    The transition between day and night is truly lazy, lacking renowned sow marks in the motor field. Another aspect of the video game does not include a translation into Latin Spanish and this is very annoying, nor can I change the language to English. The game has many technical failures, both bugs and lags, it is truly the worst video game in the series.

    Driving is fun, much better than forza horizon imho, cars are nice but.:
    - 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
    - lot of grinding

    I'm really disappointed, at first I even have fun, even though it's very similar to the 2015 game, but the gameplay is terrible.
    The game only has graphics, the game police is somewhat unfair and boring, the day and night system to earn money and REP separately is a bad idea.

    This is a game that makes you more uncomfortable than entertained, one of the worst games I've played in this franchise.

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

    Point two: The rng in payback I thought way awful but no they managed to make the rng even worst in heat meaning cop chases go on for way two long and they get infinite nitros to keep up making the game feel unfair and there’s no skill in losing them because it’s just by chance. Last Point: i don’t get why they made manual transmission so awkward to use in the game it makes drifting awkward and not fun which is weird because in payback I enjoyed the drifting and found that you can get really good at it the controls in heat are set up they have decided is so clunky still don’t understand why we can’t set our own preset for controllers like in payback. Not worth spending £56 on it

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.

Doing normal races and (side) missions will get you no more than a few points. As I could have guessed there are hundreds if not thousands of videos published on YT. Videos contain glitches, exploits and shady ways on how to obtain points, this not only makes the new players vomit but it also makes them lose interest in the game.

    Police cars are overpowered but that is to be expected. What is not expected are the demanded millions of points in order to progress further in game. If a player really wants to achieve the completion of the game then that player would need to farm points with numerous exploits published by YTbers (unfortunately the best and most efficient way to get points) longer than actually playing the game.

    The story is absolute trash filled with dialogues that are on the same level of pornographic videos. Feels like a denied concept of Fast and Furious.

Физика ужасная, если хочешь чтобы машина была быстрой, окей, только она небудет рулится и заносится на поворотах, если делаешь под бездорожье - она небудет ехать по асфальту, если под дрифт, то это капец, машине нехватит мощности и она несможет нормально дрифтить. Автопарк большой, но зачем добавлять почти одинаковые машины, добавили дохера 911 поршей, добавили спайдерские версии многих автомобилей . ЗАЧЕМ? Дополнительные мисии безсмысленные. Кск я понял, мисии по бездорожью и обычные гонки можно завершить после основного сюжета. Смысл? Машины которые получаешь после завершения просто ужасные по характеристикам. Копы просто терминаторы, ещё и лимитированные починки за ночь добавили, просто замечательно. Короче игра точно нестоит 70 евро. Если хотите почувствовать вкус говна, купите EA Access за 4 евро на месяц. Одна из худших нфс за всё время. Expand

    I just hope that the next need for speed which is not made by ghost games ( God blees ) is a good restart.

    Oh well, about the story: It's shallow, embarassing and poorly written. It's not even a "trying to take itself seriously cheesy storyline (Most Wanted 2005 and Carbon). The game's lore could've been salvaged if challenging the "League" (which was built up for nothing basically) would be set in a Pro Street like environment and ending the game right at the end of the contest.

    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.

    There's no controller remapping support and the controls for manual gearbox are horrible (LB = shiftDown, RB = shiftUp). If you want shifting with analog stick or face buttons, you need third-party remapping software.

    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...

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. You really hammer home the cliché you can't polish a turd but you can roll it in glitter. Expand

    Franko the Mercenary ruins the game. Every night race, the cops cut the game to black and my character gets locked up.

    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.

    -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.
    -Later had to turn off the music. Would you like the option to deselect certain tracks from playing? Too bad.

    -Later had to turn off the music. Would you like the option to deselect certain tracks from playing? Too bad.
    -Can't skip the story as the game purposefully had you drive behind somebody delivering exposition.
    -Maps got populated with not fun chores (Flamingo smashing! Artwork collecting! Drifting! Stop!)
    -Events are designed for you to replay over and over so you can get your level up. Would you like to get first place in a race? Better level up...and level up...and level up...

    Not even fun as a rental game. Midnight Club Los Angeles, NFS Hot Pursuit Remastered, Burnout Paradise, NFS Hot Pursuit Remastered all did it better for me.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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

    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

    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.
