    Jugué al need for speed de 2016 y me pareció relativamente bueno. A pesar de que este incluya mayor contenido, me ha parecido aburrido y no he llegado a acabarlo. Las persecuciones con la policía se hacen muy frustrantes, siendo el principal motivo para dejarlo, ya que algunas duraban hasta 20 minutos.

Impossible to escape police without prior knowledge of game systems such as abusing ramps and tight alleyways to crash braindead rubberbanding Chargers and C7 Corvettes who will always try and pit you no matter what the situation like it's the one and only police tactic that exists for stopping a moving vehicle. The police are faster than ANY racer in the game. Bar none. Their corvettes can catch hypercars. Hilariously unrealistic. This wouldn't be an issue except that half of the game involves night races which have the chance for police to catch you, removing your ENTIRE cash stack. Genuinely the worst system I have seen in a racing game. Ever. Its like they hate their customers. Avoid playing at all costs.… Expand

Imagine the situation: You are in a Drift test that requires controlled and perfect turns to reach the score, which is helped by the points multiplier that can reach up to 3x, suddenly 3 police cars appear chasing you, each time they hit your car it gets more damaged, it ruins your Drift, and every time they touch you your multiplier goes back to 1x, it's something extremely frustrating considering that they can't be avoided, and so they arrest you and you lose 90% of what won during the session. I played until level 33 and gave up, I couldn't stand how frustrating and purposely boring the game is, with the intention of making you fail in something that the game should provide. I'll think hard about whether to buy any Need for speed again, because I don't believe something like Underground 2 can ever exist again.

    Uma enorme decepção. A princípio fiquei feliz em pensar que teria um novo Need for speed que chegasse perto do que foi Underground 2, porém em poucas horas de jogo já possível perceber o quão mal era o que existia ali. 1 - Customizações fracas, poucas opções de peças para cada veículo, alguns veículos possuem partes que podem ser alteradas e outros não, enquanto Underground 2 possuía uma lista extensa de modelos para cada uma das partes do carro, Need for speed heat possui apenas uma média de 3 modelos para cada peça. 2 - Polícia totalmente surreal e insuportável, carros que parecem tanques de guerra, apenas encostam em você e pode ver seu carro perdendo 25% da barra de vida, carros de polícia que conseguem facilmente te ultrapassar mesmo estando em mais de 300km/m. Imagine a situação: Você está em uma prova de Drift que exige curvas controladas e perfeitas para atingir a pontuação, o que é auxiliado pelo multiplicador de pontos que pode chegar até 3x, de repente aparecem 3 carros de polícia te perseguindo, cada vez que atingem seu carro ele fica mais danificado, estraga seu Drift, e em cada vez que encostam em você seu multiplicador volta para 1x, é algo extremamente frustante levando em conta que não podem ser evitados, e assim eles te prendem e você perde 90% do que conquistou durante a sessão. Joguei até nível 33 e desisti, não suportei o quanto o jogo é frustante e propositalmente chato, com a intenção de te fazer fracassar em algo que justamente o jogo deveria proporcionar. Vou pensar muito se comprarei algum Need for speed novamente, porque não acredito que algo como Underground 2 possa existir novamente.    … Expand

    Terrible, terrible handling, cars can't decide whether they are "drifty", being very inconsistent on curves, plus your car will suck no matter what, being easily ousted even by a station wagon. and to make things worse, just by touching an inch of the sidewalk you will lose 75% of your speed in half a second and will need about 30 seconds to catch up.

Despite dodging spikes, road blokes and rhinos. As well as constantly avoiding and disabling the high performance police chasing me. This chopper has apparently solved the energy crisis and come up with a never ending fuel source so I could never lose it to go back to the garage and claim the high performance part. As well as police only ever targeting your car in night time races and AI racers seemingly ramming/blocking you in races in ways that only benefit the AI who is leading to active the age old "catch up mechanic" that is in all racing games. EA you have seemingly perfected the art of making frustrating games as a opposed to challenging games. The worst part is I really want to enjoy this game more! The design/customization choices on cars is amazing, the fact that you can feel the different in the car when you make slight changes, even if the handling and racing is purely arcade-esq (I think I like that blends the elements of realism and fun fantasy). There is a lot to love about it but it is impossible to love because in is hamstrung by the fact that you seemingly couldn't make a challenge game so you just made it frustrating. Also the story **** but that is pretty much standard for any EA game whether it be the Journey in FIFA or any NFS story mode.

