    The PC version. graphically is very disappointing low resolution textures, a lot of aliasing (saws everywhere), poor lighting, very few configuration options ...

    This does not look like a "NextGen" game.. I think EA has sabotaged the PC version in favor of the new consoles if this is true EA really is the Cancer of this industry...

    No Steering wheel support is the clincher for me. You can't seriously enjoy a driving game with out a wheel IMO. The new PS4 controller feels a bit sluggish to me. A good race car should have tight, precise steering. But the controller seems to float a bit like a boat with some cars.

    I have played through both story lines and think NFS:R could be an awesome game were it not for the No Wheel Support issue.
    The graphics and cars are great with minimal lag issues. Physics are totally arcade but many people like that. It is quicker to drift a tight hairpin at 220 kph than to brake and corner like a simulator. Unrealistic but fun all the same.
    You will finish the story and even unlock the Platinum trophy pretty quickly. The real fun is PVP taking down other Players, especially hunting in a pack with friends. Although you will search a bit as there are only 6 people allowed per session, but you can quick travel to any event/base once you have located your prey on the world map.
    I would give this game an 7 if there was Wheel support, so until then it gets a 5.    … Expand

    Next comes the tutorial. An unskippable tutorial with unskippable cutscenes that tell me things a five yeat old could have figured out by himself. Except for the Keyboard controls, of course, "Page up"?? Are you f**ing kidding me? Btw. in the tutorial videos it is constantly referred to as "the button". I don't know if I should call that cheap or annoying. Probably both.

    Anyway, back to the game. Car handling feels good, except for the fact that the tires where apparently stolen off of a Prius or something. If I wanted crazy drifing I would play Dirt or something.

    So lets head to the garage and install better tires. Oh I can't, i can only buy a "handling" upgrade. Seriously? This may sound nitpickingish, but why for heavens sake can't I buy new tires or a new engine? I could do that in Street Rod I, 25 years ago! But apparently the guys at EA want do destroy the immersion as much as possible. To drive the point home they also included EMP weapons and more such nonsene as well as ridiculous amounts of nitrio.

    One thing they chose to give more realism is car strength. So the police can get you really quickly, especially with the help of all the crazy toys. I guess this makes sense, given the multiplayer nature of the game, but being a single player fan myself I find it rather annoying.

    Well I guess I'll leave it here: Rivals is not a bad game, but it does nothing new and some things rather badly so I don't see a reason you should pay full price for it. Wait a bit or just stick with any NFS game you already enjoy.    … Expand

    Great game.

    Play it on a console if you can, because it's capped at 30 fps. In my opinion, that's the only thing holding it back from being the best PC racing game to come out in years. Gameplay is incredibly addictive, story is okay and could be better, cops are aggressively fun, cars rule.

    If you read the hordes of trolling reviews (not recommended), you'll see almost every last one of them mentions the same two things and do not talk about the gameplay, story, multiplayer, or even graphics at all. If you are the kind of person that can make a decision based SOLELY on an FPS cap and unskippable cut-scenes, then you don't want this game, stop reading here.

    For the 5 of you still reading, Need for Speed Rivals is basically Hot Pursuit 4 it draws as much as possible from the 2010 game while thankfully avoiding last year's disaster. This means that like the 2010 title, it's all fun and no substance. Most of the same types of events are here race, interceptor, hot pursuit, etc.

    However, the focus of Rivals isn't what's the same, but rather what's different. The mere presence of cut-scenes MUST mean there's a story, right? Well... no. There is no story. There are no characters, no rival gangs, no crooked cops, and none of the awesome story from Most Wanted (2005) or Carbon. Just a narrator giving background information about a feud between cops and racers that is never seen in game.

    The funny thing about this game is it has no multiplayer. It also has no singleplayer. When you start a game while on the internet, you are connected to a room with up to 5 other people. While you are progressing as a cop or racer, so are the other players as well as AI cops and racers. Basically, every player in the room is playing a 1 player game at the same time. If player 3 starts a race, that race also exists for the other players any cop, human or AI can bust not only player 3, but also their opponents. Your race checkpoints might take you right though another racer's interceptor, and you might wind up helping or hindering other players and vice-versa. I have personally shutdown every racer in a hot pursuit event without actually busting any of them myself, because another player and two AI cops got them all for me. Also, I once crashed head on into a racer during a rapid response while they were in an interceptor. The crash both wrecked me and busted him, costing both our events.

    This concept is awesome, and it works quite well. But it has two main flaws first, AI are not allowed to repair. If you're chasing a group of racers or being chased by a group of cops, there is little reason to bust/wreck anyone but the human first, as they are the only ones that can refill their health and items. Most Need for Speed titles let the AI do things players cannot (*cough*rubberbanding*cough*) but this title does the reverse. The other flaw is that in each 'room', one player is the 'host'. When that player quits, the room is reset and any objectives you completed must be done again. UGH.

    Overall, Need for Speed Rivals is a very fun game, but it's not too deep. You will be entertained, but don't expect longevity from this title.    … Expand

    First of all, the FPS being capped at 30 is bad, but saying that the game is absolutely awful because of that is silly, and I bet that the game wouldn't be getting half as many rants if people didn't know it was locked.

    The unskippable cut scenes that everyone are referring to are in the first few minutes of the game.. after the first 10-15 minutes you can skip cut scenes to your hearts content. In other words, people who have been citing that as a reason for low scores has played 10 minutes or less before ranting here.

