    Some cool features from nfs 2015 like visual styling make this game good, but there are a lot cons like:
    -terrible drift, -game looks even worse than 2015, -cops chases broken and unbalanced (like you car get a tons of damage when cop easily touched you)
    -stupid storyline -terrible ost (only has stupid rap and latinos music)

There are 5 heat levels. Heat level 1 is easy to escape, heat level 2 is ok, heat level 3 is nearly impossible to escape. Over never successfully evaded past that level. The police will stop you dead, they remove half your health bar with one hit, and if you hit them then you deal almost no damage. It is broken. It’s makes the night mode incredibly stressful rather than enjoyable, and it is necessary to complete in the day mode. They were so close to making an excellent game but they messed it up by making the police unstoppable. Expand

    Basically made for kids. The story is childish, the premise of needing street cred to buy parts is beyond idiotic, the handling is pure arcade, and the modification system was designed by people who have never even read a car magazine, much less actually turn a wrench.

    Boring and flawed.

    No button mapping to configure your controller.
    Drifting is a joke.
    No race line to show you the layout of the track.

    It's just a pretty car show. It has nothing to do with racing.

    And to top it all off, when you crawl through all this **** just because you still have a tiny amount of hope, the game gives you error 40010000 and deletes all your progress and tells you to “contact customer support”. But even customer support doesn’t know how to fix this, so they just tell you to hang in there.

I beared with the 2015 version, and quit only on the final race because the rubber banding was stupid. I played payback and you know what, it wasn't half bad. At least I explored the map, had some drift and drag fun, dealt with the silly story and had a sense of achievement. But THIS. THIS HEAT IS THE WORST. The night mode is unbearable. Spawning police cars behind you, crashing, losing your progress. All horrible. Terrible bugs that help you out (jumping inside water to get out of a pursuit i.e.) and a TINY single story mode (WITH the extras we are talking 7-8 hours tops). The game is bad. It is just so, so, so bad. The music is bad, the double tap drift is bad, everything is bad. Oh, and it is ALWAYS raining on this game. No reason, just because it looks cool I guess. The game is bad. Do not listen otherwise. I mean it. I paid 15 euros for it on sale, and regret every penny. Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. - Странная кастомзация персонажей, зачем они вообще нужны в аркадных гонках? Одевать мужчину в женское бельё и делать ему женскую прическу? В это ведь дети играют! Ну да ладно, ведь должны же разработчики были как-то оправдать себя за то, что они берут 70$ за это.

    - Всё окружение вдоль дорог, включая каменные заборы, ломается. Врезаешься в машину при скорости 150 км/ч - не беда! Ты просто замедляешься до 130 и продолжаешь движение не меняя направления. Если ты вылетел на обочину куда-то на скалы, то при попытке выехать оттуда, тебя часто закидывает назад - помогает только телепорт в гараж. За два дня с момента покупки игра вылетала 12 раз. Далее я просто перестал считать

    - В игровом мире скучно и одиноко, все детали для тюнинга открыты с самого начала, денег дают столько, что можно купить любые машины. Единственное что заставляло пройти - Надежда, что сюжетка будет интересной, но нет. - Жаль потраченных денег на предзаказ. Тот же Payback был в разы лучше.

    1) Latin music is really bad, it's not for racing.
    2) Horrible style - absolutely all the characters look like hipsters. It's look like and Asphalt for mobile devices.
    3) The plot made on the basis of fan fiction 13-year-old girls do not even want to describe.
    4) The city is generally empty during the day. In the same Underground 2, there is a lot of bots ride and honk, but here you are in a zombie apocalypse.
    5) I don’t know where the scriptwriters live, but in real street races people drive honda accords, mitsubishy lancers, subaru impreza and . Not on supercars. This destroys the whole atmosphere, unlike the underground 2, where there are corollas, mx5 and celica, which, for example, in Cyprus, are just thousands.

    Что касается движка Frostbite: движок вообще не предназначен для гоночных игр. Движок изначально создавался исключительно для FPS-игр. Но в угоду экономии, чтобы не тратить деньги на разработку/доработку действительно стоящих движков именно для гоночных игр - они везде суют свой идиотский Frostbite, который может выдать только красивую (местами очень спорную) картинку и ничего другого.

    Пока издатель и разработчики не поймут, что все то, что они выпускают последнее года - такое никому ненужно, то ничего не изменится - мы и дальше будем получать низкосортные проекты, и уничтожение культовых серий.

    Ridiculous cops mechanics ruin all the fun. Cops just teleport to you and smash you. You can't drive away, you must deal with them through stunts. The game name is Need for Speed NOT Need for Stunt by the way... You can't normally progress without night races (races with cops!), where cops just smash you no matter how good you drive.

    On the bright side the car customization is fantastic, probably one of the best in the series, buying cars and customizing them is very fun.

    Cops way too over powered. Another NFS that has been made my people that know nothing about cars. Completely arcade handling, not even a hint of realism. Would have given 4 or 5 but had to balance out a couple of 10s.

    This game is terrible!

