Customization options are slim. None of the first 4 cars I bought had parts available for every option, and many of the options have only a single part. You can't remove stock spoilers, what? Besides that, almost every aftermarket spoiler in the game is a hilarious bosozoku park bench. The only good spoiler I found was the cool ducktail on the Volvo.

    The vinyl editor is better than old NFS games, but still rotten. Still no tools to line up your decals. Just a pair of racing stripes is stupid hard to get, and you STILL have to make separate stripes for the top and both bumpers. The interface is hair-pullingly frustrating.

    Wow, I can tune my car to handle like a real one with the Grip setting? Doesn't matter, because more than half of this game involves drifting and it's absurdly difficult to drift a Grip car. Besides, who would want to race a car that has to use the brakes against cars that can whip into any corner at any speed by dumping momentum into a drift?

    Manual shifting is junk. Double-tap the shifter to drop 2 gears, and you will drop one. Every shift forces you to clutch, shift, and declutch through each individual gear, including if you crash and need to reverse. It will take you at least a good 5 seconds to change from 6 to R. Also, you need to choose manual trans for every single car you buy. For some reason transmission is a tuning option instead of a user preference. I can't believe how much time I spent looking for it in the options menu.

    Rubberbanding. Ugghhh, your skills still don't matter in an AI race. The AI will accelerate with Gs that would puree a human being if they think you're not looking. There is no way to gain a sizeable lead. The AI will stick to you like a burdock to a wool hat no matter how delicately you thread the corners, but a crash in some races will leave you fighting for 3rd place while the first two cars inexplicably rocket miles ahead of the pack.

    Career progression is dumb. Finish a mission, and you'll just have to drive around until you get a call from your buddies. Besides that, there is no story to the missions. Race here, drift this, hit this speed. All of that is in the context of some bizarre PUSH YOURSELF mantra kind of like the one in Rivals, and there is no visible progression until the end of the campaign. My "bae" also made fun of me over the ridiculous and plotless cutscenes. She was probably just jelly. Fist bump? Oh, and Manu's hair. What?

    Yes, it's always night time and usually raining. Looks good, but it gets pretty stale. The city is nice and it looks pretty good, but there are few real landmarks and appreciable vistas. In Rivals you'd turn a corner to see an incredible mountain range over the railing or a desert stretching to the peaks in the distance, but Ventura Bay is just a bunch of roads. The roads are laid out in a frustrating way. Highway dividers are placed in homicidal and nonsensical places. There can't be more than 5 traffic cars in the whole city, but they are always waiting in the racing line just around a corner. The road fatalities in Ventura Bay must be extreme.

    The multiplayer is half-baked. Just like Rivals, you'll spend 5 minutes chasing someone and hoping for a race only to find that they've been racing AI the whole time and can't engage you. This game is advertised as being a combination of single and multiplayer, but it's really just single with a little crappy multiplayer baked in, and the two are in constant conflict. I hated the Speed Tests and Challenges in MW'12, but at least I could just jump into a multiplayer game then.

    The cars are fun to drive, and they look great. The sound from the Viper is freaking phenomenal, and most of the other cars are no exception. Learning to thread the line is very satisfying in a gripped-up car. If only there were more opportunities to do that.

    All in all, it's a decent game. It took a few of the good parts from the old games, all of the flaws, and added a few new headaches like always online to boot. The first few hours were a lot of fun but, in true EA fashion, the crap comes out of the woodwork as you play. I found myself more disappointed than thrilled. There was never a moment that I got caught up in the game - there is always some detail waiting to break the immersion. Really glad I paid the $5 for the All Access trial, because this game is worth closer to $30 for me than 60, or even worse 70 for the package that spoils the game by putting every 3rd driver in the Most Wanted BMW. (also, do you remember when demos were free? I do)    … Expand

Still, i was interested about this game and now that EA offered a 10 hour trial access to the game, i finally had the chance to try it. I pretty much got what i expected.

