Yes, there are better, more realistic racing experiences on the market, but few titles can match the pure engagement that this year’s Need for Speed offers.
The Nerd Stash: "Here are the best iconic cars in the Need For Speed games that have become the signature of this franchise in the past two decades."
Over the years, the Need For Speed series has proven to be more than capable of offering the ultimate racing experience.
EA's highly anticipated racing title Need For Speed Mobile is now available as early access in Australia for Android and iOS.
easy there, killer. its good but not THAT good. lol
@reallynow, have you played it....if so, is it better than the awesome Criterion PS3/36o efforts, in Most Wanted & Hot Pursuit?????
I've been playing Need for Speed for 5 hours straight, and I must say I'm REALLY happy with it and kinda disappointed with it on some aspects of the game. I'm definitely happy, extremely happy with the way they're taking this series back to its roots, its what I really want, its what the majority of NFS fans wanted after all! Based on my experience, I'm happy with it, just happy with the way it plays. Sure, there's some issues like the A.I and the handling on some of the cars I tried, it's not perfect, but the awesome customization that lets you change every part of the car to your liking that I even spent 2 hours straight in the garage just customizing my BRZ, tons of options to choose from, front bumpers, rear bumpers, fenders, spoilers, rims, body kits, skirts, and on and on and on! Its just outstanding and similar to Underground customization but this one has more than that, more in-depth customizable parts of the car. Also the great progression system and great graphics (possibly the best looking racing game in 2015! Closely in par with DRIVECLUB graphics! but DC still has the edge on this aspect) makes it stand out from the rest of the recent NFSs.
Its a step in the right direction, and they should continue on it and learn from their mistakes on this one and add more to the game, and they really need to remove the always online its kinda unnecessary to be honest, but what I like was that other players can start races with you (impromptu races - similar to the way it is in GTA V online) and also the normal user-triggered races scattered across the map.
I'm liking it so far, sure you start slowly and with a SLOW stock car, but when you level up it all gets exciting as more tuning and upgrades unlock and it can be a game changer.
All it needs is a little fine tuning like stability and extra parts for some cars and more cars (51 cars atm) and it could very well be a great arcade racer we've been waiting for for ages.

-its a good game, I'm really happy with it, hopefully with future updates it would get even better if they do it right, who knows. You guys remember DRIVECLUB when it launched? mixed reviews and all, but look at it now, an unprecedented racing game on the PS4 with bikes!
I hope GhostGames would improve their game, since they said they'll be releasing DLCs for free in future updates, I can't wait to see what will they add to the game.
