Need for Speed: Heat

I think this game is pretty cool. The detail on the cars is great and the storyline is fantastic. Unfortunately, the story mode is very short, I beat it in less than eight hours. The fact of a character customizer sounds great, but this customizer is not as cool. I thought it would be like NBA2K. Heck, 2K20's can have you scan your face to make your avatar.

I wish the gameplay didn't focus on being at Nighttime so much. The cops literally are so hard to lose no matter what difficultly or what equipment you put your car with. Especially when trying to get to the high heat races, when you have your heat level on 5, there literally is no where you can hide. Even with the ELITE radar disruptor. Also, the nitrous is not as good as the previous games. I've equipped my car with three cans, but when you tap the X button, it uses up one can fully and you have to wait for it to reload. Unlike the previous games where you can hold the button and use your nitrous.

I can praise it for having better car customization that Payback, but still, the 2015's customizer will always reign supreme, it was a lot simpler. Is it worth a buy? Yes! Is the best one on PS4? Not quite.

I have played almost every single Need for speed game there has been. From the highs of being a teenager and going to my friends house to smash Underground 1 and 2, to sitting back and enjoying the brilliance that was the OG Most wanted, to a few average games like rivals or the need for speed remake. Need for speed heat is for me one of laziest, dullest most depressing need for speed games I've ever played. It starts.... and that's it, you pick a car and you race, no story, no reason to race, just there you go... go race some sloppy, dull tracks and get cash to buy a few menial upgrades to make your car look shiny and drive abit faster. That's fine for 5-10 hours of gameplay but when it's one copy paste track after another the appeal of the game wears off pretty fast. Now I haven't read any other reviews for this game but I'm sure some of them will say the day/night cycle is a "revolution" or it's a breath of fresh air. It's not. Daytime you get cash, night you get rep. Hardly an era defining invention. Daytime is fine, very boring, like a much worse, poorer quality version of Forza but acceptable. Night on the other hand is a hot stinking used diaper wrapped up in a dead fish. It's sucks. Now the cops start out fine, the thrill of avoiding cops and getting your races in is better than day, but all of sudden without blinking an eye I go from trying to do just 2, 2!!! Races and I have level 5 cops in corvettes ramming me and a rhino police van smashing into me head on. I had zero chance of escape, none. I had the starter Nissan 240 car, Albeit modded a fair amount for my low level. Ok I thought that's fine I got busted, my bad, my fault, maybe I need to drive better in future (Despite the fact I can beat razor in most wanted with one hand) but sure it's on me. Then... wait a second, where's all my money ?, Gone!!!. Sank down the drain like this game. They don't just take the money you earned for that day night cycle, they take it ALL. So I would have to go and complete all those awful stupid little circuits and sprints again just to earn my money back. Around 8 hours completely thrown out of the window because I can't escape what seemed to me like a Bugatti cheron police assault with my starter car. To me that is zero fun whatsoever. It's the equivalent of trying to play through red dead 2 and its 80+ hour campaign and if you die just once you have to start from the very beginning. I want to be punished for getting busted, but not to the point where I would be better off deleting my game save. Poor excuse for a game, bang average customisation, poor gameplay and no story whatsoever. 3/10.

This is probably the best need for speed ever, its aesthetic and nostalgic, its nearly perfect

There isn't much to say about this game besides that it's a must buy. The story is rather short but I didn't care, the gameplay, graphics, mechanics, and cars took the cake. Buy it when you can. Here's some of my favorite cars to drive, and why. All of the McLarens, the Porsches, the 60-70's Fords and Dodges, and all of which are fun, good looking, fast, sort of expensive but worth it, and just overall great! And that's just MY favorites, there's plenty of others out there. And they're not just sports cars, there's casual cars as well. Really good game, can't stress that enough. And yes I would recommend well over The Crew and Forza. This game is better than both, not to mention the sound design. The engines... man oh man. Just buy it for yourself.

Finally they have made a game that is it okay to play I Believe that Need For Speed Most Wanted 2005 is better for storyline but gameplay yes it takes it away.
