    Finally amazing NFS experience.

    Choosing BRZ out of first 3 cars was no brainer for me, I love it, so much customization for it.
    Based on the first impressions. I love it and can’t wait to get back home and play some more.
    If you want another online racing game go look elsewhere, if you enjoy single player street racing games this just for you.
    For those who complain about driving experience, it’s an arcade game which supposed to be fun and it is. If you want realistic (authentic handling) driving experience buy a real car with a stick and start driving. It is like complaining that sex doll does not feel like a real thing.

    Almost forgot drifting is so amazing in this game.

    Best NFS since Underground 2, no joke.

    Sure, there's some issues, it's not perfect but the awesome customization, great progression system and great graphics makes it stand out from the rest. All it needs is a little fine tuning like stability and extra parts and cars and it could very well be the best racing game this gen so far! Don't listen to the haters!

    Here, you get all the sensations that were lost in the last few NFS games. The story may be bland like in any other racing games, but the customization alone would be worth the try. The fact that you can fully max out an original AE86 with all the crazy body kits is enough for you, if you are an Underground fan, to enjoy the game immensely. Do not trust review especially by IGN because they didn't even mention the customization part in the final marking scheme, this is plain stupid.    … Expand

    Need for Speed listened to its fans, and that’s why this game deserves to call itself a reboot of the franchise. There’s a few minor flaws, but especially in its multiplayer, this Need for Speed is the first fun one to come out in years.

    Copy-Paste :)

    Great Game. Nothing more.

    Seriously. This game is great! I was hoping for some sort of "Underground 3" and it is for me. The customization is so much fun. I've spent hours tweaking and styling cars (and the selection is perfect too by the way). Racing is a blast aswell! You wouldn't believe how satisfying it is to hit those nice drifts around the corners in your unique car.

I've spent hours tweaking and styling cars (and the selection is perfect too by the way). Racing is a blast aswell! You wouldn't believe how satisfying it is to hit those nice drifts around the corners in your unique car.

    Now, I've read about the issues that some players have:

    1. Rubberbanding: Someone wrote it is "soul-crushingly unfair" :
    Well I have not experienced ANY problems within my playthrough! Yes, there are races where the opponents are crazy fast, but the solution is simple: Earn money, buy a better car and maximze it's performance. You will outstrip any car, even the hard-difficulty opponents. It is that simple!

    2. Always online: So what? I don't travel with my console and most of us have stable internet at home.
    And if the servers are offline? Well there are other things to do in the meantime.. Come on!

    3. No cockpit view: Yeah, could have been a feature. But honestly it wouldnt work with the game, you constantly drift from left to right. You wouldnt be able to drive like that. After all you also might want to admire the awesome car you built at any given time.

    4. No Manual transmission: Could have been a feature as well, but seriously.. Is it really that big of a deal for you guys?

    5. The cutscenes are "cringeworthy":
    They are not... I really enjoyed the cutscences. They add a lot the the experience and I am happy that they went with the choice of real actors.

    Now lets do a little Pro/Con

    Pros (More my favorites about the game:
    - Gameplay (Racing is as blast!)
    - Customization (If you can imagine it, you can build it!)
    - Soundtrack (For me always ultra important.. Soundtrack is a 10/10 aswell)
    - Details (For example: if you install a sound-system in your car: You stop outside the garage and the song playing sounds like it comes out of your car. Even the trunk makes a "rattle sound" like if you had installed a subwoofer)

    Cons:
    - It is true that theres nothing really left to do after you completed the story.
    (But have to be creative. Buy cars, customize them and drive your favorite events again, do the daily challenges.)

    So honestly. This game is perfect for you if you want to experience the "underground days" again.    … Expand

    I like that the cut scenes are skipable, but-- I choose not to skip them because it is nice to see actual actors in game and I want to see the story play out.
    The AI is much improved from over the beta and there is no longer that 'magical boost' the AI would get in the beta.
    Customization is top notch! I love being able to change my bumpers, go wide body, add splitters, change wings, change trunk lids, even adjust the stance to make the wheels flush or make em poke if you want. I LOVE IT. I really wish all cars games had this level of customization. Most people will play for the cool end game cars, for me-- I am playing to make the 242 and GTI look DOOOOPE.

