Street racing steps up a gear in the latest offering from EA.

For the first time in a Need for Speed game you're challenged with building a crew and racing in an all-out war for your city. Risking everything, you will race against rival crews and opposing car classes to take over neighborhoods one street at a time.

Each of your crew members have unique skills, which you can trigger during races to give you the winning edge. Call on a Blocker to create a distraction and slow down other racers or a Scout to lead you to shortcuts on the track.

As the police turn up the heat and force the races to the outskirts of the city, the battle ultimately shifts to Carbon Canyon, where territories and reputations can be lost on every perilous curve.

Use your creativity to design your crew's cars with the revolutionary new Autosculpt car customization tool, which gives you the power to turn every vehicle into the car you've always wanted.

• Race for control of the city block-by-block by taking down rival crews on their own turf
• The new Autosculpt car customization tool gives you the power to design and morph your car in every way imaginable
• Every car is tuneable so you can customize their look and performance to suit your crew
