Need for Speed Hot Pursuit vs. Most Wanted Handling

Hey guys,
I was thinking of buying the new Nfs Most Wanted game in a week or two, since I REALLY liked Hot Pursuit. (on Ps3)
The thing that really made the game for me was the handling of the cars, it just went so smooth.
Now I'm wondering, since they're both Criterion games, is the handling in Most Wanted as good? Since if it's not, I probably won't buy it.
(I'm asking people who have played both games (HP 2010 and MW 2012), obviously)

Edit: I've looked for a demo on PSN, but I couldn't find one, although several websites say there should be. What's up with that?

@onigiri123: That's already a good start, I'm really hoping there's still a demo available in Europe.
@Skieth: I played revenge on the ps2, it was quite fun, but I'm not really concerned about the 'gameplay', more about the handling (I know, it's part of the gameplay..).
But since it plays like a criterion game, I suggest the cars drive like Hot Pursuit?

Well if you're going for NFS Most Wanted, it plays a little more like Burnout rather than NFS. It's an open world game, and if you've played Critereon's Burnout Paradise, it's fairly similar to it. So in all honesty, NFS Most Wanted seems more like a Burnout Paradise 2, just under the NFS franchise.

@Orange: I'd have to say yes for control: although this might be because you needed to deploy oil slicks etc.

I don't think that I can confirm due to regions.

@onigiri123: Oh, that's good to hear.
Can you explain what's better? Is it more controlled, does it feel more natural, ...?
Also: I'm not at home right now, so could anyone confirm if there's a demo on PSN?