You race in and you see a lot of people online, they can even interfere in your races during your event. There's always someone online on the streets and the share picture feature with the comunity is awesome.

    Certainly not the worst game in the series, but had the potential to be so much more. However, this is a BIG improvement from Rivals. Online play is fun and not demanding like Rivals was. The levelling system keeps you pushing for the next level all the time too. If you're disappointed in the latest works from the NFS team, this may put that smile back on your face!

It's not perfect but a really great addition to the series with some seriously cool cars and customizations.

    The goods:
    The graphics, cars, and modding is excellent. While the drifting is difficult at first it becomes very rewarding when you turn off "Drift Stability Assist" and get the hang of the throttle control.

    I've spent hours visually customizing the cars which, to me is a huge portion of the enjoyment.
    The way the FMV's augment your rides into the scenes are also excellently done.

    The bad:
    Collision detection seems really off at times. Available parts for cars seems very arbitrary at times and there are not always the options that should be there. For example no tail or headlights for a BRZ when in the real world there tons of choices! Some cars have limited customisation like an R32 GTR!

    General points:
    The AI can be questionable but I can see they try and keep the races tight so you always feel like it's a tight race, however sometimes it can be a little annoying being overtake at 360km/h by a 180SX.

    Always online... who cars, I never really see other players, they don't bug me and I am online anyway to sign into PSN.

    Advice:
    If you get it turn Drift Stability Assist off!!! The system is totally rubbish and it feels like you are constantly wrestling with the games taking over the input.

    To Ghost Games:
    I feel like you did rush this a little to get it out. It'd have been nice for you to add some polish to some of the details. I hope that you will be patching the game to sort out some small issues:
    * pop-spawning npc vehicles
    * being able to view car while changing rims,
    * relax the "ai catchup" or rubberbanding
    * make the list of mods more consistent across cars
    * mirror left and right decals
    * decal editor seems kinda hard to use
    * tone down or provide options for steering input. Sometimes it feels like the game is controlling the car not me. I'd almost like a "raw input" mode.    … Expand

    Right.

    So I have 30 hours played into this game already and all I have to say is, I absolutely love it. I can honestly say there hasn't been a car game like this since underground. I love everything about it. The music, the sound effects of the vehicles, the looks of the game, the feel, the handling etc. I can spend hours just tuning cars exactly the way I want to. And I can spend    Right.

I love everything about it. The music, the sound effects of the vehicles, the looks of the game, the feel, the handling etc. I can spend hours just tuning cars exactly the way I want to. And I can spend hours just driving around the streets not even doing "Story" missions. It's very easy to get currency in the game which is fantastic, meaning you're not playing for hours to get just one upgrade which is very nice.

    That beings said. A few things that aren't so great.

    Handling. Very difficult to get used to at first. After the amount of hours I've put in, I'm just now getting used to it. In drift mode, you're car feels like it just wants to drive itself. In grip mode, it feels like it takes forever to turn. DEPENDING on how well tuned you're vehicle is. The tuning is crucial in this game. There is some driving assists that you can keep on or off. Such as Brake assist and Drift Assist. Having both of these on and your handle meter to the drift side, you'll start to drift just by basically turning. So anyway, handling is a thing to get used to.

    Small things
    - Can't switch your song
    - 5 Cars only (That you can own at a time)
    - Not the biggest library of cars
    - FPS does drop from time to time
    - Wish there was an easier way to look at your friends snapshots individually instead of sifting through every single one of your friends snapshots
    - Game is kinda quiet, just means you gotta turn it up more than you're used to
    - Only 8 players per sever(map)
    - To have a party going you can't be already playing the game, you have to restart and invited your friends before hand to be able to join a game that isn't already full. Because if you're already playing the game is always full with 8 players and you and you cant join or invite. You have to get lucky if the room isn't already full

    That's all I have to pick on right now. But all in all the game is great and I love it and I'm addicted to it.    … Expand

    Drifting plays an absolutely massive part in Need for Speed, something which I’m actually a huge fan of. The only problem is, the game just doesn’t offer any instruction or drifting techniques to allow new players to get to grips with this integral mechanic. Not only that, AI racers are so oblivious to other players on the road trying to do anything remotely technical can often end in frustration, especially when you’re trying to conquer a long drift-chain combo and the tit behind you decides to ram full-speed into you destroying your combo.

