Very overhated.
It's good, I just don't like horror games...
Be careful, or you might lose your sense of time.
«Blew my mind»
«Liked before it became a hit»
Better than I expected. A lot more fun than any GTA I played (except maybe Vice City). I just find the story a bit disconnected.
«Blew my mind»
«That ending!»
Awesome couch multiplayer experience. Still fun alone, with a fair campaign.
«Blew my mind»
«Better with friends»
Massive map, awesome soundtrack, lots of racing. What else could you ask for?
«Blew my mind»
«OST on repeat»
Decent fps game.
It's not the worst thing in the world, but still... Also, its unfairly difficult at times.
«Oh God i managed it»
I don't like any of the characters.
Definitely overrated. I had more fun with GTA IV and I played that for the first time only last month.
Why play this when you have GTA:VC and GTA:SA? its literally a worse game in every aspect to those two.
«Boooring»
The story felt disconnected, but it was fun to be a biker. Better than TBOGT for sure.
«Underrated»
Best radio in any game. And the vibes are on point.
«Blew my mind»
«Can’t stop playing»
Best modern NFS by a long shot. I just wish it was a little bit better.
«Beaten more than once»
If you're a more casual player like me, you might enjoy this one. Not guaranteed. I played it on hard difficulty. The game was fun overall, and it lasted me 35 hours. Not the best, but not the worst.

- Fortune Valley: This map is stunning. With its varied terrain and gorgeous views, this is the first NFS title where I spent actual time in photo mode trying to get that perfect shot. As for the roads, driving around feels neither mindless, nor claustrophobic. Roads are wide just enough. Sure, the overall map is a bit small, but I don't find that to be a detriment. Especially when the game is going to last you 30 hours. Also, the color palette is lovely, and it even changes based on location. Cool!
- OffRoad Racing: Easy yet challenging. Frustrating, yet satisfying. This is THE racing mode they nailed. First few tracks might not be that crazy, but as the story progresses, you are forced to navigate tight corners near cliffs while battling the overly aggressive AI alongside long jumps in half the races and it's a lot of fun. One negative is that the car selection is very limited. If you were hoping to drive a sedan Impreza or a Huracan through the dirt, tough luck.
- Drag Racing: It's back! At last! - OnRoad Racing This one is a bit circumstantial, but I had fun with it. What I mean by this, is that since I played the game on hard and did not care about grinding unless it was a must; I always entered races with an underpowered car and had to battle my way to the top. Ramming Mustang's into traffic, taking tiny shortcuts by going the opposite lane, drift smashing corvettes out of corners, abusing the nitro in every straight road, pit-manuevaring a Pagani Huayra and causing it to flip 4 times into a truck.... I just love being the underdog and still coming out on top. Though, I had to restart most of the late game races at least 5, mostly 10 times to figure out the best way to win, so this might not be the best playstyle for everyone.

- Story / Story Missions: Cheesy, stupid, illogical, but still fun if you let yourself enjoy it. It's a revenge story where you go up against a giant organization; and you do that by defeating various racing teams to gain a spot in a giant fixed race just to beat their favored racer. You could think of those teams like the 'kings' in ProStreet, where you race a few underlings, then go 1-on-1 with the 'king' and take them down, to face the Showdown King in the end. You face 2 or 3 teams in each chapter, and you must beat all to advance. That much is fine, but the story missions in-between said chapters are quite iffy. Most of the cool stuff happen in cutscenes and everything feels scripted (because everything is). Also, some of the actions taken by the antagonist are borderline minus IQ.
- The Upgrade System: Honestly, I think the card system has potential but needs some fundamental changes. I liked the perks, and the brand pairing buffs, but the parts come in way too randomly for these to be truly useful. Also, each card is tied to a single car, so you can't just go buy a new car and then upgrade it as you like using previous cars parts. You are forced to either buy from a tune-up shop (Has a random selection of 15 parts that refresh every 30 mins. NEVER has the part you're looking for), race for the card prize (I once won 5 races and got 5 engine blocks in a row even though I needed an ECU), or spin a wheel for it (the perks will be trash though, and the lvl increase will be minimal). By the way, you cannot buy any cards more than 3 levels higher than what you have. Like, all my parts are lvl 9, but I can't buy the lvl16 parts I need because all my options give me lvl 11 or 12 parts max. I have to upgrade at least half my parts above 12 before they let me get lvl 14-15 cards. This system costed me 6 hours of grinding late-game.
- Scripted Cops: Cop events are fun, but they are scripted to always stop chasing you at a certain point. And you never encounter them in freeroam. Zero immersion, and zero accomplishment.
[[ DISLIKE ]]
- Characters: You have 3 types of characters in this game. Pick your poison. Bland and Boring, Pretentious and Annoying, Stereotypical and Moronic.
- Lack of Map Freedom: Just let me jump down the cliff so I can skip the snake road GTA style without resetting my position immediately! Very annoying! Also, you are not allowed to climb certain parts of the map because... why exactly? Unnecessary limitations.
Overall: fun, but not groundbreaking. Challenging enough in hard mode if you avoid grinding.