The visual part of the game is a ten out of ten. the Frostbite engine is pretty as always. Of course there are some effects i could live without, but my eyes easily get used to them. The handling is ok, nothing outstanding like TDU2 or the Forza Horizon series. It needs time to learn it properly, but it's really not a challenge. Maybe drifting is a bit hard, i tried to avoid it as mush as i could, because i was very suck at it. The car selection is ok, but i think supercars like the Ferrari or Lamborghini has nothing to do in this game. It's about street racing. The customization is really gives the player much freedom, i was satisfied with it (i mean the amount as i could see) The city is well builded, the always raining anomaly didn't annoyed me as so many others. Do you remember Underground 2? Just play an hour with it, you'll see how often raining in that game too. But there are some issues with this game which are still refuse me to give a god damn euro to this game. Fist thing first, the non-stop online connection requirement is nothing but a backward to this game. YOu ALWAYS need to be connected to the internet, and it just only make things worse if you have a kinda slow connection. It not going to screw up your races or anything, but you will experience performance problems and lagging even in a SINGLE PLAYER RACE! You also cannot bring up the world map or the menu properly, the game will still run in the background. How am i suppose to scrape my head in the middle of the race? Of course you can go solo which means you don't have to share your map with random people who park in the very same racing spot where you just want to teleport, or place a marker. But it still requires internet connection of course... the AI is as braindead as it can be. I don't know how it was when the game got released on consoles... i heard people complaining about the horrible catch-up system, maybe it was fixed or spoiled, because for me it was almost impossible to get beaten, even if i screwed up a corner or missed a checkpoint. In the very few times when they somehow managed to overtake me, they just randomly crashed into the wall, without reason. And it not happened just one or two times... no. At least in every second or third race. Very depressing. I still wouldn't buy it even if it had a 90% OFF sale, because the online... just call it DRM; ruins the fun for me. Let me decide whenever i want to cruise with other players or not, don't force your **** on me. But it has the potential. Maybe if they would listen a bit more to the player feedbacks and rethink the game design, it could be an ok Need for Speed game. Until then, it's nothing just a kinda medium strenght shot.… Expand

    Need for Speed (2015) is a decently good game, touting impressive visuals, an iffy cast and a remarkable, seamless experience that allows you to transition from cutscene to game without skipping a beat.

Using EA's Frostbite engine, Ghost has made a photorealistic game that truly makes you feel like    Need for Speed (2015) is a decently good game, touting impressive visuals, an iffy cast and a remarkable, seamless experience that allows you to transition from cutscene to game without skipping a beat.

    -Graphics-
    NFS15 is hands down the most visually impressive NFS game in existence. Using EA's Frostbite engine, Ghost has made a photorealistic game that truly makes you feel like you're street racing in the heart of a living city. WIth incredible lighting and mediocre weather (just rain), this game shines in the graphics department.

    -Gameplay-
    NFS is all about driving, and NFS15 gets it right. In terms of car control, you can customize many aspects to suit your driving and visual styles, as customization options are aplenty. The inclusion of support for steering wheels is a plus, but take note that Sony's Dualshock 4 controllers do have issues with this game (Xbox controllers only). The best aspect of this game's gameplay is hands-down the incredible seamless experience it delivers. From checking the map to entering and exiting cutscenes, everything is done in a beautifully polished way that makes the entire game seem like a non-stop sequence. The only loading you'll ever see is during the start-up - after that, you can cruise, crash and drift everywhere smoothly (even in multiplayer, given you've got a good internet connection of course).

    -Audio-
    NFS can't really be commended for audio, as it's just 3rd-party songs and your standard automobile noises. But, the tracklist is quite nice.

    -Story-
    NFS games in the past have had stories, but most of us don't buy them for the tales they tell. With that said, NFS15 doesn't have a solid story on its hands - instead, there are a lot of small cutscenes here and there that provide a nice little break from nearly crashing into everyone as you attempt to catch that perfect drift. They lack a lot of story, and the game is primarily about trying to get noticed in the automotive scene, which itself isn't enough for a "story" to ride on.

