To keep me going i had to broadcast so I wouldn't stop playing. That is really bad when someone has to force them self. This gives you 2 modes. Racer or cop and both of them gets boring after a few hours. Soon you will see that you are doing the same thing over and over and over and over. The multiplayer gives this a advantage. If your a racer and someone else is a cop. They can take you down and it can cause you to find a rival (as the name says) but adding a multiplayer doesn't make the whole game. So I would recommend this to be a rental. Or if you have it, let a friend borrow it. My rating will stand but need for speed will have to show me that they still have it in there soul. I mean grand theft auto is basically doing racing and so much better. That's a shame to have a name like need for speed and not deliver what fans want.… Expand

    I didn't buy this full price and for that I am glad. There is some enjoyment to be had but it is heavily tempered with annoyance and frustration so if you have the patience of a saint and it's heavily discounted then go for it, otherwise avoid.    … Expand

    Also the way you select music is s***. Your only button is to press up which will change to the next song. The radio should've been like the one on GTA V. Different channels and the possibility to to check the name of the current song. Also why isn't there a menu to select which songs should be in the game like there is on a another EA game, UFC.

    Do the things above and make it possible to turn off the bull**** cop chase soundtrack so that you can listen to the radio all the time and I will tolerate the cheesy crappy story and give the game a 8/10.

    This game is my favorite out of the entire series. A verity of weapons, 2 careers, an array of cars, one huge open world, and a serious but dark story and when you mix all of these it is incredible.

They are both heavily different with each perspective being different with racers seeing cops nothing more than little dogs    This game is my favorite out of the entire series. A verity of weapons, 2 careers, an array of cars, one huge open world, and a serious but dark story and when you mix all of these it is incredible.

    The game revolves around a cop story mode and a racer mode. They are both heavily different with each perspective being different with racers seeing cops nothing more than little dogs chained up on a fence trying to chase the mailman, while cops see racers as a menace of society and it works out too.
    There is over 80 cars in the game and with a frame rate almost with a solid 1080p 30FPS the game runs very well.

    Weapons are also very unique with some being reused only for a different task. Such as the EMP and EMP Mine. They can reach up to levels as high as 4 and that's actually pretty decent. Cars look almost realistic but however it contains a sad story in customization zone. You can only customize car paint, wheel paint, some wraps and decals and that's it.

    The story mode is separated in to categories that are distinct from other categories in the respected faction. You can rank up to 61 in the game. After beating a rank you will be able to unlock cars or wraps (racers only). Cops get cars for free while racers have to buy them.

    The game's multiplayer however is blended in to the single player. That doesn't mean it's online only. Pausing in NFS Rivals is impossible especially when in single player which is kind of a boner killer if you ask me. The game also features easydrive again but it feels better than most wanted '12 with the U.I. on the screen still.

    Since this is an EA game lets talk about the glitches. Whenever you are driving at a fast paced rate, the game will sometimes automatically stop you in your tracks while it is going on still. But this doesn't happen to often. There is also quick respawn glitch which doesn't happen often either. Getting stuck out of the map doesn't happen to often either so thank goodness but when you do you're forced to restart the game because what happens is (one situation) you're stuck, that's it. Then, you can move outside the map but the only way to get out is by *coughs x2* killing yourself if you know what I mean.

    The cops in the game are aggressive and will do whatever they can to bust you if your on the opposite faction. The game also comes with a multiplier which increase as up are out in the open. Deviation. More points, more money. Speedpoints count as your currency and used to buy upgrades and such.

    Easter eggs are also in the game as well.    … Expand

    Muy parecido al hot pursuit usando casi las mismas armas, no hay tantos coches como en otros nfs pero es entretenido, la campaña de ambos lados (policias y corredores) es realizar misiones que puede ser un poco repetitivo incluso algunos muy difíciles. La conducción es algo decente pero los choques son muy bestias e incluso a veces el coche sale volando del golpe.

You have more choice over how you progress in the career, and you can actually use your speed points to upgrade cars and buy pursuit tech. As a racer, you have an incentive to escape the cops. Unlike Hot Pursuit, this game is open world ,albeit nowhere in the same league as Burnout Paradise in terms of content. However, much of the magic that Hot Pursuit had has been lost. The driving attempts to be less arcade and drifty, and in doing so, it's lost the sense of speed so it's no longer intense. There seems to be no difference between a good and bad driver. You can crash and be as imprecise as you like and still get the gold medal in a time trial. The promise of customisation is poorly realized. Visually all you can do is change the colour and number plate, and performance-wise you can do some basic upgrades but no tuning. Furthermore, there are no tiers of cars. The performance difference is substantial in the menus, but on the road it's difficult to tell apart a Cayman S from a 458. There's just so little excitement in this game. I's just full throttle all the time with no need to be precise or skillful in any way. You can't be bad at this game. So in summary, the attempt to offer more of the same is a sensible idea, but overall Rivals lacks the excitement that Hot Pursuit delivered. The additions are not substantial enough, so I would suggest avoiding this if you have played Hot Pursuit.… Expand

