    Despite the overwhelming special effects that make the game look pretty, stale gameplay and bland open world hinder this experience.

    The good:

    +Open world and soundtracks.
    +Car handling.

    The bad and fugly:

    -Native locked 30 FPS and technical issues with upper mid-range PC.
    -Still broken AI.
    -RPG like speedboost grindfest.
    -Gibberish plot.
    -Limited vehicle roster.
    -Sponge physics (apart from handling).
    -Poor man's Hot Pursuit sequel that doesn't introduce anything new to the table.

    You have two modes, racer and cop.
    It's unplayable as a racer because cops are practically everywhere and if you want to do something urgent and need to pause it you can't because of NO PAUSE BUTTON. And a racing game capped without 30fps is a joke(Thanks EA).
    You can somehow play it as a cop because you won't be arrested when you want to take a bath and don't want to quit the game for a    You have two modes, racer and cop.

    Pros:
    - You will be giving EA 20$ so that they will make better game in the future
    Cons:
    It's almost unplayable (No pause, 30 fps cap and no steering wheel compatibility)    … Expand

    Игра почти не чем не отличатся от прошлой, такое же ужасное управление машиной как будто ведёшь 20-тонную фуру. Также блокировка на 30 кадров бесит, а и в игре нет паузы и меню вообще допустим вам надо идти в магазин а вы на сложной гонке и что вы будете делать? Разработчики подумали за вас заново проходить гонку классно правда! Но графика хорошая но можно было и лучше.Игра почти не чем не отличатся от прошлой, такое же ужасное управление машиной как будто ведёшь 20-тонную фуру.

    The idea of the game is good, you can switch between racer and cop. But its technical aweful.

    Good:
    -world great desinged
    -good graphics (for 2013)

    Bad:
    -30 FPS lock
    -boring missions
    -i often fall through the map
    -bad performance
    -no Long-term motivation

    Оптимизация на ПК плоха. Стоит лок на 30 фпс. Графика плоха для своего времени, особенно, сглаживание. Открытый мир пуст и мёртв. В нём нет ничего интересного.

    No idea who gave internal approval to this game allowing it to be released. A should-have-never- existed game.

    Just text (crutch) to save the game to the list. Such things. Maybe I'll do a review later.

    One good idea--the racer's scoring system--spoiled by a thuddingly dull cop campaign and dumb design decisions. [March 2014, p.68]

    EA managed to end the bad run of Need for Speeds released in odd years. But even if it’s the best NFA in a long time, it could have been better. Rivals looks and plays really good but it could use a properly working multiplayer or a real single player mode. And if you remember Most Wanted, Rivals looks quite familiar. [01/2014, p.38]

    A scintillating return to form that's all style...and no little substance. Blistering arcade racing. [Jan 2014, p.76]
