    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.

    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    Best Need For Speed of this generation.

    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.

    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.

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

    This game has its flaws, but I have not put it down since I bought it. The one thing they need to work on still is the handling, but its definitely better than the last installment!!! The customization is a lot of fun and the races are a blast. The cops can be a little difficult at times, but not to the point where I think it's a bad thing.

I love the new map and the graphics are beautiful. I hope for some more vehicles as there was a few times I was scratching at my head at some of the car choices and why they dont have 2019 vehicles or even 2018 is beyond me. The physics of the cars are good but I was hoping for some real car damage I mean slamming a wall at 150mph and not having any damage was kind of lame. The story is ehh but like I said the effort on the racing is much improved. All and all a great step in the right direction. And before I forget, NO MICRO TRANSACTIONS? You actually have to grind on a EA game? Bug thumbs up for that. I'm actually giving this a 8.0/10. A ten to offset these fake ass low scores!!!… Expand

    The city is big and really good and the game looks beatiful. Cops are aggressive again and the story is decent too.

    This genuinely feels like a throwback to the OG most wanted and underground days. There are some performance issues that plague the game but other than that, we finally have a good need for speed game this year. Good job Ghost.

    Очень понравилась новая Need for Speed. В игре чувствуется атмосфера. Добавили дождь, полицию нормальную а не как в Payback только по сюжету. Отличные шутки, все постоянно общаются, стебутся - в общем, молодцы, проработали мир. Это не просто гонки, а такой свой мирок.

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.    … Expand

    The BEST NFS I've played since Carbon. There's nothing else for me to say. I can only this game for hours and not get bored. And pursuits are the most fun in years and not as frustrating as Rival's pursuits. Overall very happy with the game and with what ghost has done.

    EA наконец-то сделала отличную NFS! Разработчики взяли идеи NFS rivals и грамотно улучшили их. Довольно разный геймплей между днем и ночью тоже очень понравилось.

    First of all, I just wanna say I created this account to say that this game is an emotional return to the glory days of need for speed series.

It captures every good aspects taken from the great nfs titles like most wanted (2005), underground 2, pro street and carbon. The game doesn't get boring by no means. Of course just like any other previous nfs titles, you have to participate in different types of races to win money. This is really different from payback as the city is more living, the story is more interesting and of course the cops level is really competitive. The ai level is ok, if your car rating is more than the recommended rating in any specific race you're selecting, you're good. The driving physics is of course arcade and I'm loving the new drifting physics. The customization is outstanding with loads of options available to customize your car and FINALLY NO SPEEDCARDS from payback. The graphics looks great. Now, I would want EA to kinda tweak the photo mode a little bit because it's kinda tricky and annoying to work with but other than everything is good. If you just wanna have fun and race with your friends and hang around and wanna host car meets and stuff, this game is a way to go, it gives more pro street, underground 2, and carbon as in general. Also, I like one of the most important of the game is that you can play offline and people who don't want to multiplayer can play offline.… Expand

    It's a great game but ea own this and ghost games aren't as good as black box and the police are really stupid because of the damn wrench icon next to your car so it's pointless even versing the police at night plus there is no interior customization which sucks also the high heat races are stupid and unnecessary hard and annoying but overall a great game it would be much better if thereIt's a great game but ea own this and ghost games aren't as good as black box and the police are really stupid because of the damn wrench icon next to your car so it's pointless even versing the police at night plus there is no interior customization which sucks also the high heat races are stupid and unnecessary hard and annoying but overall a great game it would be much better if there was no car damage and interior customization plus widebody kits and even unique ones plus I wish there was car packs for the game… 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.
