    I like it but compared to the last "Need for Speed" that came out its not the best. I recommend the previous one for someone looking for drifting and great graphics.

    It’s no Forza 7. I had fun with it but very glad I picked it up on a Black Friday sale. I would wait intel it’s on sale not worth full price.

    Good graphics and storyline. But will it beat the OG need for speed Most wanted? Just give it a try.

    Got this game for my son. He enjoyed the first week, and it just started to dwindle down from there. He doesn't even play the game anymore and as a matter of fact, not sure where he placed the game. This version is just like other versions of the game but with a few more features. Graphics is good, and fun to play until you get bored of it.

    If you've played most of the other NFS games you'll understand when I say the core gameplay hasn't changed much. The story line is pretty cheesy at times, and the graphics are a little outdated. Graphics wise, it doesn't look any better than versions that came out a couple of years ago. They're still good, but not as good as other games. If you like NFS you'll probably enjoy this game, I did, but it won't WOW you.

    Got it for my little brother for Christmas and ended up giving it to him ahead of time, he loves it. The new cars that they’ve added have been a huge upgrade over the previous versions.

    I have always been a fan of the need for speed games from years ago. I recently purchased an Xbox one S. I bought it mainly for the movie and music streaming, but ultimately came down to it being fun to play games on as well. Need for speed payback was definitely my first choice for games to play. I am not disappointed in the game play of it. It's fun being able to drive anywhere in the open game plan.
