    The best Need for Speed entry in a while. The vibe of the world and art directions is awesome. The customisation of the car combined with the character customisation add a lot of depth into the game and variety.
    The cars feel great and the handling model improved a lot compared to Payback and it's very intuitive to fit it to your tastes with the Live tuning.

    Night battles with cops while doing illegal street races is the real soul of need for speed    … Expand

    NFS heat is fun to play, I like how the story is dark but overallthe story is at least decent so far, the handling is a major improvement from the last game, from 2015 and heck this game is far leagues better than mw12,payback,rivals and heck even the crew 2 and the first one, I'm so happy that the dreaded speedcards are gone, soundtrack I do like it because it's got Latino, EDM and evenNFS heat is fun to play, I like how the story is dark but overallthe story is at least decent so far, the handling is a major improvement from the last game, from 2015 and heck this game is far leagues better than mw12,payback,rivals and heck even the crew 2 and the first one, I'm so happy that the dreaded speedcards are gone, soundtrack I do like it because it's got Latino, EDM and even rap, I'm not gonna be too negative like hating it blindly, just treat it fairly, this is big step up for racing games as a whole, the game does have performance issues on pc but so far, but the game isn't perfect I'm happy with that.… Expand

    The game was not at the required level, the control of the car is bad and there is no development in the game, cars are few and modification is limited.

    Great game by ghost games. Beautiful graphics.
    Customization is top notch.
    Good amount of cars.
    Driving mechanics could be better.
    Cops are too aggressive.
    Rewards well if u manage to escape at 5 star heat.

    Need for speed heat ist eine irgendwie so als hätten most wanted und pro street nen kind zusammen gezeugt tags über die legalen event rennen und nachts gehts in die guten alten strassenrennen und gehen die cops


    Das fahrverhalten ist ätzend um fast jeder kurve muss man driften und nachts mit den ganze lichtern und cops im nacken verliert man schnell den überblick

    I wanted to like this one, I preordered it and I was so excited to pick up my copy this morning. Should of have known better, EA how are you still so incompetent and Ghost games what the f*ck kinda of developers do you hire? I’m done with this franchise, canceling my Jedi Fallen Order preorder as well.    … Expand

    It’s amazing full of underground, most wanted, carbon and prostreet vibes. Modern and fresh! And the story although a little short for my taste is way better than the previous games. I had a lot of fun playing it. Oh and those cops are deadly lol

    The game is so much fun, Love what they did with the day night mechanic.
    car customization is crazy good.
    My only complain is i don't like the soundtrack but i can mute the music and play my own.

    Graphics sucks
    Story sucks
    Length about 10h
    Police's too aggressive

    The only thing that is really well done in this game - it's rally, race against the clock and customization from NFS 2015

    It's absolutely amazing how ghost has improved HDR and weather on this gorgeous game. The dynamics look fantastic.
    When it's raining and go under the cover of building, you'll see how beautiful the weather system works.
    It's incredible how free you rae at customizing the cars.

    Great game, way better than the previous entry in the series (Payback), better graphics, handling and no predatory microtransactions as of today at least.

    It's not flawless but nothing is, I'm enjoying my time playing it and that's all that matters.

    Once again, they did hack work when there is someone to navigate — forza horizon. Even the boring crew 2 with a huge world and a bunch of activities (some of which are just boring) and more nice graphics (even there is a first-person view) looks better what on account of need for speed - 20? It's a shame, close the series, do not disgrace.

    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.
