    Story short, why even bother.

    Cop AI stupid and OP at the same time.

    Rubber banding all over the place. Payback had this, but in this game it's way too much.

    Game crashes from time to time.

    Objects pop in.

    PS4 Pro.

В остальном, убогий сюжет, баланс тачек на ноле (наверно разрабы дрочат на бмв и суют свои стручки в глушитель), Ужаснейший геймдезайн. Требовательная графика которая выглядит как высер для фортнайтера. Купил ради этой игры подписку на месяц в ориджине, в итоге на 20 лвл снёс это тупое родео. Благо есть во что поиграть по подписке, типа Джэдайчика, и фифы 20 (тоже говнище если что, строго в драфты и карьеру).

If you actually look at the reviews and decides to play this game, then you're missing out on something that is really amazing. This nfs throughout the years is the closest title that got close to mw(2005) and u2, and pro street in my opinion. 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.. Just ignore this reviews and try it out, I'm telling you, this is an entertaining racing game that gives you the feel of underground 2, pro street, carbon, most wanted all combined.. Expand

Pues que no existe innovación, NFS Heat nos muestra porque esta saga sigue estancada y no ha podido tener protagonismo ya que solo reúne mecánicas de juegos anteriores. Pero esto es culpa de los desarrolladores? o es que el género no puede seguir innovando y avanzando?, parece que cada día que pasa, los árcade de carreras se quedan mas atrás de los simuladores y lentamente se van desvaneciendo como género.

    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 graphics are average. It looks strange and unrealistic as hell in the day time. Night time it looks pretty good. Car sounds are great and the models are amazing too. The handling system is, well, NFS handling and its had minor improvement over Payback. But it’s still clunky and strange. You have to try it to really get what I mean. It feels very Crew 2 like and Payback. I’d give it a 6/10 at max for the handling. Overall Heat has a a few good factors but the rest of the game is just mediocre at best. I don’t know how people think this game is better than Forza OVERALL when that series does a lot more things way better. Customization and sound design are the only things NFS does better. Everything else is average at best

Очень понравилось что героя игры теперь можно не просто выбрать, но и одевать его как хочешь. В общем, класс. Машины стали намного лучше управляться. Музыка в игре классная, очень подходит. И она зависит от того, что происходит, например когда коп догоняет, становится страшной такой. В общем, OST наконец-то классный сделали в NFS.

    Есть небольшие проблемы с графикой и геймплеем, а именно с анимацией. Волны в море - они ужасны. То как сминаются кусты под машиной - ну это вообще полный бред. Можно снести толстое дерево на дороге на скорости 0,1 км/ч. Не машина, а броневик какой-то сминающий все на своем пути - это минус.

    А так все круто, красиво. Совершенно другая и новая игра, хоть и на движке Payback.

    This game is much better than the previous one, if not for the lore, and because it is destroyed no matter what a 15-meter tree is.

    - 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.

    Also, they are arguing about day time because the city looks deserted. Let me break it down for you as I understood the game so far:
    1. In the day time, you do legal stuff, legal races ( there are no activities in the streets in the day time)
    2. At night, nowhere the city is alive, full of cops, other players.
    It doesn't have the greatest story but is not the worst.
    In the past NFS games, we cried that the cops are **** Now you cry that they are a nightmare in heat 3. My advice to those who cry for this, GET BETTER AT THE GAME!
    NO MICROTRANSACTIONS! you can customize your avatar and your car without paying from your wallet.
    I played this game for 2 days now and I am enjoying it.
    I didn't have issues with the game. Everything goes smooth. Yes! it needs some graphics adjustments, but a few.
    For an NFS that comes from EA, and in comparison with other NFS games (from the past 3 too 5 years). This one gives me the Wanted vibe and has potential if you like cop chasing, running from cops and cruising with your buddies in the night time taking down cops and players to gain REP.

    After 2 or 3 miserable entries...this game comes along and reinvigorates my faith in the franchise and the direction it is going.
    All I want to do is buy more parts and more cars and after that....do it all over again.

    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.

