    Terrible graphics, seems worst than 10 years old Need for Speed: Undercover - stupid gameplay, awful keybinding, crappy music.

    absolutely don't worth your time at all.

    First: why devs thought that would be cool to make the car drift-steering all? Really? I mean, drifting is cool, I know. But why would drift in a circuit race. You are literally losing precious seconds down there. Just that kills the game for me, so annoying. Second: absolutely piece of crappy music. Too generic, please, give us the good and    absolutely don't worth your time at all.

    In general. Won the first 2 races with easy, but couldn't handle how the car handle in this game (car with soap tires i suppose).

    If you are looking for a game similar of what Forza Horizon is, you came to the wrong place, pal.

    Not worth even with 95% discount. Deleted after 1st race. Controls awful and crap in garage like - you must buy deluxe edition to own this car, you must buy preorder edition to own this car. No plot just - hey you must make your reputation to be cool...

    All right. I'll start with the good stuff.
    Tunning options: This is the biggest strength of this game in my opinion. There are very many modifications from spoilers to underbody lighting to modifying the exhaust sound. This combined with the licenses of many brands like Brembo and co is just awesome and it's really fun to tune your car simply because there are so many possibilities.
    So    All right. I'll start with the good stuff.

This combined with the licenses of many brands like Brembo and co is just awesome and it's really fun to tune your car simply because there are so many possibilities.

    So and that is it in my opinion already with the good stuff. Now for the bad

    Graphics: Permanently there are bugs and co and generally the game is not really diverse here. Before each race there is the same cut scene, that could have been done better.

    Multiplayer & Server: Here I can not say much except that it is really just really bad. There is a permanent message that the server will be shut down soon and sometimes you are kicked out of the online mode. If you want to race against other players, the first difficulty is to find someone. When this happens, skill doesn't matter anymore because whoever has the car with more power wins automatically unless he's really stupid. Too bad it could have been done so much better.

    Handling: The worst thing in my opinion is the drift behavior of the car. It is simply bad. It doesn't really matter which car you drive as long as the engine performance is good, you can drift with any car. You don't notice any difference between RWD & FWD & AWD. This should be present even in an arcade game like NFS Heat. Bad job EA!

    Speed: 300mph+ are no problem. Of course NFS Heat is not a simulation but it should be at least a little bit realistic. What EA has delivered here is really just missing the reality.

    Story:
    It is just monotonous and boring. It's not really fun and fortunately it's not long either. Then you don't have to spend too long with it. In the end you get a BMW that is much faster than everything else in the story, but when you get it yourself it is slow as a snail. What EA calls missions or so is neither challenging nor entertaining. The crash missions are the most pointless thing ever, because you take more damage than you deal and so you would lose automatically, but the AIs you are supposed to crash partly destroy each other.

    Police: Police chases are without a doubt part of NFS, but they are also so bad and not balanced at all. In principle there are a few spots where you just drive around and then you lose the cops automatically because they simply destroy themselves or are just too stupid.

    Small details: There is no first person perspective, you can't open or close the tops of roadsters and so on. Such small details would have been really great but EA has probably saved on the budget.

    In addition, the development was discontinued and all bugs and money glitches will probably remain forever.

    At the end of the day, these are not even all the problems of this game. Don't buy the game no matter how cheap it is. Free would still be too expensive. A score of 2 for the tunning.    … Expand

    The handling is atrocious. Feels like there's input delay with the steering, i'm not sure if this was an intentional thing to make it "feel" different but it just leads to all cars having this sluggish feeling.

    Checkpoints in the races are often in places that don't make sense in regards to cornering so you will miss them then need to backtrack. It forces use not to use blatant shortcuts round corners which are naturally what your brain would choose to do... Either be "free-roam" or linear.

    Police are psychotic and will drive full blast into a head-on collision with you down the freeway.
    On top of that you can only take a few measly hits before you're totalled so you are just constantly going to and from petrol stations to heal.. and then you'll need to find a jump of some sort to evade them as EVERY cop car will be able overtake you no matter how tuned up your car is.

    The police chases very quickly spiral into something no living sane person can escape from leading to you losing all of your hard work. Of course that is the point but it can easily be down to reasons out of your control. A bit more health/survivability could be given to you imo.

