    Физика ужасна! Либо утюг либо дрифт при нажатии тормоза. Как в это играть, машина не ощущается настоящей. Только тюнинг радует, а в остальном не очень...

    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.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. 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

    Frostbite engine sucks. Load times are long. The looks bad. The racing is just okay. But overall the game looks bad and lacks that hot pursuit catch.

    One of the worst racing games Ive ever played. You lose all your money if you crash into something that looks destructable while getting chased. All of it. Embarassing. On top of that terrible handling that feels like unrealistic garbage. A game made for people who dont exist.

    I just installed it with PS Plus.
    1) No button configuration? EA are out of their minds.
    2) Barely no vibration? What is this?...

    It took me 10 seconds of gameplay to uninstall this garbage. 10 seconds.

    the game in principle is very good, but I have a question for EA from a payback where do you get such stupid and tasteless exhaust pipes why such cops can’t even overtake them to Reger from a payback it’s not normal why cars are slower than in reality, well, it seems so and so the game is suitable I advise

    Çayımı alıyorum, tekrar eden oyun içi müzikleri kapatıp Ankaralı Namık açıyorum ve araba sürüyorum, yarışıyorum. Yeterince güzel araba ve yarış mevcut. Araba sürmeyi seviyorsanız yeterli. Tek uyarım Heat seviyeniz 3e ulaşınca garaja koşun. Yoksa ayvayı yersiniz. Polislerden kaçmak mümkün değil.

    Most frustrating and inconsistent AAA racing game. The damage detection is garbage, the off-road races are nothing like those in NFS Payback and the limited performance customisation is just not fun.

    Completely unbalanced game. Cops are op. Most cars drive like trains. You basically just have two modes — drift or train. It's really a shame and doesn't deserve to be called Need for Speed.

    Another sign that NFS is dead, but it's actually a good thing.

    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    Another sign that NFS is dead, but it's actually a good thing.

    The story is... ok there's some and I doubt anybody expected something else than cringe from it (hence not disappointed).

    -Had to turn off the voices for both the cops and NPCs. Was playing a female character and try-too-hard cops were calling me a son-of-a-***** in their best growly voice. Ugh. Easily one of the worst writing you'll come across in games.

    -Maps got populated with not fun chores (Flamingo smashing! Artwork collecting! Drifting! Stop!)

    A huge disappointment.

    At first I was happy to think that there would be a new Need for speed that came close to what was Underground 2, but in a few hours of gameplay it was already possible to realize how bad was what there was. 1 - Weak customizations, few options for parts for each vehicle, some vehicles have parts that can be changed and others not, while Underground 2 had an    A huge disappointment.

    At first I was happy to think that there would be a new Need for speed that came close to what was Underground 2, but in a few hours of gameplay it was already possible to realize how bad was what there was. 1 - Weak customizations, few options for parts for each vehicle, some vehicles have parts that can be changed and others not, while Underground 2 had an extensive list of models for each of the car parts, Need for speed heat has only an average of 3 models for each part. 2 - Totally surreal and unbearable police, cars that look like war tanks, just touch you and you can see your car losing 25% of its life bar, police cars that can easily overtake you even being at more than 300 km / m. 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

    - story is... it would be better without it, it's so stupid and childish and after all really short
    - police is too hard to avoid without cheesing

    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.