    -Issues-
    As everyone's most probably talked about, the game requires an active internet connection to play. This is a terrible design by Ghost, as people may want to play offline due to internet-related issues or performance issues. It also doesn't help that most of the NFS community is doing something else, leaving you with a (pretty much) defunct multiplayer. Additionally, I did find fault that Ghost only allowed people to race from dusk to dawn - this does help the environment looks snappier, but can get quite tedious not being able to play with a "real" day/night cycle. Other than this glaring problem, I couldn't find anything else wrong with the game.

    -Verdict-
    NFS15 is a fun game and is worth a buy if you're looking to spend a good 20+ hours racing around a photorealistic environment with hosts of amazing cars and various customization options. True, the game does have many issues, but I feel that the online-only restriction is an option that shut out prospective buyers due to its "DRM" nature (and performance inhibitor) and should ward off buyers who value DRM-free games.    … Expand

Game starts withGameplay is alright but intentional design choices lead to it taking a really long time to actually play. With a top end computer you should expect to be playing your game within a minute after you start it. Here you are *literally* looking at a about almost 10 minutes before you are driving from after you start the game.. and that is after every single start. Game starts with "loading EA Servers" load screen while you get to hear some garbage rap music. This one isn't so bad and takes only about 15 seconds maybe till the initial menu comes up. Then you start the game from there which loads your garage. Loading your 'garage' which at the time I write this only has 1 car in it takes a whopping 3-4 minutes. You will sit there with your jaw on the floor wondering what in the name of God would be taking so long. This is everytime you start the game whether you have one car in your garage or 5. There is obviously some tomfoolery going on here as I see no reason whatsover that this can take 1/10th the amount of time this load screen takes. After about literally 2-3 minutes at the least you then immediately hit escape to exit the garage which at that point it then hits y ou with another 1-2 minute load screen while it "finds people for you to play with" which by the way chugs up the game and causes microstuttering which in driving game is a big issue and lessens the enjoyment considerably. There are game options to play alone but lo and behold .. and whoever thought of this one one really has to wonder... that option is not listed *until* after you are already in a game. Then and only after you have survived the literal 5-7 minutes of loading screens can you then go the menu and select "Play Alone" at which point the game has the nerve to AGAIN reload the whole world, taking yet ANOTHER 1-2 minutes of loading screen. Forget reading this and looking at these numbers, a person really has to sit and imagine wanting to play a game and having to sit there for almost TEN MINUTES before you are actually playing the game. And the gameplay itself is not all that great. Its ok.. the nightime city is nice looking thats about it. The driving has been done better many times. The vast majority of the people who have bought this game are going to probably force themselves to play a few times and then tell themselves its just not worth how long it takes. Also on many machines you will find yourself constantly falling off the world and leading to a new load screen which will screw up your progress in any race you might be in. The race will continue on while your subjected to another 1-2 minute load screen (usually like 30 seconds once your in the game.. but the race is inevitably ruined as that 30 seconds passed as usual in the game) I wouldn't even bother with spending $5 bucks on this unless you are really really patient and know what your getting into to and plan to just try out the game and waste a lot of time doing it. You can almost be sure you will file this one away as an un-working game in the back of your mind even though you may like the 1 or 2 experiences you have with it when its working.
    "always online is fine aside from the fact that even with an 8 core 4.2 ghz processor the game stutteres every few seconds.. going offline stopped this. Horrific, horrific load times. Expect to watch literally around 5-10 min of load screens before your actually driving. 3 min load to load your garage w/ one car from the title screen. Hit escape to "exit the garage" and buckle in for another 3 minute load screen. Drive too fast and fall off the world as it didn't load in fast enough.. back to yet another load screen. Rivals the previous installment froze the action momentarily if the world didn't load in quick enough.    … Expand

I understand that its supposed to be there for "best players" but those time limits you have for gold metal are sometimes impossible. Im not saying this game is bad im saying this game is broken full of bullsh*ts and it feels like devs didnt even tried some parts of game.