    The graphics are nice, however I found it difficult sometimes to make out where the track even is in the built-up areas as it's TOO pretty and dreamy. The track markings can blur into the surroundings and sometimes even the mini-map is not completely clear about where the turning is.

    Customization is OK. But navigating through the selection of items is painstaking, with a controller at least.

    Just more hassle than it's worth.    … Expand

    Графика - 4/10 - серая днем, бледно-фиолетовая ночью. Когда у вас есть чудесный ночной NFS 2015 и красивый яркий дневной Payback, вы выпускаете это зернистое мыло с травой из майнкрафта.
    Физика - 3/10 - хуже чем в пейбек, и тем более чем в пятнажке. Деревья и столбы и СУКA БЕТОННЫЕ СТЕНЫ как ни в чём ни бывало. Я конечно понимаю аркада, но не настолько. Система дривна просто уже, в этой игре самый худший дрифт за всю серию нфс. Скорость вообще не почувствовал, не знаю как это описать

    Музыка 3/10 - ужасная музыка, 80 процентов которой вообще не подходит под гонки, + нет рока композиции. Муызка создаёт атмосферу, следовательно здесь и не пахнет ей. Хоть бы сделали так, чтобы я мог ночную музыку поставить днем, но они даже этого не сделали. В гонках днем ваще 5 треков всего.
    Сюжет 3/10 - единственная игра, где мне было АБСОЛЮТНО ВСЕ РАВНО НА ГЕРОЕВ, он сырой, кринжовый, нету нормальных сюжетных миссий, как в Payback например. "Какая нахрен команда, вы мне ваще не всарались бл**ь"
    Кол-во автомобилей, тюнинг, прокачка и тп - 9/10. Пожалуй ,единственный плюс игры. Впервые в нфс столько машин, 100+, большинство из которых добротно модифицируются. ДА здесь даже звук выхлопа можно поменять, где такое видано??? Персонажа тоже можно одеть , при чём в БРЕНДОВЫЕ ШМОТКИ, это ваще отвал бошки, мелочь, а приятно. Единственный минус чисто для меня, нельзя отрегулировать машину, как в нфс 2015, ну впрочем здесь столько подвесок, шин и диффов, так что отрегулировать под себя можно таким образом
    Геймплей - 6/10 - довольно скучноватый, игра не предоставляет стимула играть дальше
    , плюс мертвый город. Ну и для кого-то плюс, это открытый мир
    Итоговая оценка: 4/10
    до этого (по моему мнению) Payback - 7/10
    NFS 2015 - 8/10
    Довольно скучноватая игра, хотя я возможно просто в гонки переиграл. После сюжетных миссий с бмв дальше доигрывать не стал, проходил через силу. В общем мне, сторожиле аркадных гонок не понравилось, MW 2012 опять же зацепил даже больше    … Expand

    In the "Deluxe" version, the BMW and Mercedes are both locked to levels. You need to reach either level 10 or 18 to use them. While the two Evo's you can use, but feel slow driving. I stopped playing this game once I got to level 5. In Night mode I had 5 cops chase me in my Evo, cops crashed me into a wall (I couldn't reverse somehow) and I lost all my REP. Somehow EA thought it was a great idea to give cops NOS? How does that make sense?

    After reaching level 5 and losing all my REP that I earned in Night mode, I told myself let me do this again, but I couldn't. I just don't have an satisfaction in doing it all over again. I don't mind if we lost money when we got Busted, but our RP in order to level up? Seems a bit too much. Maybe tie that mechanic to Hard mode, not Medium. Heat is trying to be too many games in one. I feel like it's trying to be like The Crew 2, Forza Horizon and Grid all in one. The concept is nice although the execution of the idea was horrible.

    [h1]Overview[/h1]

    Need for Speed Heat is the same as in previous years, drift around a corner in order to catch up... If you don't you will lose speed and lose the race. I don't understand what Game Designer or Creative Director thinks drifting is still "hot." No one wants to drift 24/7 in arcade racing games. Give us actual racing games. Stop it EA, this isn't Mario Kart.

