Usually, I start by explaining the game's story, but really, from what happened in the game, I only remembered two things at most. But as you read, probably like in other reviews, yes, it was cringe and it excessively glorified Akira Nakai. Alright, moving on. The graphics are amazing. It truly looks like it came out this year. Now, as for the gameplay, it is excessively mediocre. Let's start with the fact that when there is a crash, you literally see a cutscene and loading screen that, yes, the game doesn't stop, and the other person has left you 50 kilometers behind (they must have done it again, but I don't remember). To retry, of course, it throws you out of the race instead of starting it again, and to start, you have to be in a specific position! No, my friend, we don't like where you are. Do a reverse and we'll let you play. Besides that, if you want to do anything while playing, you can't pause, even when playing single player! So, if you're in a race, imagine roughly. Hands on the controller and don't do anything else or else restart (for which you have to do a nice reverse). But to sweeten it for you, it has touge and drag racing. Unfortunately, it doesn't have many cars, but it has plenty of modifications, both exterior and mechanical. You can even upgrade the head gasket. Also, it is the last NFS game that has Toyota. Overall, it is good but not good enough.

So, having played and spent many hours with all the nfs games that have been released for the ps4, it's time to evaluate this one. It is a very good Nfs but it also has a few, albeit "intense," negatives. Firstly, the graphics of the game are amazing and stunning. Especially considering it is a game from 7 years ago. They are so good, where the lights of the streets, shops, etc. illuminate based on the color of the car, due to the rainwater if one observes carefully. The graphics and the garage are very good. The gameplay depends. On one hand, you can enjoy it, but on the other hand, it can be very frustrating. Perhaps they went overboard with the difficulty and realism in some races. It is very annoying that you cannot pause and also very frustrating that you can race for 10 minutes and lose the race because you didn't make the time by 1 or 2 seconds. It is also very annoying that if you crash somewhere, the car gets destroyed and it takes quite some time to restart in some way. Many times, there were moments where I was leading the whole race, even with a distance, and just before the finish line, I crashed and by the time it restarted, everyone had passed me. In a way, the handling was difficult and not so good. However, the races that the game offers are plenty and diverse (some racing, some drifting (here, drifting has many different categories), some with time, some drag, etc.). However, there is no off-road, not even jeeps are sold, imagine that. The customization is very good and fully "car-like" like all the nfs games. The way of upgrading the cars internally is awesome and classic. Now, the story is good, not bad, but not excellent either. The police, if you have a good car, are easy. The sound, like all the NFS games, is amazing. It can wake you up! The sound of the cars is very realistic. Sometimes, you feel like you are driving in reality! Also, very realistic is the fact that depending on the turbo you put in the car, the sound it makes is different! I have no opinion on the multiplayer. PS For the 5 euros I got it from the ps store, it is worth it and more. Today, even up to 20 euros, it is good, but not more. If you are a fan of NFS and haven't gotten it, run and get it!

In the graphics department, this game is a masterpiece, from the textures to the car wraps, to the representation of the environment, it is FLAWLESS. Beyond that, the only additional aspect of the game that makes it unique is its customization depth. Unique sounds for each car, which, it should be noted, change with any modifications such as the engine or exhaust, as they should, several options for the car's exterior appearance (but be careful: not for all cars, for example, while you can change even the mirrors on the 911, on the 458 Italia, only a complete body kit gives you the feeling of change). Of course, we should mention that the greatest variety of changes for all cars is the interior modifications, which, although they count on paper (you can easily reach 1000+ horsepower with your GTR), do not have any significant influence in the game since the A.I is simply unacceptable. For example, in races against Amy, no matter what car you have, it doesn't matter if you're Sonic, she will always be stuck behind you with her RX7 (I think), if not quite ahead of you. And if you crash, everyone in front of you suddenly hits the brakes for some reason so that you can catch up to them... The cut-scenes are considered comical if you're in a good mood or ridiculously awkward if you're not. A big bummer, at least for me, is the monotony of the weather and the environment: Well done, guys at EA, your textures for rain and flares from the headlights, lights, etc. are very nice, but we're tired of dawn and rain... Finally, and most importantly: we need more cars! Adding Ferrari is great, but not at the expense of Audi, guys, or how many other manufacturers whose cars would have adorned the game! (For the record, in the 2012 Most Wanted, you could even drive the Ford Ranger).

In conclusion: If the above observations are addressed in future patches, as EA has promised, the rating goes up. If not, the game is a good addition to someone's collection, but nothing more.

The closest Need For Speed to Underground 2!!! Ultimate game.. incredible graphics, very good sound etc, Nice Drift and overall Gameplay, good map with 2 mountains, 4 cities connected by highways.. Very strong Story + the best Videos in the Story that have ever come out!!! It's like you're there and they're talking to you.. They have combined reality with the game, simply Unbelievable! It's worth the 40 euros I easily spent.
*The only downside is that it can only be played single player, at least it has online..
*The best Build for cars that has ever existed in Need for Speed at least!! Imagine, I spent 2 hours just customizing the color... Unbelievable mechanical Upgrades, there are 20 to be exact (turbo, engines, brakes, everything)
*It also has some Most Wanted cops set up with speedometers, chasing you, etc.
*Classic random Racers who drift in the mountains, etc. are also included.
*And finally, a large and powerful variety of cars for your Garage (you can have up to 5)
The only - is that it doesn't have split-screen on the same console and you can't press start within the game.

A 9/10 for me !!!!!