The racers have different car, decorations and upgrades and the game does a good job on showing the difference in ideology and varying the two groups from each other. The music has also been greatly improved no more irritating songs from the 70's but, pursuit music isn't as good as in Hot Pursuit (2010) but it does give you adrenaline. You can start playing right when you finish the tutorial and switch from cop to racer instantly the environment is beautiful and is filled with different locations. Better vehicles are included in this game like the Ferrari for example but even the Venom GT (fastest car in the world) can also be used. Pursuits are fun for both sides as being a racer you have your points at stake and once busted you will loose them all and cops can flip on their siren anytime to catch a criminal or go undercover and catch them by surprise! While traditional game modes like races and timed events are still present. The story isn't much but it does what it was meant to do an show what the racers are doing and how the Redview County Police department responds to them. Where the game really shines however is in it's online mod that supports up to 8 players players can either race in head to head matches, join in or lead pursuits or just drive around and explore. Racers focus more on team co-operation and speed while as cops focus on brute force and tactics the formula works and no longer will the cops and racers be using the exact same vehicles as in Hot Pursuit cause they all have their own unique vehicles. The game is a blast and a must-have for car lovers even if it's not as realistic as the bigger titles it is a fun game and a rewarding one.… Expand

Cops will spot you from across the map while escaping, and even spawn behind you just to keep a pursuit going. The game is built like this by design. Even the other racers seem to be twice as fast and strong as the best car you can possibly get fully upgraded. This game is completely unbalanced for being a racer.

I still love the polished NFS experience but the very nature of this game unpolishes the NFS name.

En si es bastante básico pero funciona, las carreras son frenéticas así como las persecuciones, hay una buena selección de autos, los poderes son satisfactorios de usar y gráficamente el juego cumple muy bien. El problema es que el juego es demasiado corto, no hay tuning, los policías y algunos poderes están rotos, la historia se siente vacía, y super desaprovechada y por ultimo, tengo sentimientos encontrados por el sistema de recompensas para los pilotos. Por un lado me gusta ya que te pone constantemente tenso, y siendo que hay un multiplicador, ofrece un factor de "riesgo y recompensa", que te obliga a ser muy cuidadoso y a pensartelo bien al iniciar una carrera, pero por otro lado es frustrante haber perdido todo el dinero que conseguiste en media hora, haciendo que esas carreras que hiciste el juego haga como que no cuente y ademas de que las carreras de interceptor son las que mas dinero dan y super fáciles de realizar, ya que solo hay que destruir al policía que te persigue al principio y ya, por lo que este sistema de riesgo/recompensa cae en picado.
    Tuve suerte de comprarlo con descuento a 3 dolares, pero de salida estaba 30!!! Solo recomiendo comprar este juego si se rebaja a 5 o menos, ahí si que vale la pena. Te ofrece un buen rato de carreras frenéticas y divertidas, pero no mucho mas, ya que ese es otro punto negativo del juego, la falta de innovación.    … Expand

    I quit after about 4 hours of gameplay, and my favorite part of this game was when I went to a parking lot, and played around with the moveable shopping carts for 10 minutes because there was nothing else to do.    … Expand

    Less possibilitys. As a streetracer, you are fleeing from the police (They are not better than the streetracer) and as the police, you are hunting the streetracer and you have to do rancid tasks that are boring like "crash an enemy from behind.." ... not more. But the map and the graphics are very nice :)

    A 5 is generous. The pursuit mechanic is broken. Races are fun and all but as soon as the cops give chase, there's a 50% chance you will get wrecked and lose all the points you worked so hard to earn.

    An amazing arcade racing game. Solid story without being intrusive and awesome graphics for its time. Its so much fun being in a heat 10 pursuit against some insane police a put all your sp on the line. This is one of the more underrated need for speed games of this generation.

That brings to the final point it is not just about racing it is also about disabling your opponent's vehicles. I like that but sometimes I would like to have an option to simply race (I guess I have to buy a different game for it). The multiplayer is very fun and still (April 2020) you can find many people playing this game. I bought this game in the PS store for 5 USD and for this price it is a wonderful game!… Expand

    One of the worst games ever. You car gets wrecked instant even if you upgrade it. And the games is scripted. Every race you win in the last 25%. Don't recommend spending time with this one.

    Less than avarage game, all road are super thin, you have 1 cm to left or right before your car crash, 2 crashes means game over. The only reason this isn't a 0 which it could have been, is because the skydomes, the enviorments, the roads, all look fantastic. So yes, graphics? 10/10. Everything else? 0/10. I think it deserves a 3.

    Everything about this game is good. Good graphics, no bugs, and good UI. The only problem is the game itself. It makes me want to sleep. Literally. After you outrun 1 cop, a million more come on to you.

Up to try any genre of games and sometimes I find something new that I didn't think I'd like. I own a PC (built by me), Xbox One X, Xbox Series X, PS3, PS4, PS5, and a Switch. I prefer Playstation due to their focus on narrative games. For scoring, I’ll be using the Gameinformer review scale and of coursed influenced by my personal opinions.

    (8) Very Good. Innovated, but perhaps not in the right choice for everyone. This score indicates that there are many good things to be had, but arguable so.

    What stands out in this game is the cop vs street racers aspect. The story is pretty much nonexistent besides setting up the basics. One of the best looking and the cars handle well but that’s about it for the positives. Even though it doesn’t have a story it’s pretty additive and fun to play. If all you care about is cars, driving fast, and don’t mind a little car combat with police this game is worth trying, even in 2022.    … Expand

    Great racing game for those who just want to have fun and don't care if the game is ultra realistic.

    And the songs in this game I think are one of the best in the franchise.

    Need for Speed Rivals offers a familiar experience but fails to stand out within the franchise. The always-online feature is disappointing, as it frequently forces players to migrate to other hosts after a short time. Furthermore, the game's inconsistency in the environment, transitioning abruptly from sand and dry areas to mountains and winter, detracts from the overall experience.

    A fast and furious racing game, where cops constantly try to catch the racers. Multiplayer is seamless, but it feels like a single player mode, since you rarely bump (pun intended) into other players. [Jan 2014]

    Need for Speed: Rivals is nothing if not ridiculously dumb fun, but that just makes its multiplayer failings all the more disappointing.