    Please EA, adopt what Rockstar Games had. Bring back Midnight Club style racing. That kind of racing style, bring that and people will flock to your racing games. But sadly, EA doesn't understand this. A huge market is there for arcade racing games, and Xbox has it in the bag at the moment.

    Pros:
    - A fictional Miami (although not accurate)
    - Night (not the actual mode itself)
    - Music
    - Graphics
    - Car selection
    - Customization

    Cons:
    - The fictional Miami is lackluster with no AI pedestrians and a lack of AI cars. Nothing draws you into the city wanting you to come back to the game or just roam freely.
    - Drifting
    - Going 200 MPH feels like the car is going 40 MPH.

    Whoever was the Game Designer or Creative Director on this game ruined this game, it had potential but it became The Crew 2 with the same handling mechanics.    … Expand

The textures look absolutely terrible (except on the car) every sign, clothing, shoes, flags, everything is pixelated when playing on the HIGH PRESET. It's absolutely insane how bad this game looks. The controls are okay but driving feels clunky and stiff. For me personally, the best driving experience is still from Forza games and this game (Need for Speed games in general) can't come close to Forza. I regret spending money on this game and will refund it soon. The last time I played a good NFS game was payback. As I said the game looks absolutely terrible and the driving is pretty awful, the drifting is unsatisfying and I could go on.

    So, I wanted to like the game, but analyzing the single player experience (which is the one I was looking for) made me see how shallow it was. Bad story (if we can even call it an actual story), lack of meaningful actions and some tedious grinding. Maybe it's good as a multiplayer game, and the driving feels... ok, I guess? but that's about it I can give to this game.

    Cannot disable chromatic aberration in nfs heat.

    chro·mat·ic ab·er·ra·tion: the material effect produced by the refraction of different wavelengths of electromagnetic radiation through slightly different angles, resulting in a failure to focus. It causes colored fringes in the images produced by uncorrected lenses.

    Police has the most annoying rubber-banding ever. On top of that, nothing in the game tells you how to get police off your tail in this game. In MW it was special destructible areas, marked on the map. Here, I spent solid three hours with police cars gangraping me on heat lvl 2. I gave up and googled, and apparently you have to lead them to bridges now - again, nothing tells you this in game. In addition, once police chase starts, game pulls off an invisible timer - even if you are driving in a high speed, so result is comical situations like you escaping police and getting busted a second after.

    In-game characters are beyond ugly, they are terrifying. I get that it is a racing game, but fma, I want to vomit each time a cutscene comes up. Campaign has weird missions (both gameplay and storytelling-wise).

    Such a shame, because this games drives much better than last two. They were very close to make driving feel good. Physics/driving is not as good as lets say, Driveclub or Forza, but is enjoyable too.    … Expand

    6. you reveal the shady business again but with "more racers" where you catch the bad guy and done.

    These are all the missions, basically in 8 or so races.

    The rest is just RP farm during the night, $$ farm during the day. No leader-board to get up in rank in the day races / Showdown, no underground ranking list (blacklist?) to be the best outlaw racer... no "Part 2" of the story, just that you catch the bad guy and done.

    It's basically an open world Ryse: Son of Rome where there are multiple mechanics to experience but you only do so a couple of times when in fact you could do them multiple times (in separate missions) and add value to the game.

    Buy it at your own risk, the game is Incredibly short. The game-play is solid, the night chase could be frustrating if you get caught (you lose a lot of money, not just your night RP gained) and the day time racing is OK-ish.

    2.The server connection;
    The servers have poor connection.And no it's not my Internet connection if you are wondering.One day i was playing casually when the game server crashed not once but twice.Really EA,really?.You can't even manage your own servers right!Shame on you.

    3.Damage mechanic;
    I don't know why but EA decided to add the damage mechanic from Need for Speed Rivals.You know that damage bar next to the speedometer.In my opinion i hate it.Because it just makes the game harder plus even if you tap just a tiny bit a traffic car,it still causes damage.

    4.The Frostbite engine
    The Frostbite engine is absolutely butter.The physics are trash,the frame rate is poor and as i mentioned earlier the drifting.Also why dosen't EA move to a new engine.Seriously!They used the exact same engine for 7 years since Need for Speed Rivals.Why don't they use better game engines like Unreal Engine.I'm mad!

    5.No steering support;
    Really EA?