The game is so grind heavy its ridiculous, The evo 8 from nfs 2015 was 32,500 but in heat its 72,000, and on top of that getting money in this game is way more tedious and time consuming. So much grind grind grind, an arcade racing game shouldn't be some grind fest it should be that i can pick up and play and have fun. The map is dreary, boring and horrible, stupid corners that are impossible to turn without crashing. The traffic AI will literally block both lanes of a road so you crash. The rubber-banding is so obvious that it makes me want to cut my eyes off. The music selection is horrible, i'm not spanish so why do i have to listen to random spanish songs during a race. Worst of it all, is the night racing/grinding. You have to earn rep, to unlock parts and cars, which seems like a good concept, until you notice that the police in this game are the most broken aspect of everything. They literally know what turn you are going to take, they go even faster than you, when they tap, your side you lose about a quarter of health, WHY IS THERE A HEALTH BAR FOR MY CAR??? This is arcade racing game, i didn't ask for realism and car damage and weapons on my car, they still haven't learnt their mistake from nfs rivals. Police would literally spawn right in front of me during a race, and i would lose at the last turn, because of bs stupid AI. It's literally impossible to get away from the police no matter how fast your car is, the only way is to do a jump, or literally drive into water in the hope that the police follow you in. This would be all fine if THE REP GRINDING WAS NOT COMPULSORY TO PROGRESS THROUGH THE GAME. You have to grind the rep once you first start the game, and you have a low end car, so it's so tedious and time consuming. Once you get to heat level 2, thats it, game over for you. What idiot thought that this was a good idea? Grinding? RPG style elements in a arcade racing game? wtf is this. Absolute disgrace to the series, and i've played every single main title that has come out. The handling system is still the same brake to drift bs, they havent changed anything, moving the drift button from L2 to R2 doesn't mean you have changed the handling model. Stupid forced off road section that literally no gives a f about, cringe story line and voice acting. I see no improvement upon the customisation of cars, apart from sticking rice effects like under-glow and air suspension. The wrap editor is the exact same. The car choice in the game is horrible as well. SO many supercars and hypercars, and this would be no problem, but they cause inflation within the game market because they are so goddamn overpriced, so all other cars are more expensive as well, as i mentioned above with the evo 8. Adding 4 different versions of the same car doesen't mean its good content you've just re-used the same goddamn model. 45 different types of BMW, and 23 types of mercedes is not good car choice. The engine swap idea was good, but it also falls flat on its face, because it ruins the whole aspect of going from 0 to hero, with your starter car if you wanted to. I picked the 180sx as a starter car, then i realised i cant make this into an ultimate racing car because the engine only goes up to 600 hp. Why is there forced barriers to enjoyment and progression?? Its too complicated for a racing game, and way too grind heavy, if you enjoy listening to your starter car, struggling going up hill whilst you are on your way to a race, and then a random police car spawns and you cannot lose them no matter how fast you go and how perfect you take corners, you lose all of the rep you made that night, so you lose all progression and there is nothing you can do. And their concept of story is to just stick the BMW M3 GTR all the way from a game from 2005, into every single game, trying to pull on nostalgia strings, yet it makes no sense for the car to be there. The characters are all boring and i don't care about a single one of them. The game feels lethargic, boring, pathetic to play and there is no enjoyment to have whatsoever. i received the game as a gift, so please don't waste your money on it. THERE IS A REASON WHY GHOST GAMES WERE DISBANDED/ TAKEN OUT FROM PRODUCING NFS after this game because they well and truly messed up every ounce of reputation they had. How does a company produce worse games in sequels? 2015 was great with a few minor problems, payback was worse and this is downright unplayable garbage. would not recommend at all.… Expand

    This game has weird manual controllers and doesn't let you remap. I understand they were going for a paddle-shifter experience but using the same finger for gas and shift up is just crazy and messes with the existing muscle memory of IRL stick-shift drivers (and paddle-shift) who are already used to alternating different body parts between gas and shifting! And holding the controller with index finger on shiftUp and middle finger on gas is awkward.

    Previous games in the series let you remap and NFS 2015 was one of my favourite racing games. I have remapping software but when I looked at my remapping game list and only saw games 10-15 years old, I realized how ridiculous this was to have a one-year-old game in there. So if you have too many games, too little time and don't want to setup remapping software to change to decent manual controls, I'd wait till the next NFS and hope they add controller remapping back in. This game has been out for a year and still no patch to add controller remapping...    … Expand

    The only things that is good in this games are the cars and their customizations. It has a broad variety of cars (classic muscles, european coupes, japanese tuners, hybrid hypercars, etc) and the customization (maybe not as limitless as Carbons' Autosculpt) lets you design and play with your dream car for hours end.