    Need for speed Heat is great! Don't read reviews with a score of 0, because they just are from frustrated people or Forza fanboys. I have played both FH 4 and NFS Heat, and i can say NFS Heat is different, but not worse. In some ways it is even better!

    Graphics: the graphics are okay and sometimes even good. Not the most beautifull i have seen but with some patches it can be even

    Graphics: the graphics are okay and sometimes even good. Not the most beautifull i have seen but with some patches it can be even better. Overall the game looks nice with very detailed cars and a nice environment.

    Sound: the sounds is just amazing!! NFS always had good sound, but this is just getting better. Each car sound different depending how you upgrade it and you can even tweak the exhaustsystem for your own personalized sound. And yes, the sound is one of the points NFS beats games like Forza big time.

    Gameplay: it's all about the love for cars and do races to upgrade them: day for money and night for reputationpoints, to unlock upgradeparts. Handling isn't realistic but it's fun. Above all you can tweak it to your own likings to a drift, race or rally build.

    The storymode is pretty fun also. Much better then it was back in 2015 or in Payback. It is is'nt great, but personally i don't play a racegame for the story. Does other racegames have a great 'story'? Don't think so. When you want a good story you have to play Uncharted 4, The last of us or Days Gone.

    Police are also back and more agressive then ever. In my opinion and especially in the beginning with a beginner car, they are way to hard. Good thing they are back but very frustrating when you have hypercar and the police are keeping up with great ease and making you feel you drive a 75 horsepower car instead of a Koenigsegg.

    The game really is great and shines on sound and how you can tune your car. Really a lot of options to make it your own unique car with even your own sound, handling and visual upgrades. Hopefully they fix balancing problems with the police and improve the overall game, because the basics are solid! Now the question; is NFS Heat better then Forza Horizon 4? Yes and no. Yes, the sound is much much much better and you can upgrade your car to your own liking. On the other hand, Forza looks much much better, and the handling is more realistic. In my opinion NFS has more of a fun factor for long replayability then Forza due its deep upgrading system.

    I rate this game with a solid 8/10.

And it shows in the gameplay of racing around this very nice world with improved but not yet perfect handling (way better than previous ghost games). The cops can be pretty unforgiving at low levels, but if you be patient and practice and wait until youre truely ready to take on high heat levels, you will have some of the most intense fun ever in a racing game! Of course there are problems like a so so framerate and a map that should really have more ai drivers to make it feel more alive, but through post game support i hope this can be a new beginning for NFS.

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

    Best Need For Speed of this generation.
    The city looks great, is detailed and feels true to it's inspired location. Meanwhile the Handling is the best it has been since Ghost took over, Cars do not twitch around on their own accord and you finally have full control. Drifting is harder and therefore presents a bigger learning curve. All in all this is a extremely good need for speed game

    I would probably score this game an 8, but there are two things that are spoiling it for me so far, one small thing and one large. The first small thing is the mini map, the scale of the car on the minimap is way too big, which means you are spending a lot longer trying to work out which turn you are taking relative to the map. This issue could be alleviated if there was a racing line, orI would probably score this game an 8, but there are two things that are spoiling it for me so far, one small thing and one large.

This issue could be alleviated if there was a racing line, or the option to put one, on the road in front of you like many racers have. But unfortunately, no such option exists.
    The second, more frustrating complaint for me is the drift mechanic. Drifting feels as good as it did in NFS rivals, however, the button combination to drift is simply the worst choice they have made this instalment. Double pumping the gas, if you double pump too quick, NO Drifit and you go first to last. If you double pump too slow, NO drift and you go first to last. If you have an S-bend, you have to double pump around the S bend, and it is highly likely one drift won't work.

    They absolutely nailed drifting in NFS rivals, where you just tapped the left trigger when you wanted to initiate drifting. I have no idea why they don't give us the option for that, or why in every instalment since they have tried to fix what wasn't broken. It is really annoying because you can be going seriously fast, try to drift at the perfect moment, in first place, and the race is just over, because it didn't work. And you are resetting, sometimes it happens a few times. Racers need to make drivers feel satisfied, not screwed over.

    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.

    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.