    6.No first person camera
    Seriously EA really dosen't bother with first person.Most of the series had no first person camera except for The original need for speed and Need for speed Shift 1 & 2.This shows that EA dosen't care about realism.

    I grew up on NFS and each subsequent release of a new game in this series is a greater shame.
    The game is slowly becoming more and more childish, more and more bad... and the emerging new RACING games on the market beat NFS dramatically.

    At best NFS Heat delivers a very mediocre racing experience.
    I found it incredibly frustrating that there's no menu system, you can only get to game settings or even exit by going back to a house - I ended up just Alt-F4 closing the game if I wanted to edit game settings or when I'd finished playing.

What was promised with NFS HEAT was a "return to the games roots" what was delivered was the same old thing... now with clothes.

    Yes clothes in a NFS game! it was at this point that i realized after    Well this is a bitter pill.. see, behind me on a bunch of shelves sits a working 3d0, a console i love because its both symbolic and has games like nfs, star control 2, and road rash. What was promised with NFS HEAT was a "return to the games roots" what was delivered was the same old thing... now with clothes.

    Yes clothes in a NFS game! it was at this point that i realized after decades of defending EA we can no longer be friends, because they are CLEARLY not making games for me ever again. This feeling was solidified when i realized the game didnt have wheel support on pc. Way to slap your core in the face EA!

    Im not going to say the driving is terrible, but its not great either. Nomatter how much we want to pretend ghost games is mostly the same people who worked for criterion CLEARLY something has been lost. A much bigger problem than the driving itself however is the abysmal track design, while some of them early in the game (and you have no right reviewing the game if you havent atleast beaten the game.. people who are giving it 10's) are "ok" as the game wears on you notice that some things you have previously driven through become things you cant drive through (stone walls, fences, certain kinds of guard rails) play a bit more and you realize they have seemingly strategically placed these materials behind bushes so you cant see them until its too late (mid race..) just to be jerks.

    I always (until the past 5 years or so) associated NFS games with amazing soundtracks, yea those days are dead. I think they got carlos maza to do the soundtrack or something because theres nothing here a straight man would listen to! Infact about 1/2 of it isnt even in english and i dont think there was a single guitar anywhere on it, i get it they wanted a "miami" feeling.. but theres more to miami than gay bars!

    So they have wasted money on the soundtrack and who knows how much paying somebody to make clothes (for a game that involves driving around IN A CAR) so why bother with a plot? I have taken dumps that had more thought put into them! Not only dont the characters have any emotional connection to the game, i straight up wanted to slap them! When the girl steals her dead dads car, wrecks it, and then her brother DOESNT do anything about it? I wanted to slap her for being such a stupid, selfish, millennial.. and HIM for being such a pansy! I also wanted to do the same thing when they crashed into the cop and she goes back for his laptop! Not to kick him in the balls, or take his keys, or shoot him.. nono lets steal the 1 thing we know FOR SURE can be tracked! Theres an entire faction (the board or some nonsense) that just sounds like they grabbed random voice actors off the street! Not only because the writing is SO bad but their delivery is soul-less (aside from the stereotypical asian who sucks at english.. but says really dumb things). This nonsense was NOT in the original NFS games and they were great.

    Lastly, the dumbest and most annoying part of this.. rather than having a cohesive game they decided to make night and day 2 different modes. Apparently they have lost the ability to just have night seamlessly slip into day and back, so you CHOOSE which it is going to be every time you leave the garage. SO you have 2 different checklists of things to do! Theres cops at night, but not so much during the day (they exist but i was never once chased) so the idea is at night you play for levels (rank) and during the day you play for money. While alot of people on the forums were crying about the cops i get the impression they just sucked or were trying to go at the whole game from very early on at night, because by the time you hit car rating 300 you are blowing in and out of chases all over the place. It still makes for a very tedious and jarring system though, the traffic is a bigger annoyance than the actual police, especially when you are trying to do something like stay over 210 mph for a goal, drift, hit a ramp, or speed zone.

    They did NOT deliver a "return to its roots". What they delivered as far as im concerned is damning evidence that EA isnt capable of making anything but disappointing games for casuals who have no memory of what they used to be capable of. I will no longer be defending them or purchasing their products (not just over this game, this was just the last straw.. anthem.. mass effect.. etc.) until they fire every SJW that has infiltrated the company and get back to making games for gamers. Clothes!!

