus on navigating traffic skillfully and Burnout 3's rough and dirty racing would be excellent.

I was hoping to be free, but then again I think they couldn't reach the 1 million mark on the youtube video. Shame....

@SilverPR

These are 3 different cars then the 3 cars in the YouTube promo.

As for this being sold? I will not be buying, but I will still be playing the game. Part of me was hoping the would following in Burnout Paradise footsteps, but this is a different game/franchise.

However if they open up more locations on the map, add race replays, and add in free roam multiplayer? I will be buying those on day one if they do not get too greedy.

@SilverPR

the free cars would've been a different set of 3 cars; it was for convertible versions of a Bentley Continental, a Lambo, and a Dodge Viper.

With Criterion track record, I hope they keep DLC coming our way.

@SilverPR They announced the Youtube promotion way too early, there was no way they were going to reach that many views in such a short period of time especially when the only place I heard about it was HERE.

Yet another game that came to PC, yet the DLC didn't. Why port the game but not the DLC? At least make it a SteamWorks game and sell the DLC through Steam.

@ipsum I liked this one a bit, it just wasn't one I would come back to every day to play. I guess it's because there aren't as many stunts to pull off. I still really love cruising through freeroam and taking snapshots.

I've never played a NFS game before so I didn't know what to expect but I'm very impressed after what I heard was a bad series. Did the other games have stunt ramps and boost or were they just pure racers?

And I'm guessing that they didn't put FreeRoam Multiplayer in because it might take away from what the Burnout Paradise has/had. Still, free drive cops and racers would be awesome. I think there is something like that in game actually but it is only 1v1.

@Resident Evil 6 Puppie Madness There are several Bugattis as well as the other cars, each one having slightly altered stats and skins. In a way this download is trival but the major question is whether the events they add will be worth the money.
