Criterion give you the tools to race but it is up to the player to find out how to turn the car into a finely tuned racing machine. That said, the skill of breaking and utilizing the cars weight for “take downs” is key. Weaving in and out of traffic with these cars is fluid and natural. Cars feel responsive, even down to the low level Ford Focus. You will be racing with real world cars, but they are not realistic in the way they handle. If you have played the previous Criterion developed Need for Speed title Hot Pursuit, the handling will feel instantly familiar. The mix should be a winning combination, but odd design choices hamper what could have been a great racing experience. This year Criterion takes the helm, bringing their signature style, love of speed and crashes as from Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit, and layering it on an open world. Although it took the series in a new direction, it felt dull, uninspired and overall an unpleasant experience.
After last year’s foray into racing with Need for Speed: The Run the series left a bad taste in the mouths of many fans. Yet another year has passed and that means another Need for Speed title hits store shelves.