    Unfortunately this has been one of the main problems with the series as of late. Rivals suffered with crappy AI too, which only makes games like this frustrating beyond belief. I’m not just talking about the fictional racers in the game either, the police AI is just as ridiculous making the Outlaw path a pretty difficult one to follow, unless you decide to hold the cops hand by allowing them to catch up.

    Fortunately AI is the only real problem with Need for Speed, sure it’s a bit of a massive one, but there are many bright points which hopefully outshine this issue.

    One of those things is the games visuals. I’m not sure how they’ve done it, but Ghost Games has managed to create one of the most realistic games I’ve ever witnessed. Not just with the cars, but with the environments too, specifically with lighting. Though considering most of the races are at night in wet weather, a number of factors play into the visual side of things.

    Not only that, the cutscenes, though fairly cheesy and consists of more fist bumps than I can count, look fantastic especially considering the cars are rendered in-game, making it look even more brilliant. The visuals in Need for Speed are second to none. They left me thoroughly dumbfounded and I’m still impressed with the way the game looks each time I start up the game.

    One of the other huge selling points of Need for Speed was that every car in the game can be purchased from the very beginning, no unlocks are needed, all you need is the cash to splash on a pricey vehicle. The only real problem you’ll have is that getting that cash to actually purchase that Lamborghini you’ve been eyeing up, feels very much like any other progress-based unlock system. Sure, the car is there to purchase at any time, but you need to still put the work in, in order to actually ride in it.

    Overall, Need for Speed is much of the same, which is one of the reasons why I feel so indifferent about it. Sure, it’s visuals are fantastic and the depth of customisation requires an oxygen tank, but the dull story and the oblivious AI does offer a number of sour moments, at least for me.    … Expand

    It's an extrmely enjoyable game, Often I do not like arcade handling racers, but drifting and cornering in need 4 speed is thrilling & rewarding. I prefer this handling over criterion's burnout style handling. I love burnout for what it is but need for speed should not turn into a burnout game. For me Need for speed should be for car lovers and should give the excitement that comes with driving an exotic vehicle. This is what need 4 speed does right and this is the most important rating factor for me.
    Customizing is great but parts are limited or non existent for some cars, the rubberbanding like often mentioned is retarded (though it does push you to the max certain times). Having no Dragrace option and No manual gears is a BIG fail when your game is based around the sreetrace scene. I hope this will be added in an update.    … Expand

    The game looks beautiful which makes you want to keep playing, but it does get a tad repetitive. If you like quick an easy money you can just keep racing the same event which after a while becomes a bit boring. There are plenty of races all over the map so you still have a lot of variety.

    I didn't think the rubberband AI would be an issue (coming from a mario kart background) and a lot the time it isn't (when i'm in my Aventador racing cars half the speed) but when you are in a matched race it does do your head in...A LOT!!!!

    In one word AMAZING, some glitches though especially when you are on the mountains you some strange line across the screen. Hope they fix it, and I believe it's fixable.
    Customization:
    Deep and one of the reason you would want to buy this game. BUT I wish they put feature to COPY the decals so that you can place exact same on other side of a car. Otherwise it takes hours just to align your decals on both sides so it would be symmetric. At least put some alignment tools so I can make exact same decal on both sides of my car. I don't like puffy, sketchy, random, meaningless customization (matter of taste); I love the elegance, class and meaningful decals. Like M3's 3 lines... So yeah ALIGNMENT tools, we need that.
    Driving:
    I don't know why people complain about it, I essentially love how you can tune your car so you can fit the to your style. It would have been worse if everyone had same settings. Instead you have a chance to trial and error option. You try different tuning styles until you find the one that you like the best. I liked the driving.

Now, I have a new game to enjoy when I just want to go fast.

    The graphics on this game are amazing. VB is a gorgeous place to drive. The cars look and sound great. After messing with the tuning, I've found a great setup for what I have right now, and can easily change it for races if I wish.

    The various skills - speed, outlaw, etc - is a neat way to track rep. I do wish the soundtrack was more like the original NFSU/2, but it's not terrible. The rubberbanding AI is probably to most annoying, but really it's like what I remember when playing NFSU/2. The always online bugs me a bit, but it is what it is.