    Soundtrack is a bunch of garbage hiphop songs, graphics are terrible. It‘s 2019 and they still use outdated textures. It‘s an arcade game, controls and mechanics suck! It‘s a cheap copy of Payback and 2015 and only childish kids seem to say positive things about it, who never ever played classics like Most Wanted, Underground or Hot Pursuit. This game is a disgrace

    Need for Speed Heat is (imo) one of the best racing games of the 2010's

    First up, The Graphics NFS Heat's Graphics are kinda superior than Payback but it's not as like-like than the 2015 reboot. but still it looks so amazing. at every corner and every distance, it stands out as one good looking details around. but not only the hills, building, etc. the cars look very impressive.
    Need for Speed Heat is (imo) one of the best racing games of the 2010's

    First up, The Graphics
    NFS Heat's Graphics are kinda superior than Payback but it's not as like-like than the 2015 reboot. but still it looks so amazing. at every corner and every distance, it stands out as one good looking details around. but not only the hills, building, etc. the cars look very impressive.

    then, The Story
    So The premise of NFS Heat is that you play as an unnamed racer looking to race in Palm City (A Miami-Inspired City) for the Speedhunters Showdown who meets Lucas Rivera in the garage, After one race, she meets Ana Rivera (Lucas' Young Sister) Where she asks that they need to know who they are by racing at night and avoid the cops, but something from the High Speed Task Force is not what it seems.
    The story is great and the characters are spot on

    Now for the Gameplay
    It has a lot of things to do in Palm City, One of the main attractions is of course the events. From circuit to drift to sprint, there's gonna be alot of racing! Speaking of drift, the car handling is so great. and another of the main attractions is the cop chases, it's so hard yet it's so entertaining that it puts you to the edge of the seat. And of course, we could forget the customization. not only for your car, but also for your avatar can be customized.

    Finally, The Overall Score
    NFS Heat is a Racing Game That EA Makes it Right

    9.5/10

    Prós:
    -O mapa está quase no ponto, Palm City funciona. (menos as rampas que estão pela cidade sem nenhuma explicação, ao meu ver)
    -A personalização é legal, mas não é nada fora da realidade como muitos falam, a customização do "U2" ainda é maior, alguns carros quase não tem muitas peças.
    -A personalização do som do carro é incrível
    - Policiais muito agressivos são uma grande vantagem
    -A noite é muito legal, e o "conquiste tudo ou perca tudo" parece realmente gratificante.
    -Não há microtransações, pelo menos a partir de agora (eu não queria mencionar isso, porque isso não deveria estar em jogos com preços completos).
    Contras:
    -Graficamente, o jogo não se destaca (alguma implementação realmente ruim de anti-serrilhado, carregamento de textura com atraso, qualidade da textura também parece ruim. Joguei em 1080p - no Max)
    -Uma história muito esquecível e muito curta
    -Um monte de bugs, pelo menos até momento (o jogo travou 4 vezes em uma única jogada, na segunda vez, bloqueou o meu PC e tive que reiniciar o carro capotou e se recusou a respawnar, ficou assim por 15 segundos até que eu fui preso por causa disso, muitos outros bugs que me incomodaram)
    - Problemas de conectividade
    - fiquei preso em uma tela de carregamento várias vezes e tive que reiniciar o jogo (meu amigo que estava comigo teve o mesmo problema ao mesmo tempo)
    -O tempo do dia parece realmente sem graça
    - A trilha sonora é totalmente horrível (tem funk mano...)
    Muitos dos problemas mencionados acima podem ser facilmente corrigidos, sem dúvida. A série parece estar indo na direção certa, mas acabei não me divertindo tanto.
    Esta é minha opinião sobre.
    3/10 Espero que ajude alguém;

    Die Spielwelt ist leer, sehr leer und langweilig. Soweit ich es sehen konnte, da ich nie länger als 5 Minuten Spielen kann bevor es wieder abstürzt.

    Das Handling der Autos ist absolut unterirdisch. Die Steuerung fühlt sich einfach nicht gut an da man nur im Drift um Kurven kommt. Das ganze Handling Modell ist auf Driften ausgelegt ob man das nun mag oder nicht. Ich mag es nicht.
    Es ist einfach dumm das man immer Driften muss um, um Kurven zu kommen.

    Ich habe das Gefühl EA wollte einen Forza Konkurrenten Entwickeln. Ich aber derbe daran Gescheitert in allen Aspekten.

    heat delivers something we actually wanted from 2011. I think that handling matches the good old black box games, story isnt maybe the best thing but nowadays stories arent focused on, just look at forza horizon 4... at least we have progression system of some sort and finally good cops, engine sounds are good and overall game looks like ghost put a lot of effort in it.

I had amazing times with my friends in this game like setting up a party and had a car meet, had few runs in the highway.. This bad reviews are seriously from haters and it's because some people just can't accept the fact that (EA) actually published a good game after all these recent backlashes the company facing without realizing that GHOST GAMES's effort in this game.. Look at LP-RIPPER24 (a youtuber's view) on the nfs heat's bad review..