    The writing is really bad and the character motivations are really questionable.

    The added DLC is just a big fat money ga´rab from EA. The free car is literally just a reskinned car which was very expensive. The DLC car you can buy is one of the best cars in the game and it **** costs 5 bucks.

    The atmosphere is completely ruined by all these super and hypercars driving around. It doesn't feel like street racing, it feels like a really bad forza horizon

    The day and night system sounds interesting but since you can ONLY get rep (the experience points from this game) in these night events. This may sound like an interesting idea but sadly, it just evolves into a gigantic grindfest that could go on for 2 hrs.

    This game is VERY buggy and has by far the worst car physics I've ever seen in a racing game.

    The police has a questionable design at day. At night, they are mostly very annoying and unbalanced.

    The best part of this game are easily the night events and the car selection. The night events are really fun but can be very frustrating sometimes.

Честно, впервые за всю серию уши просто обливаются кровью от подобранной музыки, а логика валит к черту на куличики когда летя 350 по встречке и устраивая массовое дтп, на тебя полиция закрывает глаза, а вот если крутишь петли в порту, никого не трогая, то становишься самым опасным гадом в городе. Радует что впервые за серию полиция действительно что то может, но только из-за того что автомобиль теперь имеет запас прочности. Автомобилей достаточно, список большой, но когда видишь в магазине 3 версии никому ненужной Lamborghini huracan, понимаешь что количество автомобилей искусственно накручено. Логика автомобилей тоже поломана напрочь! Где это видано чтобы VW beetle бегал по бездорожью лучше заряженного по полной RR Sport SVR? За все время игры сложилось впечатление что игру клепали люди, далекие от автомобилей и автоспорта в целом и только ради того чтобы сделать «побольше, поярче, более размыто на скоростях». Большая и абсолютно не запоминающаяся карта, которая, в отличии от NFS payback, ничем не привлекает и не запоминается. Зато на эту карту понатыкали «активностей» в духе «собери всех покемонов!» - щиты, прыжки, граффити, покемо...фламинго! 100 фламинго и 130 граффити, которые еще нужно отыскать или же купить за 350+ рублей доступ к карте с отметками, но пока соберёшь их всех - поседеешь. Честно, в таком виде коллекционные предметы в гоночной игре - извращение. В итоге nfs heat по уровню самоистязания за время прохождения превзошёл всю серию dark souls! Но не сложностью гонок и полиции, а бесконечным гриндом денег, репутации и коллекционных предметов и все под отвратительную музыку, которая мало того что отвратительна сама по себе, но и повторяется так часто, словно в игре всего 5 треков. С каким удовольствием можно было кататься в nfs 2015 года и какой же разнообразный, хотя и очень спорный, был nfs payback, но nfs heat переплюнул все игры Nfs - отвратительный наследник великой серии. Самое обидное что играешь и думаешь «ну могли вот тут допилить, ну чуть-чуть не дотянули, ну есть крутые идеи, есть у игры потенциал, но просто всё бросили как есть.»
    А ведь совсем немного не хватает Heat чтобы из гадкого утёнка стать красивым лебедем, но пока что 10 фламинго из 100 и кровоточащие уши. Честно, саундтрек просто отбивает желание вообще играть в эту игру.    … Expand

    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.

    I made an account because this game is such garbage. The cop dynamic is atrocious and completely ruins the game.

The worst part of the game besides the absolutely ridiculous cops are the controls; it feels as if you are trying to drive a goddamn couch on train tracks. The character selection is a process of choosing the hypebeast that is least likely to rape you in a single person tent at Coachella. The only way to advance your car or spend the money that you earn in the game is by doing street races at night which inevitably means that you will have to deal with the mechanisms of the cops. Whom were undoubtedly conceived and orchestrated by a nincompoop who undoubtedly had a violent stepfather who was a cop and beat them for calling their mom a **** over her grounding them for driving their V6 Hyundai Tiburon 70mph in a school zone. If you own a ps4 and are looking for a decent racing game DO NOT BUY THIS GAME. The graphics and cars look good but that’s a credit to the car manufacturers not the game designers.… Expand

    0) Physics. The most disgusting part of this game. Worse than in the Undercover where the car did 360 almost every time you press the handbrake. U2 looks lika a simulator after this.
    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.    … Expand

    I'm not a fan of this game at all. The gameplay sucks, the music sucks and the story sucks. I hate the steering.. I loved "Need for Speed Most Wanted" back in the day but this is nothing like it.... The drifting and steering is soooooooo baddddddd....... Again why is the music so trash? 0/10

    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.    … 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.

    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.
