no, really really no, really really really no. The game is just horrendous. THE NFS series is leagues and leagues above this.

To be fair though, NFS
S is arguably the worst in the series since High Stakes.

Completed this tonight, it's not too bad in a 'going through the motions' kind of way. It is very different from Juiced however, where the handling is very unforgiving on anything other than FWD cars.
Most of the races are pretty easy and things get a bit repetitive after a while. Money is easy to come by and I finished the game with well over $25m in the bank. Drifting is kinda cool although the handling is ridiculous, in most games you drift at around 45-90 degrees whereas in J2:HIN you are often at more like 75-150 degrees.
The whole game is extremely arcadey (more so than the NFS series), the closest game I can think of to it is Street Racing Syndicate. One of the most unforgivable things is the fact that the framerate is capped at a jerky 30fps. The game doesn't look that amazing and I'm sure my system is capable of more - the only time I saw it dip under 30 was on a couple of the drift tracks which tend to be very open, and that was at 1680x1050x32 8xAA 16xAF max settings.
All in all I was say it is a very average game, not worth getting if you are the type of gamer who likes a challenge or a bit of realism in a racing game.

I just had a go of this game myself and came here to see if anyone else had complained about the 30fps limiter. What were they thinking locking it to 30 on a PC?!
At first I thought the framerate looked low and I wondered if my PC wasn't up to running it on max settings, but then I tried fraps and it is a solid 30 :/ Makes you wonder the point of having a powerful PC when games like this don't make use of it!
Is there any way of turning the limiter off?
One in the eye for those who think you can't tell the difference between 30 and 60, or that it makes no difference to gameplay. You can and it does.

It's basically because it's a console port and they CBA to tweak it too much for PC - with NTSC TVs being 60hz, it can cause problems if the hardware can't deliver a constant 60fps. So what they do is halve it down to 30fps to try and keep things looking smooth for console gamers. Same thing happens in C&C3/RA3 - locked at 30fps with no way of changing it :/
Not quite as bad as NFSro Street - that has unlimited FPS out of the box, but as soon as you apply the patch (sorry, "booster pack") it's locked at 30fps. How crazy is that, the game wasn't designed from the ground up with 30fps, they actually went out of their way to change it a patch (hence I reinstalled the game and didn't patch it).
