Need for Speed: Heat

I like how the game feels and it actually is a LOT better than NFS:Payback So keep it up EA,this game is ok in my opinion a 7.3/10

Finally they have made a game that is it okay to play I Believe that Need For Speed Most Wanted 2005 is better for storyline but gameplay yes it takes it away.

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.

This game is Awesome! Frostbite Ghost and EA are doing a great job. It really Reminds me of the first Need For Speed game I ever bought which happens to be 2005 Most Wanted i put it up there with this and that Polestar is insane. I remember when I couldn't stop playing MW till I got my M3 back the story was perfect and the ways they had some small movie cut scene was sweet and when the cops chased me it was Heat pumping non stop I mean I didn't want my car taken it got to the point where my heart was pumping so hard I thought I was having a pannick attack because of how many were chasing me. That game can never be beat even when they had that slow motion hitting the corners like bullet time then realigning yourself and hitting the nitrous it was crazy and I was addicted and couldn't wait to get home after classes to get back on it Even my girlfriend at the time couldn't get enough. I can go on about this but im running out of time. This game reminds me of Most Wanted and these graphics are beautiful then hitting the track and sanctioned legal races then Turning Up! At night? Pssh lov it! Keep up the great work guys I really hope you guys continue this awesome franchise. I know its a bit hard coming up with new material but aye what more do you Want its racing and cops and making your Whip look hot. Bring it on!

I have played almost every single Need for speed game there has been. From the highs of being a teenager and going to my friends house to smash Underground 1 and 2, to sitting back and enjoying the brilliance that was the OG Most wanted, to a few average games like rivals or the need for speed remake. Need for speed heat is for me one of laziest, dullest most depressing need for speed games I've ever played. It starts.... and that's it, you pick a car and you race, no story, no reason to race, just there you go... go race some sloppy, dull tracks and get cash to buy a few menial upgrades to make your car look shiny and drive abit faster. That's fine for 5-10 hours of gameplay but when it's one copy paste track after another the appeal of the game wears off pretty fast. Now I haven't read any other reviews for this game but I'm sure some of them will say the day/night cycle is a "revolution" or it's a breath of fresh air. It's not. Daytime you get cash, night you get rep. Hardly an era defining invention. Daytime is fine, very boring, like a much worse, poorer quality version of Forza but acceptable. Night on the other hand is a hot stinking used diaper wrapped up in a dead fish. It's sucks. Now the cops start out fine, the thrill of avoiding cops and getting your races in is better than day, but all of sudden without blinking an eye I go from trying to do just 2, 2!!! Races and I have level 5 cops in corvettes ramming me and a rhino police van smashing into me head on. I had zero chance of escape, none. I had the starter Nissan 240 car, Albeit modded a fair amount for my low level. Ok I thought that's fine I got busted, my bad, my fault, maybe I need to drive better in future (Despite the fact I can beat razor in most wanted with one hand) but sure it's on me. Then... wait a second, where's all my money ?, Gone!!!. Sank down the drain like this game. They don't just take the money you earned for that day night cycle, they take it ALL. So I would have to go and complete all those awful stupid little circuits and sprints again just to earn my money back. Around 8 hours completely thrown out of the window because I can't escape what seemed to me like a Bugatti cheron police assault with my starter car. To me that is zero fun whatsoever. It's the equivalent of trying to play through red dead 2 and its 80+ hour campaign and if you die just once you have to start from the very beginning. I want to be punished for getting busted, but not to the point where I would be better off deleting my game save. Poor excuse for a game, bang average customisation, poor gameplay and no story whatsoever. 3/10.
