    Хорошая попытка сделать идеальный Need For Speed. Игра очень хорошая, хоть и имеет свои недостатки. В игре лёгкая карьера, кому-то покажется сюжет скучным.

В игре лёгкая карьера, кому-то покажется сюжет скучным. Да, в нём нет резких поворотов, вообще никаких поворотов. Да и зачем? Удовольствие мы получаем от езды, и сюжет просто добавляет семейной и дружеской обстановке к каждой встрече и гонке. Управление в игре аркадное, скриптованное, но приятное и удобное. 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". Игру советую к покупке! Expand

    *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

    This game lack of challenge. So you finish the game and it's like you got a glimpse of what it is. There's no challenge at all. Thankfully once you end this game, you unlock new challenges and those are very very hard, Drifting is the one that got me stuck for hours to get gold in some events. But it's a shame that you have to finish the game to get serious challenge. Online is what you expect and finally the cops, very easy, not a challenge at all, no updates there, this game never needed cops and been added (don't know why - "yeeeay we got cops here") - BAD.

Also, I don't understand all the importance this game gives to the drifting part....Why ? There are so many drifting missions that I find quite boring....Ah..and the worst part is the cut-scenes with questionable acting play. The story is really not engaging. Also, I find that the collectibles are totally unrelevant and the police chases are not exciting at all. I'm now level 29 at this game and honestly, I still enjoyed some moments I had with this game...but I doubt I will continue for the reasons I mentioned. That's the first NFS game I played and I think I will try other franchises instead....I don't mean NFS is bad but it doesn't seem a good fit for me....And one last thing, there are no real tutorials for neophytes like me...I had to check video on youtube to do proper drifting.

    In general, I can say that in recent years it has been the best part of NFS.
    Excellent selection of cars, sometimes good music, great tuning. Plus, the game had a small and fairly simple plot. But he, in turn, motivated to pass the game. There was a good multiplayer. The best possible graphics for that year was precisely in this game.

    NFS (2015) is a game that is good at its core but is ruined by a plethora of EA-isms.

    NFS (2015) is a game that is good at its core but is ruined by a plethora of EA-isms.
    While the driving feels quite good and there is a fair bit of customization available, those are the only real positives.
    Although the open world isn't ugly at all, it's so monotonous and dead you will fast travel everywhere just to save yourself from it. The story features horrendous live action cutscenes which include some of the worst writing I've ever witnessed - no way to tell if the actors are any good as the material they had to work with was straight up garbage. Despite the great driving, races suffer from laughably obvious and aggressive rubber banding. Doesn't really matter how far ahead you are and how much better your car is - 10/10 times 1-2 km before the finish someone is going to spawn behind you going 800 km/h and they'll usually beat you unless you've upgraded your car to the max.

    And now for the worst problem... The online component. Make no mistake NFS 2015 is a strictly offline game - nothing about it suggests online play or even a need for an online component. Yet for some reason EA have made an online connection at all times mandatory. It makes zero sense and results in nothing more than server crashes and other racers crashing into you, thus ruining your race and forcing you to start over. Why this decision was made is beyond me and I truly hope whoever made it realised they don't belong in the gaming industry and left. Absolute joke

    Need For Speed (2015) could have actually been quite a good game but EA did what EA does best and destroyed it.

    Need for Speed looks the part, sounds the part, and is surprisingly reverent to real-world car culture. I like the direction Ghost has taken here, and I think it’s the right one, but beneath its flashy exterior it's not quite firing on all cylinders.

Major problem is that this game is online only, the loading times are horrendous and if you want to play in your own map you have to suffer though 2 loading screens, after that you do forget about it because you load in to a map that looks stunning. Rain falling on your roof when you turn of the engine, just amazing. Cars sound nice, driving tho took some getting used to as I was trying to find the sweet spot of handling versus drift. After a while, when you get more cars set up its enough to have your older ones set up only for drifting. The other IMO even worse thing was the money, i wanted to immerse myself in to car tuning not grinding for money with my old drift bmw on a hard drift track that gave 8k each time i finished it. Story is fine enough, i would have gone for more nfsu2 thing, but more in depth. Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game tries to bring back same aspects from the Undergroud, Most Wanted and Hot Pursuit series, but there is some lack of heart during the game, which is something found in the Underground 2 and Most Wanted 2005 for example. You basically can finish the game without major pursuits or stress with the police, the cut-offs to play the live action for the main story are terribly boring... no tension in the history, same boring scenes with no sense during the whole game and unfortunately the addition of all the professional drivers in the live-action don't save that. AI for the events is not that great and the overall history can be easily finished, there are more fun in on-line mode, for example.

    Cons
    - Missing the measure of the distance from my car and the next one (in seconds);
    - Poor variety for visual customization (poor amount of different parts, wheels, spoilers, etc.);
    - All the cars have basically the same performance after all upgrades;
    - The cars have a serious issue to perform the turns in the game.
    - Traps everywhere, every turn, specially when the fun is happening.