    I like this game.. it's a good arcade racer. The scenery is beautiful and varied ranging from coastal areas to snowy mountains and deserts. The handling is awesome and it really feels like you're going fast. Music is still a downside for me and I would love to see some sort of user-created playlists or support for your own mp3s.    … Expand

    My system is an i7 2nd gen 16mb ram asus gtx560ti 433cores 1.28gpu (mediocre) directx 11 compatible. And the game runs very well.

    The 30fps is an issue because it makes the game hard on the eyes and after playing grid2 the 30 fps rate was a deal breaker for me. It does detract from the enjoyment a lot.

    A lot of the scores are unfair on this page, because I believe most of the problems people are getting with this game are because they have not set up their computer properly to play it.    … Expand

    I felt compelled to write a review of this game to counter the many misleading opinions of other posters. Let me start off by saying that whatever technical issues the game had when it was first released seem to have been fixed now. It barely skips a beat on my system: X64 OS, i7 processor, 16 GB RAM and GTX570 graphics card. Other complaints are (now) equally unfounded as you CAN skipI felt compelled to write a review of this game to counter the many misleading opinions of other posters.

It barely skips a beat on my system: X64 OS, i7 processor, 16 GB RAM and GTX570 graphics card. Other complaints are (now) equally unfounded as you CAN skip most of the annoying cutscenes and immature story (by pressing A on the controller or Enter on the keyboard) and Events CAN be restarted.

    Make no mistake -- this is an above-average game. The writing is probably the biggest downside in an otherwise class act and the 'sexy' female instructor voice is getting a bit old. However, everything else -- from the slick menus to the environmental effects -- has obviously had considerable thought and effort applied to it. All of the little touches -- like the realistic accumulation of dirt on the vehicles -- clearly show how much pride Ghost Games has taken in their work.

    Apart from NFS: Hot Pursuit (2010), this game is probably closer to Burnout Paradise (2009) than any other since and -- for me -- that's a huge plus. In fact, in many ways it actually improves on the original formula as you would expect. The learning curve is relatively steep but it's a highly intelligent and rewarding game for those willing to put the effort in. It doesn't all gel straight away. You have to play it a while to 'get it' and appreciate its nuances. I had mixed feelings in the first hour or so but now I have to stop myself playing to go to bed. That's the sign of a good game!    … Expand

    What bothers me though is that the driving is awkward. Sometimes the car just won't turn, like if it were on a railroad. Though not completely frustrating, it gives way less pleasure then driving in NFS Hot pursuit.

    It's a pity because the game is otherwise enjoyable and has stunning graphics.

    On the bad side game runs like a$$ with a 30 fps lock and modding it to unlock it can mess up the game. Driving doesnt feel nearly as good as it did n Hot Pursuit or Most Wanted, it feels too stiff and driving physics can take a nose dive nd overall feel very poor. If youre driving too fast game can even freeze for several seconds in certain game world areas. YOU CANNOT PAUSE THE GAME !!! Even if youre playing solo and offline game cannot be paused, in an arcade game like this just doesnt make any sense. Cops are overly agressive and overpowered, like youre going down highway in a Veyron at 400 kmh but cop in Gallardo catches up out of nowhere and gives your car major damage. Oh yeah damage system really sux, you got way too little hit points before you go down making you an easy prey for 5-0 and safe houses can be way too scattered leaving you screwed. Also whole cops avs racers narrative is cringe enducing. Theres also lots of sound bugs.

    It's very difficult to compare stats on the different cars.

    The on-screen info text is quite badly designed. It both significantly hinders visibility and also does a poor job at identifying what it's supposed to. The navigation system isn't great either. It's inconsistent, and you have to constantly look at your minimap, which can get you in trouble during high speed races/chases.

    When you complete an objective it shows these messages accompanied by a flash that is really hard on the eyes.

Автомобили управляются по-разному, есть 5 уровней тех-прокачки, плюс навыки дорожной борьбы: глушилки, мины, тараны, турбо, шипы и т.п.

    Основная идея стара как мир: гонщики против копов. И тут игра отдаленно, но все же напоминает дух MW2005, но с одной поправкой: в MW мы - неуязвимый снаряд, но при этом копы агрессивнее и мощнее. В Rivals у нашей машины есть полоска здоровья, поэтому водить здесь придется крайне аккуратно и точно, иначе КУСЬ, ну то есть арест. Игра в меру сложная, без ультра-брутал челленджей, но и без откровенного лайта.

    Ругать Rivals есть за что. В основном, это по технической части. На лицензии больше багов! Поэтому мне пришлось скачать торрент эдишен и удалить стим-версию, ведь она может намертво зависнуть посреди гонки из-за того, что кто-то стал оффлайн. Есть плавающий баг со скоростью, когда машина не может разогнаться до высшей передачи. То снова может, то не может... Хотя визуально скорость такая же...

    В целом отличная оптимизация, просадок и фризов нет, красивые визуальные эффекты, приятная музыка, огромные скорости. Можно снять кап в 30 фпс командой в ярлыке. ВАЖНО: при снятии лока фпс могут стать непроходимыми некоторые ивенты (я насчитал 3 таких). Чтобы их пройти, уберите временно команду из ярлыка, иначе из-за бага вас будет выкидывать из гонки.

    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]