    Overall, this is a great game to have fun with. It's not meant to break the barrier of gaming and real life, it's meant for you to enjoy yourself, slide your car around corners, use NOS at ridiculous times, and to make a statement with your vehicle.

    LOL, I don't mind the live action cut scenes....they're light hearted and fun. A little cheesy, sure, but overall I think the actors did a good job. I mean, how much sophistication are you gonna get out of street racing personalities? I actually enjoy hearing the voices come through the "phone" when I'm burning through the city streets...adds to a feeling of being part of an underground movement, a little bit anyways.

    Customization is pretty much at my level...not too heavy handed. I never was very good at deep cut tuning and I'm glad the game offers much for those of us who just want to bolt on some power and put it out there on the streets. NFS Shift 2 was waaay too punishing for those tuning noobs like myself :)

    The Resurrection and Rebirth or Arcade Racing
    Need for Speed is the reboot of this arcade racer that has been around since 1994.
    I’ve enjoyed all of the modern need for speeds games, even the cinematic style The Run, but none of them really made my heart sing like Underground 2 did.
    I was pleasantly surprised to find out that This Need For Speed reboot pulled me back in again in the way that ps2 era classic did.
    The feel of this game is underground from the moment it starts.
    Like Underground 2, this game takes place in one giant city at night.
    You’re pulled into the underground scene by all of your hashtag hipster friends that say all of your favorite cringe worthy vocabulary that the kids are using today like bae and hand out tons of brofists like they’ve spent too much time watching pewdiepie instead of me.. which hurts my feelings a little bit, but whatever.
    Like in Underground 2, there are different style races and challenged spread out around the map that you can freely play in any order you choose. You have the choice to either drive to them or teleport to them which is a huge time saver.
    The challenges for the most part consist of time trials, racing, and drifting.
    There aren’t all too many circuit races which is kind of a bummer, but I’m torn, this is a street racing game, the races feel like street races more so than they did 9 years ago… but oddly enough I preferred the set tracks with invisible walls and actually miss that more arcardey style of racing..
    Need for Speed does do a great job with lighting up the road though to help you stay on track which is great and should honestly be implemented into all open world games… it was nice looking at the world more than staring at a map the for once.
    One race style that I’m a little sad to see missing is Drag Racing.. I’ve never been good with manual racing in games.. but they got my heart pumping more than any racing challenge has in the past… but I was horrible at them, so hated them just as much as I loved them.
    It would’ve been nice to see them return, but in this world I’m kind of glad they didn’t…
    I’m sad to say that the open world in need for speed is pretty bland…
    I couldn’t tell once section of the map from the other..
    Unlike in underground 2 where unlocking a new section felt like going into an entirely new map, everything is unlocked from the beginning here and it all looks and feels the same.
    No variety which means no urge to explore.
    There are cops running around that seem to never be there when you want to do an outlaw mission, but they are there for you to mess with, or they’ll occasionally interrupt your street racing..
    You can mess with them to build up your fine then escape if you can for a reward or just pull over and pay the small fine you start out with.
    The cops are very reasonable in this game, not too aggressive or over powered.
    Customization is back with much more freedom with decals and paint, but the variety of body and tire options are nowhere near the golden days of need for speed.
    Car Variety is also pretty iffy, and you can purchase the best car in the game about 6 hours in of this 12hour campaign.
    The story and cut scenes actually had me wanting more and I was surprised how well the live action scenes actually blended with the game.
    While this game isn’t on the level on Underground 2, they are definitely on the right track
    I loved my time with Need for Speed, but I have to say that I am mostly disappointed in the fact that this game is always online..
    7 other players can join your world at any time, you can set your privacy to invite only if you choose, and you can challenge these friends to races like you could with the ai drivers in underground 2
    But even if you won’t want to play with other people, you have to connect to a server for the game to even start.. and honestly I was the only person challenging other people, and only because I felt obligated to as a reviewer… It’s nice to see my friend’s high scores, and kind of cool to try and take on daily challenges, but this all could’ve been done without forcing an online connection…
    I also had problems logging in with my sub account on PlayStation 4 thanks to this always online game forcing you to have an origin account to do anything, so prepare to do some hoop jumping if you’re buying this game for your family.