    Pros
    - Model fidelity of the Cars, beautiful and stunning (even the Active Aero Spoiler in Aventador automatically moves-up during high speeds);
    - The physics are good and the handling is nice (despite the performing turns issue);
    - Right size and distance proportion between cars, streets, corners, obstacles, etc;
    - City visual and construction (buildings, bridges, highways, etc.);
    - Expectation (you will expect something during the whole game, which gives you reason to play);

    Overall speaking, the game brings some fun, but could be much better.

    + видеоролики с реальными людьми (актеры подобраны хорошо, к ним можно успеть привязаться)
    + музыка (тематику уличных гонок она передаёт на 100%)

    Минусы:
    - управление и физика (главные проблемы игры; к управлению очень сложно адаптироваться, более-менее нормально ездить начинаешь только к концу игры; очень большая зависимость от настройки управления автомобиля; долгое восстановление после столкновений и аварий; на скорости 300+ км/ч водить очень страшно)
    - нет настройки уровня сложности (некоторые гонки действительно сложно пройти, особенно в режиме Prestige)
    - ИИ полицейских (они бесполезные, не доставляют почти никаких проблем, если ты не в гонке; заграждения появляются редко, оторваться от копов - дело 20 секунд)
    - необходимость в постоянном подключении к интернету (даже если играешь только в одиночный режим; частые разрывы соединения)

    Может не понравиться:
    = вечная ночь (к середине игры надоедает)
    = тюнинг (на первый взгляд он может показаться очень детальным, но далеко не все машины обладают всеми деталями тюнинга)
    = гараж всего на 10 мест (5 в гараже + 5 на складе)
    = нитро почти ничего не даёт (возможно я не прав, но на настройке "мощность" прироста в скорости не ощущается)

    Итог: атмосфера уличных гонок передана отлично, но управление чересчур непривычное (по сравнению с прошлыми частями NFS)

And you can also redo some events in a harder difficulty with a newly introduced mode called "Prestige." One of my biggest problems with the game though is being unable to play offline. Expand

    Many people will say this Need for Speed title is just a new chapter from Need for Speed Underground, well...

I can agree with them, you will realise this soon enough, The city of Ventura Bay is amazing but it is always night and raining so you'll not experience how beautiful the city looks during day. The story, well, we can say there is none, the only thing you do is trying to get as more reputation as possible, the more REP points you have, the more are the possibilities not only for customisation options but even for gameplay (more races with higher difficulty). The cutscenes are real-life, which is good, they hold to their roots, but within those cutscenes, you'll not find anything useful, just some cringy scenes with no sense whatsoever. Also what you'll realise is the more the powerful is the car (without upgrades), the less are the appearance options, but this is not the far more irritating thing in this game. The worst thing here which does affect the gameplay itself are the cops, they're slow, you will have to go for a search quest to find them, there will be always one cop in the police station, but there is almost no backup units, most of the time only 1 cop will chase you, before you realise how slow and bad they are. During the whole game, I haven't been in any situation where they almost got me, you have to use the worst car if you want them to catch you. Speaking of bad things, you have to always be online, which can be irritating for those with bad or no internet connection, if you want to play this game somewhere with no internet connection, well..., you can't and yes, if you encounter a bad connection during gameplay, the game will kick you out on the main menu.

    All in all, the game itself needs many improvements, the cops and always-be-online are the worst problems, the background story is bad, and this leaves you with only one thing you can enjoy within the game, which are the graphics, still not used to its highest potential, such a shame.

    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.

    Need For Speed offers fun gameplay but for a limited time. Visually, this game looks nice but after 16 hours I started slowly to feel bored.

There are not too many cars to choose and purchase but car customisation was satisfying for the most part.

    If you like arcade games you might find this one interesting. Generally, it is fun to play. If you are into driving simulator games and realistic driving - you should avoid this game.

    Another thing worth mentioning is that you MUST be online and you must have EA account in order to play this game. If you do not have a decent internet speed you might spend a lot of time starring at the loading screen before you even start playing anything.

    - lots of loading screens
    - cluttered and distracting UI
    - only night races, poor location variety
    - cringey live action scenes, even for a need for speed game

Story is cringy, character are boring, all story events are irrelevant and about some monster energy gamer Ken block pop culture reference **** . Cars drive like **** always forcing themselves into uncontrollable scripted drift like if they were amusement park rides on rails. Ai is piss easy, but races can be frustrating due to uncontrollable vehicles. Game has forced multiplayer, so you can't pause the game even if you're playing alone without ps+ subscription. Restarting a race takes 5 **** minutes : first you wait a loading, than you park your car at starting position. After that you start the event, wait another loading and the race finally starts. Customisation is alright, but text is bugged while doing wraps. Cops do nothing and are indestructible. Graphics and map is really good, I love the atmosphere in this game.

    Overall the game is crap, i dropped it at like 40% because it became extremely boring

    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. There are greater chances that within a blink of eye you will hit incoming traffic or crash barrier

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.
