First, I know we have a limited platform for the Wii, but some of the inner-city driving looks too bland. It's the same texture, over and over.

Hell, the decrepit NFS:High Stakes, and even Hot Pursuit had better visuals than the Wii version and that's a PS1-era game.<br><br>I know it's too late for EA to change that visual style now, but I wish they would have done some amount of initial focus group research to see what others felt.