    Ghost games did impressive with the game. The visuals look almost realistic with the car models, cop chases are more reasonable, and customization is back in a big way. However there are minor fps drops which are really not as impactful and the game is indeed online but there is not much issues other than my internet.

    The game uses FMV (Full Motion Video) for the Cutscenes even though they are corny but they were never meant to be serious. You can sometimes understand what there intentions are. The FMV Cutscenes are also meant to be for mission expansion.

    A.I. rubber banding is indeed involved with the game. The A.I. cars meant to keep up at your speed so if you want to play with a crappy Volvo, you may possibly win a race.

    Missions are straight forward. Sprints, Circuits, Time Trials, Drift Trials, Drift Races, Gymkhanas.

    The game is online and I am somewhat disappointed since sometimes my internet just can't handle it sometimes.

    Eddie is in the game as well and you can earn his car for free if you beat him. Manual transmission is back and even though I dont use it, I'm pretty sure would love to use it.

    Customization is outstanding. You can customize the front bumpers, back bumpers, body kits, side skirts, rims, tire treads, exhaust tips, bonnet hoods, splitters, trunk lids, diffusers, front fenders, back fenders, headlights, backlights, window tint, color, vinyls, preset wraps, and soon to come "neon lights".
    Customization is the most realistic kind, only with aftermarket brands. Some cars have lots of customization, some have little, and a little have not at all. There are 53 cars in the game but the objective of the cars is perfecting not collecting. The cars also are built inside the game. Your customized car can be in the cutscene.

    The career is split into 5 ways to play. Speed, Style, Build, Crew, Outlaw. The main elements in Need For Speed. With real life icons and actors who look up to these people.

    Police chases are not as aggressive as what was in NFS Rivals but more fairer, less buggy and more playable. Roadblocks, spike strips, and the actual cruisers feel more realistic and fun. Some roadblock slow you down but you still pass them, while roadblocks made with cement blocks and rhino units are impossible to pass unless you find an extra road. The pursuit levels come into 5 levels. You can simply pay a fine and get the pursuit over with but that's not as fun. You need to pester them enough in order to get on with the pursuit. While starting in a pursuit, you are chased by 1 cop, but overtime you will be chased by a few more. The largest amount I've seen was 7 and trust me cops aren't as easy to get ride of at a decently customized ride. Unlike other games where is easy to destroy some low level cars, trying to do that is almost impossible. Just don't try to take 'em out you may get busted.

    Pros:
    Surreal Graphics
    Awesome racing
    Simple story line
    Easy to learn hard to master
    The ultimate return
    Amazing sounds

This reboot is fantastic, and far and away better than recent NFS titles. The car customization is deep, and lets the players imagination go wild. The physics are out of this world, and will have you tweaking your tuning after almost every race. I wish there was a quick menu for tuning though, because there are different types of races that call for different tunings, and going back to your garage after every race is sort of tedious.

    The graphics look stunning, the soundtrack is as pushy as you would expect, and there are tons of customization and upgrade options. The actual racing in the open world of Ventura is typical NFS: theres the annoying rubber band AI, there are the Drift Events, and there are your friends, your "Crew", which is by far the best feature of the game - you can team up with your friends as a crew and drive around and do events together - which is way more fun than playing solo, when played in coop, many of the games annoyances are just irrelevant and it is just plain fun.
    I can understand that some are mad about the "always online" thing, and I am also disappointed by some minor things: I really miss those Drag Racing Events, and Im a bit disappointed that there are relatively less cars than expected, Im missing some brands here and there. Sadly theres also no option to turn of the in-game phone, which rings constantly and can drive you insane, just in real life LOL
    Those things are minor flaws, and I can think of EA patching/fixing those things after all those raging people on the net. There will be free DLC as well, so hopefully we get some new cars and events as well.
    I can wholeheartedly recommend the new NFS to ANYONE that is interested, especially when you have some friends to play with.

    Need for Speed is not a sim, forget shift... It was a poor attempt, but in this iteration they have finally started heading back to their Underground car culture roots.

    Do I think this game deserves a 10? Absolutely no chance, I really don't see how anyone can justify giving it a 10, unless they're under 18 and don't know games & never played Underground series or the original Most wanted.