    CONs
    Nice graphics are less relvant when it's dark all the time. And the city is boring TBH, nothing like the variety found in Most Wanted (either of them)
    Car handling is pretty awful - way too arcadey. No feel going round corners, poor force-feedback on the wheel. As bad as Undercover I would say - and that's pretty bad.
    Lack of control options - can't use the mouse in the map and can't map certain keys to the wheel buttons, so you're always reaching for the keyboard for PgUp, PgDn, etc.. And who uses Backspace to get to the menu!
    No proper manual gearbox - only flappy paddles :-(
    Races are too short. Not expecting 4-hour race a la The Crew, but 5-6 minutes would be nice. 2 minutes a shot is just too damn short.
    No mirrors or even a look-back function makes MP racing frustrating.
    The gameplay is rather vaugue and pointless. Sure you have free-roam, but you quite quickly start to wonder why you even care. There's just not that much to do.

    Overall, a poor entry into the series and certainly not worth the asking price, not by a long way. It tries to be NFS Underground 3, but it's not. They should have just remade Undergound 2, pixel for pixel - that would have been better. However, it's not awful and will offer a degree of fun for an evening or two. Wait for it to hit the £10 mark (if it ever does) and snap it up.

    Nonetheless, the cops are ridiculous (please, NFS Rivals cops, come back, you were mother****ing badass!), some of the races you'll race in need you to be near a slow as f**k team (Drift Train mode) and, if the memory in which your computer has this NFS Reboot installed is slow, you will fall of the ground in some certain points of the map unless you go Need for Less Speed.

    It's a good game, but even the last 1.5.0 version needs some polishment to make it a great racing game. I should check out Payback to see if that's the update this gmae needs or if it's just a Forza Horizon rip-off.    … Expand

    I left the Need for Speed ​​series after The Run and I didn't show any interest in it for a long time, but that changed the part from 2015. Yes, I can't say anything other than 2015, because this Need for Speed ​​doesn't have a subtitle. Personally, however, I would call it Underground 3, because it has an undeground touch and looks quite like that, and speaking of what it looks like.I left the Need for Speed ​​series after The Run and I didn't show any interest in it for a long time, but that changed the part from 2015. Yes, I can't say anything other than 2015, because this Need for Speed ​​doesn't have a subtitle. Personally, however, I would call it Underground 3, because it has an undeground touch and looks quite like that, and speaking of what it looks like. That's just beautiful. To this day, the game looks beautiful and overall a shift compared to previous parts. On the one hand, it's probably a night that hides various details in its darkness and the game looks wonderful. Yes. Need for Speed ​​(2015) is at night. Only at night. As was the case with my favorite part, Underground 2. The game again tries to bet on the story. He is not at all for an Oscar, but it must be said that although a lot of players criticize him here, that there are a lot of cringe scenes, I dare to disagree. Not only did the scenes not come to me cringe, but they drew me into the game, precisely because we have real people here and not graphics created by graphics, which also attracted a lot of criticism. Personally, I didn't mind this and on the contrary, I welcomed the fact that the scenes were played. Yes, maybe sometimes the transitions looked weird so that all the cars looked real and your car in the cut-scene was visibly right yours, but still nothing terrible for me. But now for the races. They are here in their full beauty and FINALLY my favorite drift has returned, which I really liked here. In addition to racing after us, there are shelves here and there again, so the game is actually trying to mix the Underground with Most Wantedy and man, it works. At least in my opinion, this combination is fine and the police did not bother me here and did not interfere as much as it was at the end of Most Wanted. I would like to mention tuning, which immediately pleased and then disappointed. Definitely tuning has undergone some upgrades again and you now have such an opportunity to modify your vehicle that it is perhaps not even possible. No really. So many details to play with that I haven't gone through a lot of them for the whole game. For that, I just praise what I criticize is the fact that there are no neon lights again. I would like to add just one word. Why? We didn't even get them in Carbons, so why can't they at least be here? The game has a lively city enough to be here. To understand, I criticized a dead city in Carbon, which glows mostly white, and you neon signs would excel enough, and it would probably look weird. But here I believe it would look good, because the city shines in different colors and has such a nice late night atmosphere. It's a shame. Such a thing, but I really froze me, and what's more, the fact that you still have to be connected to the Internet to play the game. What the hell is a matter of connection when we play a single-player game? Do I have to have internet even for singles? Oh no. Another uselessness that knocks down the game. Summa summarum Need for Speed ​​(2015) is a good game that takes mostly elements of the Underground, although there are no magazines where you were forced to tune your car, for which I praise and adds something from Most Wanted, although you don't have to farm bounty I also praise. It could be, I dare say, one of the best parts of the series, but the absence of neon lights or the need for an Internet connection knocks the game down. So for me, a good game that I recommend.… Expand