    -A very forgettable story and a very short one
    -A LOT of bugs, at least at the time of writing this review (game crashed 4 times in a single playthrough, the second time it did, it bricked my PC and had to restart it; car flipped over and refused to respawn, stayed like that for 15 seconds until I got busted because of it; a lot of other little bugs that kept bugging me, but I won't write all of them here)
    - Connectivity issues
    -Remained stuck in a loading screen multiple times and had to restart the game (my friend that was playing with me had the same issue at the same time)
    -Day time feels really bland
    - The soundtrack is utterly awful (at least for my personal taste)
    A lot of issues I mentioned above can be easily patched, no doubt about it. The series seems to be going in the right direction, but I just ended up not having so much fun with it.
    This was my personal opinion about it, nothing else.
    A solid 4/10 from me. Hope this helps someone.    … Expand

    They said that they would turn down the drifting on every corner they didn't. The cops are op as hell and will follow you to the ends of the earth. Also the story is only slightly less terrible than payback. This franchise gets worse every year. Please do not repeat my mistakes and stop buying this trash.

    If it weren’t for the game engine FROSTBITE, it would have turned out not bad

    This game tries to be mix of every previous NFS games and does it badly. Story is boring, characters are bland, driving is worse than in payback and customisation recycled from previous games. Music during day races is few despacito alike tracks which sound same. During night some kind of DnB, Dubstep and Rap music, better but still not worth remembering. Map is lifeless, very wide roadsThis game tries to be mix of every previous NFS games and does it badly.

During night some kind of DnB, Dubstep and Rap music, better but still not worth remembering. Map is lifeless, very wide roads with no option for shortcuts in races, pop-upping objects, every race seems same. Worst thing is optimisation - on 1080ti, 7700k, 32gb ram this game drops often to 30fps. Crashes sometimes, loading loops for races and session closing (u lose all night progress so I'm warning you). IMO worst game from NFS 2015, Payback and Heat trio.… Expand

    Скучные, однообразные кольцевые гонки, непонятная графика для пк, прогрузки домов. По сравнению с пейбоком управление и физика машин с повреждениями хуже. Форза 4 как по мне гораздо лучше и интереснее, в нфс только больше внешнего тюнинга автомобилей.Скучные, однообразные кольцевые гонки, непонятная графика для пк, прогрузки домов.

    Worst Need 4 Speed game ever. No wheel support, awful steering with gamepad and bad AI.

    Crashing non stop to desktop with a 2080 Ti / 8086K / 16 GB Ram. All drivers updated. Thank you Ghost Games. Un-installing it until its working like it should.

    What an important thing you have done in these two years is embarrassing
    It's really ridiculous
    It is getting more childish day by day
    Your only masterpiece was building a MAP and weather
    I'm sorry.
    You have eliminated the need for speed.

    Totally disappointment. Only performance tuning changed after payback is good thing. Graphic is worse than other racing games of these days. Changed handling made game more uncomfortable and dull. This game is just Payback ver.2.

    First of all, I was waiting for this game, but I am dissapointed. To do drift with pushing one button and stick to the left? To have super powered car but cannot outrun police or CPU going with you? The most annoying soundtrack ever? EA did job and screw another great game as they always do. Forza 4 Horizon is far beyond this crap and I will stick onto it. Graphic is OK and story also, soFirst of all, I was waiting for this game, but I am dissapointed.

    Unfortunately, the game disappointed in the game, one plus is the graphics; everything else is done terribly; the plot and physics are just a nightmare; the game is boring and the races are not interesting; I won’t play this **** anymore NFS

    Lots of side-activities, barebones story and music that’s very unsuitable for driving – Heat is basically Payback without some of the latter’s shortcomings. [Issue#242, p.40]

    It’s a festival of good and interesting ideas that were drowned in boring grind, features borrowed from Forza Horizon, and reggaeton. [01/2020, p.60]

    Although the story makes no impression, Palm City feels lifeless and the police are sometimes frustratingly powerful, there is a lot of fun to be gained from this game, which offers more than many of the previous parts.
