Need for Speed

I have the Xbox One X version.

Hopefully you will have been taken in by the 4K hype by now and have a television with 4K Ultra HD.

You will not be disappointed.

Aside from the revolutionary leap in computer graphics this game takes place in the illegal street racing scene of Los Angeles.

You start with so many credits to buy your first car... I bought the 2000 Honda Civic Type R. The game always takes place at night. Although you do get a bit of a dawn, it is about ten seconds before it is nightfall again.

I guess a Volvo and a classic Volkswagen isn't such an ideal choice of a selectioo of cars and the purple Lamborghini? There are just things such as these in Need For Speed which say awkward.

The story in Need For Speed is integrated in to the online play. It is a good idea to complete the story mode (alongside a female mechanic) to get started and unlock parts and earn credits to buy them.

The cut scenes are real time, not animated. I skipped through all of them you don't need to watch and listen to them to know what to do in the game.

You will unlock achievements as you play. By the time you are finished with most of what you can do, you will have certainly unlocked most of them.

So go and pick it up or download off the Microsoft store (if you can). One of the best, although not so elaborate, car racing games out there.

Well done, 10/10.

Great game, but the cinematic is very cheesy and bland. Seems like a high school teenager video game could've at least hired good scripts like the Fast and The Furuos vibe.

I mean what I said, I love this game. I love the car customization and the storyline. People criticize the storyline for being cringeworthy, but I like it. It really pulls me into this world of street racing. I love the city background as well, and the environment is beautiful.

There is a problem with it being online most of the time, but that doesn't bother me too much, NFS Heat took some advice from this game when it came to customization. The only thing is Payback wasn't as good as this game, with the graphics and the story. But Payback is good on its own. Definitely worth a buy and still one of the best PS4 NFS games. Better than Rivals.

Decent enough game hampered by terrible acting.

Faye Marsay is the only decent actor in the cast, but she's a Brit playing an American so even she can't save the cinematics. Other than that the game is a typical Need for Speed street racer with fun game play elements.
