Since I have been playing NFS since that epic Underground 2, I have to say that the games in the series have become indifferent. There is no serious customization in the appearance of the car; no matter what car you choose, you end up putting the same things, resulting in frustration because there is no difference from the same cars that exist online. Okay, there is a wide range of stickers and colors, but that still doesn't mean much. Nevertheless, they have added some childish effects with wings and some colorful dust. As for the gameplay, it is quite tiring. The cars and races are categorized. It starts from category B and goes up to S+, where you essentially max out the car mechanically. This has a flaw. For example, if you are a bit of an old-school player and you like cars like the Evo, GTR, Subaru, and other similar ones, even if you make those cars S+, they have no uniqueness, resulting in always being beaten by cars in the Lamborghini, Ferrari category, which you can also make S+. Also, to unlock cars, you have to complete certain specific races in specific categories that really take a lot of time, resulting in the end just building a basic car with no special acceleration, top speed, or appearance. Now, regarding the races, to finish a race, you have to play 3 different races, each of which can have 2, 3 laps, or one long one. No race gives more than 40k unless many players join, BUT if someone decides to leave, you lose the bonus. So if the game gives 35k for the race and 4 players join, it will reach 45k, but if during the race some leave, it will drop you back to 35k. There are, of course, some races with a bit more, but the game gives you a car. Essentially, races are held with the same cars that the game provides you. Graphically, it's okay. In short, it's not worth the effort; it won't captivate you. For 15 euros, it's worth passing the time and nothing more. I would much rather play NFS Carbon again. Among the new NFS games, I think Heat is much better

Well, I've heard a lot about this game. It has quite a few negative comments, but I can't find the reason. Let's start with the whole concept around the story. It has to do with the fact that you had a garage. Your friends betrayed you and stole your cars, and you have to grind and fight to get them all back, just like before. Of course, if you play for hours like I did with this particular game. You will finish the story very quickly. It has a plethora of 140+ cars, except for the Supra Toyota, etc. It is a pretty good game and worth its money. The only negative thing is that the story ends quite quickly if you play seriously and for hours. After that, there won't be much else to do besides customizing cars or participating in the online part, which I haven't explored. You can also do classic missions for money. The game requires experience to play because it is quite difficult in terms of handling, although everything is adjustable in the drift and grip parts, as long as you fully upgrade your car. And of course, from the classic settings, the map doesn't say much. There is a nice nighttime atmosphere, beautiful depiction of rain during the day and night, and in general, they did a lot of work to make the game realistic. The map is small, some may get bored quickly, but for me, it is typical and as it should be. It is difficult as a game and definitely worth the money, and this comes from a friend who grew up with NFS series like Most Wanted, Undercover, Rivals, etc. It has nothing to envy from any NFS game. Now, the issue of the police. When you increase the heat level, the police are so focused on catching you that I have never seen such focused police in a racing game. The problem is that they pop up everywhere and ruin the whole scene, especially if you have collected a lot of money for upgrades, etc. But if you move smartly, have a fast car, and use the safe houses, it's the best thing ever. Plus, to avoid police helicopters when hiding under trees, you can press the omicron on your controller to turn off the engine, so if you are well hidden and not visible or if you are in the dark, you can make a great escape from the police. Congratulations to the game for that, it's a masterpiece

I don't know if it's the worst in the series because I haven't played them all, but it's definitely one of the worst. Boring single player, repetitive, terrible "tracks" as you easily lose the race boundaries and it resets you from first to last, and finally the worst and most annoying thing is the police. I have never seen this in a game before, the police in this game are determined to crush your soul, they never ever stop chasing you. I have spent about 40 hours just trying to escape them and in races about 15. Especially in heat 5 with those jeeps, you can't escape no matter what or if you manage to escape, they will find you in a very short period of time as there are infinite patrols and helicopters. Even with the "cheat" I do (I go and fall into the sea again and again and they follow me inside, it resets me without losing a life and they die), it is extremely frustrating. Honestly, I prefer to go on websites and criticize it rather than play this cancerous game. I will write reviews until I get a refund. I would rather play NFS Underground 1 & 2 again with bad graphics than this garbage. Seriously, don't buy it, the definition of wasted money is an understatement.