    It's just okay i think. It's not great & it's not terrible, although personally my negatives outweigh the positives;

    - Driving mechanics are pretty much the same as Payback which isn't great.
    - The game world whilst diverse is fairly bland & lifeless. Fairly tired of these big empty cities, day or night.
    - Graphics leave a lot to be desired with comparisons to similar games, they aren't great & noticeably worse then NFS 2015.
    - Car & character choice is okay but could be better. Customisation is decent enough.
    - The story that i have played so far is pretty throw-away & the writing is god awful. But there is some fun to be had at least.
    - The police heat level system is nice but needs some work & balancing.
    - AI is pretty dumb.
    - Still no cockpit camera

    Is it better then Payback? Yes.
    But that wasn't a difficult task.

    I'm just not excited to get back to it to be honest. It feels like a missed opportunity.

    After the fiasco that was payback I had no hope that ghost games would make a decent game and heat It's a surprise because they fixed many of the mistakes that made payback slip into the abyss, sure the game has some flaws such as the textures sometimes load slowly in the garage or that the online has some synchronization problems or the crashes that happen sometimes but if ghost correctsAfter the fiasco that was payback I had no hope that ghost games would make a decent game and heat It's a surprise because they fixed many of the mistakes that made payback slip into the abyss, sure the game has some flaws such as the textures sometimes load slowly in the garage or that the online has some synchronization problems or the crashes that happen sometimes but if ghost corrects them with a patch in these days the game would have very few weak points. the story is good, it is not the best in the world but after having games like payback, rivals, shift or nitro, the history of nfs heat excites you at certain times much more than any of those games.

    the sound of each car is excellent and the sound of those turbos ohhh boii, the graphics
    are pretty good and the physics ( the best physics of all ghost games except drfit physics that are a little weird) We have freeroam like NFS 2015 , cops freeroam ( a damn good police)
    And a good carlist. weak points? the soundtrack (disastrous) the technical failures that it has at the moment and maybe the abrupt way in which the story ends but I think it is a good sign that indicates that ghost finally learned how to make a good NFS games. I hope ghost gives a very good post-launch support to the game so that it stays alive

    The game is not bad at all but the Frostbyte engine is a blight that EA needs to stop pushing into non-shooters.
    It plain glitches and breaks at random causing the game to crash, plus it made a game that could have been a return to form for NFS since the handling and racing is the closest to pre-2010 NFS since the rivals into an barely above average racing game.
    Here's hoping the devs

    The graphics seem quite horrendously dated, the cutscenes are crudely animated and the overall visual image looks dead and hollow, which corresponds with the contents of the game.

    The graphics seem quite horrendously dated, the cutscenes are crudely animated and the overall visual image looks dead and hollow, which corresponds with the contents of the game.

    My expectations from the Need For Speed franchise are rather low at this point, but considering NFS Heat as an arcade racing game fails to deliver enjoyable driving experience makes me wonder about the low-key excitement surrounding some of the press the game has been getting thus far. Simply put, the game's core gameplay mechanics of driving are awful. Even games like GTA V, where driving is very much a secondary activity, succeed to deliver a driving experience more engaging and fun than the one found behind the wheel on Heat.

    I want to emphasise the point that I understand this is an arcade racing game and I'm very familiar with the franchise, but the driving experience just isn't fun and the cars feel about as lifeless as the game looks. The cars handle poorly, cornering feels especially awful and I definitely can not recommend the game for anyone wanting to enjoy a fun arcade racer.

    To put it bluntly, this game is a steaming pile of neon bulls***. The streets feel empty and the game world itself devoid of a soul. It seems like the game has barely anything going on for itself and it seems hard to believe Heat to be a AAA game instead of one of those free-to-play online racing mmo's.

    In all honesty I can not think of a single good reason for anyone to buy this game and in good conscience can not recommend this game to anyone. 3/10 simply because the game is not profoundly broken, only profusely so.

    The graphic feels outdated, the physics is infuriating, the customization is poor even comparing to the older NFS games and the cops... well they are the worst: it's kinda ok their cars like 100 times heavier than player's, it's kinda ok they reach 220 mph in a blink of an eye, but the way they spawn right in front of you

    The game is so much fun, Love what they did with the day night mechanic.
    car customization is crazy good.
    My only complain is i don't like the soundtrack but i can mute the music and play my own.

    Need for Speed: Heat is the first good step for the franchise in years. Devoid of micro transactions, providing some Underground-like neon vibes with it’s best customization system, it can provide more than a dozen of hours of fun, despite it’s dead like world design and irrelevant and boring story.

    The Heat meter effectively turns GTA’s wanted level into score attack, which is awesome. But the open-world busywork, generic city, and too-flimsy obstacles dilute the otherwise decent gameplay. [Issue#170, p.88]

    Again, I don’t think Need for Speed Heat does much to re-invent the wheel when it comes to open-world racing games, but it does help reset the franchise in a way that felt necessary at this point. It’s an enjoyable experience throughout, the story is entertaining if maybe a little too serious, and the overall progression path is well realized. If you’re hungry to get behind the wheel of a virtual car this season, Need for Speed Heat is likely going to be the game for you.
