Need for speed never disappoints. Fun new story line and vehicle customization. The car handling could use a little work though.

This game is awesome and fun to play. I’ve always loved the Need for Speed franchise and this game doesn’t disappoint.

This game is by far the best need for speed ever. They brought back some old school things which made it excellent!

Graphics are great and the gameplay too but i was expecting more from NFS

I’ve been looking for a complete racing game, and this is it!!! I’m having a blast playing it and so is my wife!!

I bought this game because iam a need 4 speed freak love this game...

NFS always Kills it with the games they bring out this one just shows how good they’ve gotten over the years

My teenage son asked for this game for Christmas. He has played it for hours on end since he opened it up!

My son is 12, loves it but gets super frustrated when he can’t control it, will take more practice.

Bought this game to play in my free time. The graphics are good but the PlayStation experience is so much different. I truly enjoy playing this game and look forward to playing it as often as I am able to. Excellent game.

If you liked the others, you will love this game! Fun and reminds me of underground and most wanted!

An experience for any racer. Building customs and classics while going through excellent story mode.

my daughter loves this game, she enjoys playing with friends

Need for Speed Payback is a fun open world racer and you could do much worse than playing it, but its attempts at goading the player into using micro-transactions, uneven difficulty and attempts to crib open world design elements from Forza Horizon keep the game from being truly great. You play as three protagonists, Tyler, Mac and Jess as they race Fortune Valley a Las Vegas stand-in as they complete various racing, drifting, dirt, drag and getaway events to take down 'The House' a cartel that has been fixing street races and screwed over Tyler. Blah blah, the story is knock-off Fast & Furious schlocky tripe, but nobody plays racing games for the plot anyway. The game can look very good at times and the open world is fun to drive around in, mostly because of the open world activities you can do in it. Smashing billboards, breaking speed records, drifting, finding derelict cars and challenging roaming racers are all fun to do, and I know that because I had fun doing them in Forza Horizon. Still, for people who don't have access to an XBox One or a decent PC, this game can be a good replacement for Forza in its best moments. It's just too bad that the highs are counterbalanced by a vehicle upgrade system that, maybe true to the game's Las Vegas aesthetic feels less like upgrading a car and more like pulling a lever on a slot machine. To the game's credit, since it has been released the game has made its upgrade system kinder and gentler, putting less pressure on the player to give in and purchase micro-transactions. However simply having to engage with a randomized upgrade system that was designed to frustrate you into paying more left a bad taste in my mouth, regardless of them walking it back. Also, this game has some of the more ridiculously blatant rubber banding I've seen in a racing game in a long time. You will absolutely feel it when you eat wall and get sent to the back of the pack and the cars ahead of you slow down to give you a chance, just as you will when you're ahead and the cars always manage to stay close enough to pass you if you make one single mistake, no matter how high you've leveled your car. This ties back into the micro-transactions; the game seems to purposefully try to frustrate you so you will go to the store and pull the level on the slot machine and hope you get something useful. Forget about being the same level as an event being enough to beat it; I found that you need to be at least 15 to 20 levels higher before your chances of winning went from being a coin toss to likely. All in all, it's an okay game, but people with access to Forza Horizon 3 should just get that instead.

Fun game. Play it a lot and it’s worth the money. Buy it if you like need for speed games

I got this on blackfriday deal and this game is really fun to play..great gameplay and storyline
