Need for Speed: Heat

There isn't much to say about this game besides that it's a must buy. The story is rather short but I didn't care, the gameplay, graphics, mechanics, and cars took the cake. Buy it when you can. Here's some of my favorite cars to drive, and why. All of the McLarens, the Porsches, the 60-70's Fords and Dodges, and all of which are fun, good looking, fast, sort of expensive but worth it, and just overall great! And that's just MY favorites, there's plenty of others out there. And they're not just sports cars, there's casual cars as well. Really good game, can't stress that enough. And yes I would recommend well over The Crew and Forza. This game is better than both, not to mention the sound design. The engines... man oh man. Just buy it for yourself.

The Good:

NFS Heat is a really solid game. It has an engaging plot and characters who actually have development and somewhat interesting. Races are fun and can be quite challenging. Night races however are extremely difficult. If your a new player and your trying to get some good rep from night, do not go past Heat level 2 because it's the equivalent of You being Nikita Mazepin whilst the Cops are all F1's greatest ever drivers. Once you get a decent car with decent parts you can get to higher heat levels and risk it all. The customisation in this game is really good. The majority of cars have multiple body kit options which you can mix and match.

The Bad: The voice acting is terrible. The Player and Lucas have some good dialogue and aren't too bad whilst Ana is the most annoying character ever. She is straight up annoying. Lucas and Ana will call you at random points and they just end up arguing over the most dumb thing imaginable before you hang up. The Porsche RSR is the most OP car in the game and nothing comes close. You could be racing it against a Lamborghini and it would demolish it. Also the car list is very small compared to the likes of Forza or Gran Turismo. However there is a lot of variety.

Overall it is a solid game but with a few flaws.

I think this game is pretty cool. The detail on the cars is great and the storyline is fantastic. Unfortunately, the story mode is very short, I beat it in less than eight hours. The fact of a character customizer sounds great, but this customizer is not as cool. I thought it would be like NBA2K. Heck, 2K20's can have you scan your face to make your avatar.

I wish the gameplay didn't focus on being at Nighttime so much. The cops literally are so hard to lose no matter what difficultly or what equipment you put your car with. Especially when trying to get to the high heat races, when you have your heat level on 5, there literally is no where you can hide. Even with the ELITE radar disruptor. Also, the nitrous is not as good as the previous games. I've equipped my car with three cans, but when you tap the X button, it uses up one can fully and you have to wait for it to reload. Unlike the previous games where you can hold the button and use your nitrous.

I can praise it for having better car customization that Payback, but still, the 2015's customizer will always reign supreme, it was a lot simpler. Is it worth a buy? Yes! Is the best one on PS4? Not quite.

The gameplay, mechanics, and storyline are all good but the cops are just way too overpowered. I try just 1 race and then guess what, 3 cops chase me for 15 minutes then more cops appeared and so on until Heat Level 5. And at Heat Level 5 I highly doubt there are any chances for the player to escape and even if they do, the cops are just going to camp in nearby safehouses. Making it unable for the player to end rhe night. The cars are great and there is a big range of them, and there are a lot of upgrades and customizations you can do. Gameplay 9/10. Mechanics 8/10. Storyline 7/10. Enemies(Cops) 2/10. Overall 6.5/10. Im going to put it as a 7/10 to be nice.

This is probably the best need for speed ever, its aesthetic and nostalgic, its nearly perfect
