On sale for how much? Personally, I thought it was very underwhelming. The driving model is fun and feels pretty good, but the way the game is set up leaves a lot to be desired. There are only 6 people allowed on what is a pretty huge map, and setting up races or other events with other people is basically impossible. Much of the game is built around multiplayer, yet it doesn't do nearly enough to try and actually get that stuff to work the way it was intended. It would've been a much more exciting game if the player count was even just doubled, because the rare occasion of chasing down another person as a cop or escaping from one is thrilling, and its risk/reward system with experience is interesting.
If it's cheap enough, then go for it. It's alright for a little while, but I wouldn't expect to get a whole lot out of it.
I played it on PS4 last year and kind of liked it. The cops game is kind of fun. When playing the racer side the cops just are kind of in the way. But if you've played Most Wanted and liked it, it's more stuff like that. The story they try to tell is dumb.
I thought it was kind of boring, but I guess depending on how much you enjoy driving games, your mileage may vary(seewhatididthere). Also, the way it turns the radio off and plays generic score ANYTIME you get into a car chase is the worst. As dumb as it may seem, that actually totally jacked the game up for me. Nothing felt as exciting as it should, and nothing felt like it flowed well. I realize that it is a completely personal pet peeve, though.
