    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.

    Помойка с самым ужасным ии (не он даже умный, но когда ты видишь как перед тобой в 200 метрах уберается ИИ и тут же телепортируется еще дальше, становится очень грустно).

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).    … Expand

    If you love racing games. This one is for you. Honestly just mindless total fun. Race and then watch a couple of corny cut scenes. Rinse and repeat. Cool cars. Big comeback for NFS

The story mode is interesting and the customization is amazing. Players wanted day/night- they got that, they wanted amazing competitive cops->now some players complaining about the cops being actually good, talk about the irony.. 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

    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    … Expand

    Since the shameful Re-Boot in 2015 and the even worser Payback, "NfS:"Heat" finally refuels the Expectations in one of the oldest Game-Series.

    Solid casual experience perfect for me home with my twins :) I would have liked more fast travelling during the days where it wouldn't break the night rules to events but when you unlock most garages it isn't far anywhere.

    This series ended with NFS RIvals , that was the last great game of this series , everything that came after like Payback and this POS are not worth the play time even for free.

    The customization is still the strongest factor for NFS and the arguably the best in any racing game. The cops are better but are frustratingly cheating a lot of the time. You can be driving casually and for no reason the cop wants to hunt you down. You can be in a 1000 HP Ferrari FXX K and a Dodge Charger cop car will keep up with you like what LMAO???

    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    … Expand

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.

    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.