    Oyunu yeni oynadım grafikleri çok iyi özellikle de bu boyutta bir yarış oyununa göre modifikasyonlar da muhteşem zaten uzun süredir NFS oyunlarında yoktu ama gelince de tam gelmiş hazır skinler de kolaylık sağlıyor ama iyi yanlarının hepsi bu kadar

    İlk olarak kontrolcü ile oynamaya başladım ama ilk yarışı bile bitiremedim araba gitmiyor falan salak saçma buglar oldu sonradan internetten    Oyunu yeni oynadım grafikleri çok iyi özellikle de bu boyutta bir yarış oyununa göre modifikasyonlar da muhteşem zaten uzun süredir NFS oyunlarında yoktu ama gelince de tam gelmiş hazır skinler de kolaylık sağlıyor ama iyi yanlarının hepsi bu kadar

    İlk olarak kontrolcü ile oynamaya başladım ama ilk yarışı bile bitiremedim araba gitmiyor falan salak saçma buglar oldu sonradan internetten araştırdım yabancı bi forumda birisi çözüm yolu bulmuş EA'nın sitesine de baktım adamlar takmamış bile oyuncuları ikincisi oyunu durduramıyorsunuz yani offline yarışta olsanız bile restart yok mal gibi sonuncu bitirip tekrar başlamanız lazım üçüncüsü optimizasyon çok dengesiz ultrada çok fazla FPS Drop yiyorum bilgisayar iyi olmasına rağmen dördüncüsü oyunun mekanikleri ÇÖP sanki 2004 motorlarını kullanmışlar oyunu yaparken drift diye bişey yok ama eventler koymuşlar çıldırmalık ve bi de bug var oyunda bundan kaynaklı beşincisi oyunda hikaye yok leş gibi ara sahneler var kanaltürk yabncı gençlik filmleri gibi mapi açtığınızda nerde ne yapacağınızı bilmiyorsunuz hepsi bu kadar. Oyunu EA Play ile oynuyorum yoksa buna para vermek hiç mantıklı değil benim gibi NFS oyunlarını çok seviyorsanız oynarsınız oyunu ilk tanıttıkları zamanki haliyle bırakmışlar ama yine de 6/10

    edit 11 saat daha oynadım: o kadar da çöp bir oyun değil çünkü kontroller bugu bazen çok az da olsa düzelebiliyor ve oyunun güzel olduğunu anlıyorsunuz bi de restart olayı varmış teleport olayı da varmış ben malım hatta puanım 7/10 a çıktı oynanır ama yine de satın almaya değmez    … Expand

    The PC version of NfS is the prettiest of them all, but it is the same game with all its flaws, including horrible AI that sucks all satisfaction out of races (even if you stop completely, your rivals will wait for you) and scarce content that leaves you with nothing to do after around 12 hours.

    The series leaves its garage looking even worse than when it went in. Decent handling doesnt save it.