    Let us not forget, ALL NFS are judged by the greatest of the series, the two Underground games & Most wanted (2005) so there is no way this game is a 10.

    On the flip side, if you're on the fence about this game, I would say whatever you choose you won't regret it. This NFS is currently better than every single NFS since Carbon... Because the focus on drifting has changed... We are no longer FORCED into drifting, and finally the customisation is back!

    The new NFS has superb customisation options, great tuning options, probably second to only Forza as far as both mechanically and cosmetically. The Graphics are stunning, the sounds from the cars are brilliant & there are a lot of good signs for this game.

    If you choose to buy it, I think you'll enjoy it and you'll understand that this is now a good base point for the franchise. If you don't buy it, you won't regret not playing it because as I said, it is a stepping stone... it's not a great game, but for the real NFS series fan, it's a good direction.

    The main things that need a lot of work:

    - Story, seriously are there no good writers at EA/Ghost Games? The story is not great, it's way too cheesy & there's no "bad guy". Even if they rehashed a Blacklist, it would have been better.

    - Soundtrack, it was terrible in this game, not even on the same wave length as previous games soundtracks. The best song in the game only plays in the Garage (No Wyld - Odyssey) and the other songs feel like a 12 year old picked them, Although I think Ghost Games is Swedish, which makes sense because their music scene is terrible and that of a teenagers.

    -Rubber banding... This is a big one, the catchup feature (Rubber banding) in this game is awful. You can get a good lead of about 5 seconds, and then out of nowhere the AI will pass you at ridiculous speeds, in a car which defies the laws of physics. I wasn't aware a 1970s Porsche could pass a Lamborghini Murcielago so easily. This doesn't belong in racing games in 2015.. We should have evolved from this already.

    - Difficulty, The game is far too easy, aside from the occasional unstoppable overtake which you can easily get back, the game feels like it was made for the worst drivers so they can beat it. There is no difficulty scaling, no option to change it up, so the whole story feels like a Sunday drive, rather than a "thrilling race through the city".

    Map- The map is too small, and underwhelming. This is something that can be solved with the next iteration, so i'm not too worried about it right now.

    As I said, this Need for Speed is a good step in the right direction, so hopefully they will learn from any mistakes, take on the feed back and make what we all want... Underground 3    … Expand

Ill point out the cons and pros now.
    Pros: customization, races, graphics, gameplay, sounds (different cars deferent engine roars), cool trophies
    Cons: biggest problem is number of cars which is very low compare to Granturismo or Forza, 5 sloth garage ( with the money you ear during the game you can buy and customize a lot of cars i prefer to keep them not to all them as we have just 5 sloths. the last problem which is also a big deal you always need internet connection during the game, i personally sometimes like to play solo and offline, this feature sometimes makes troubles.
    finally the story is ok but its not the strongest point of the game i gave a 9 to this because so many people gave unfair 0-4s, maybe the fair score is 8.5 or so i hope everyone enjoy it, peace    … Expand

Для фаната игр NFS и Burnout привыкать к управлению не придётся. В игре лучшая графика за всю историю NFS! Не плохой тюнинг, хотя деталей откровенно не хватает, могло быть и больше. Игру сильно недооценили я считаю, ибо упор тут был на реализм, и это очень чувствуется: фотореалистичная картинка, в погоне за тобой не больше 3-х авто (ну где в жизни за тобой весь город гонялся?), кинематографичные ролики с реальными актёрами! Не поскупились, и это радует! В игре маленькая карта, как впрочем и во всех NFS после 2010-ого года. Зато есть чёткий дрифт, дрифтить по городу и в каньоне огромное удовольствие! Я очень люблю систему AllDrive (когда одиночный режим одновременно с мультиплеером), очень круто встретить кого-нибудь когда и сам гоняешь ночью. Жаль нельзя моргнуть фарами или "бибикнуть".

    One of the best Need for Speed ever released. Compelling story, memorable characters and gorgeous graphics.

    The car's physics is your typical arcade racer, super glue tyres turned into drift slicks by the press of the button. If you're looking for a serious racer, this aint it. This is a chill arcade racer where you come in, mod your cars and have a laugh, and it's incredible at doing that.
