The drift missions are really boeing. I made manu and Robie at last, i prefere big sprints and cool circuits, the map is Very generical, the cars are awsome, the history week but a little cool, for me nfs underground 3. There are Lot of problems but is a funny game and need for speed. I thought nfs were dead but after playing rivals, playback and nfs 2015 I can say that NFS still Alive… Expand

    I actually like this game, to begin with the car selection is very little with a few cars and the customazation is not good either (i love the wrap system though) the story is amazing it reminds me of need for speed underground a lot and this is why i love this game, its great driving and chilling in this games i love the police system but it is very easy if you have a fast car to escape,I actually like this game, to begin with the car selection is very little with a few cars and the customazation is not good either (i love the wrap system though) the story is amazing it reminds me of need for speed underground a lot and this is why i love this game, its great driving and chilling in this games i love the police system but it is very easy if you have a fast car to escape, anyway this game is good in my opinion for me it might be the best nfs in the ps4… Expand

    A good game enriched thanks to the support of the steering wheels, the manual transmission and 60 frames per second.

    This is by far the most atmospheric racing game I have ever played, It feels like the spiritual succesor for NFS Underground2.

    Maybe it's the best NFS of 2010th. Nice graphics, tuning. It has a bit too much drifting.

    Very nice throwback to NFSU2 and NFSU in case of climat. Graphics broke some kind of barrier for NFS, the play of lights and car models makes the game beautiful. Story was very average but I loved the aspect about when for ex. you added to your car a turbo there was accualy sound of it, and when you changed it for compressor, it was compressor sound, kind of forza thing which is nice.

    I am playing this game for the last 5 years, but still, it has something which no other game gives.
    Pros
    1) Sense of speed, if you play the races with full concentration you will experience a sense of speed which is quite realistic. 2) Sense of risk. at every turn, you need to be alert.

    Pros
    1) Sense of speed, if you play the races with full concentration you will experience a sense of speed which is quite realistic.
    2) Sense of risk. at every turn, you need to be alert. There are greater chances that within a blink of eye you will hit incoming traffic or crash barrier which feels quite close to real-life driving.
    3) Geometry of car, it feels very real and it never looks cartoonish or childish or like other games. the shaking movement is smooth very near to life. No sudden movements.
    4) environment lighting, This game is underground racing and most of the races are during the night. Compare with any other game the night lighting and midnight emptiness you can feel in this game, no other game provides a night environment like this.
    5) Car handling, just one-word thrilling.
    6) Drift is ice on the cake, super smooth, and new variety. You need to tune your car handling for that and once you learned mixed with the risk it is very thrilling.

    Cons
    1) Always online, the Biggest reason for the hate for this game.
    2) Cannot swipe a car without going to the garage, which results in more wait time for loading.
    3) COPS are weak
    4) No good soundtracks
    5) No open world feeling, you will feel that you stuck into some networks of road.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Un Muy Buen Arcade
    Un juego de conducción muy arcade, muy divertido. Gráficamente, la primera vez parece real. La musica no esta al nivel ni cerca de otros juegos de conducción pero esta bien. En ''historia'' es muy Rapido y Furioso, tal cual. Hay 51 automóviles, que para mi son pocos. A nivel de tuneo, creo que esta un poco escaso. Vas a estar pegado al juego todo lo que dure, pero cuando ya estés en frente del final... El juego se termino, no hay nada mas que hacer. Son muy buenas 30 horas si quieres hacer todo, pero ya. No hay mas rejugabildad que eso. Además que solo se puede jugar conectado a internet. El mapa no es lo mejor del mundo, ya despues de la trigésima segunda carrera te da la sensación de que son la misma pero con mas puntos de control.
    Aun y asi le pongo un 8.5/10. Porque vuelvo y repito es muy divertido.    … Expand

    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.

    isn't it funny when big gaming companies give a big studio like criterion who made the worst nfs game of our life team favourable reviews but they s**t all over a small gaming studio like ghost. true nfs fans will appreciate what this game tries to do its not perfect but the customization is back with a street racing narritave which is what this franchise is all about. yes the cops couldisn't it funny when big gaming companies give a big studio like criterion who made the worst nfs game of our life team favourable reviews but they s**t all over a small gaming studio like ghost. true nfs fans will appreciate what this game tries to do its not perfect but the customization is back with a street racing narritave which is what this franchise is all about. yes the cops could be better and the customization could have more but this game marked change for a dying franchise.… Expand

    -0,0000001 for not disabling radio while engine is turned off and that annoying blue track over the road, but game is close to perfect. REALLY LOVE IT. It’s really strange, that their next games become more cheap, empty, and stupid... can’t get it. EA, WHY?!!!?

    8/10 - No es ese NFS Most Wanted que me atrapó de joven pero sin duda alguna es una de las mejores formas de dar un «reboot» de franquicia. El apartado gráfico alucinante, la personalización increíble, las clases de conductores, el mundo abierto de Ventura Bay y ese mundo nocturno acompañados de ese modo historia, son simplemente geniales.

    Im giving a good score to this one. The game is not great, but i think this is the direction to go with need for speed, it has an aura of underground somehow. Not much customization and no many cars for this year but let see how it evolves in the next one. Like it.

    Very customizable. Very fun to drift around corners. However, cops are way too easy to evade. The storyline is decently long but cringe-inducing acting.

    *the* best racing game out there, even to date. It realy does everything righ, the soundtrack, the atmosphere, the handling, customisation, the cast, which in classic need for speed fashion, can't be too serious, the story is pretty good, fits the game and competing with the Pros from the scene feels amazing
    It also has NO micro transactions or lootboxes

The tuning is very versatile from body-kits to paint jobs to performance tuning; you can truly customize that Honda Civic into your dream tuner ride. The constant internet connection requirement is a major bummer though, and some of the dialogue is absolutely cringeworthy.… Expand

    Need for Speed is a well-wrought game, full of interesting features, albeit without many fresh ideas. However, it is prone to deliver most of the gamers in the uncomfortable arms of boredom sooner than later, although it is bound to satisfy the hardcore fans.

    The latest Need for Speed feels old in every aspect. The driving model, the AI, the story and the characters, the environments – all of it is simply poor. [13/2015, p.68]

    Need for Speed’s decent feel of driving and nice tuning options don’t amount to much when coupled with harsh rubber banding, boring environments and a terrible forced story mode. [Dec 2015]
