I only bought the game because I wanted to prove the reviews wrong but honestly the reviews ended up being right. The game just didn't do the Need for Speed franchise justice.

How is a high speed racing game super boring? Well... it tries to hard to be realistic... if I wanted a realistic game I would buy a nascar came. It’s super repetitive... you speed. There’s cops. We get it. It’s not Mario Kart.

Worth playing, gets a little repetitive

I put about 10 hours into each of the cop and racer careers, which was just enough to get all the game's achievements/trophies. It was my first "next-gen" game and it was a pretty decent one to start with, but far from the best racing game I've played.
DLC:
This version includes the same game disc, and a download code for all the DLC packs. Unfortunately the DLC doesn't add anything super amazing, like new story/career missions or game modes. Just new cars. The new cars are definitely cool, and have some awesome stats, but don't get *too* excited over the DLC bonus.
After playing and completing the story, here are my thoughts on Need for Speed Rivals:
[+] The graphics are really cool, but only barely noticeably better than racing games I have on my PS3/Xbox 360. Have we plateaued with car graphics?
[+] The careers give you lots of short-term objectives to work towards which make it a lot easier to keep playing for longer than you expect. It is addictive at times when you are always so close to meeting another goal.
[+] I really like being able to drive around in a large open world with other racers, though you can also play offline if you wish.
[+] Vehicle "pursuit tech" and upgrades are not a new feature or idea, but they are nonetheless fun ways to be rewarded for playing and earning points
[-] The 3-4 different types of events for each "faction" get repetitive and don't offer too much variety.
[-] I found the racer career significantly less fun and more annoying than the cop career, since you almost always have people chasing you even when you're not really doing anything "wrong". It gets annoying to not be able to take a breath for awhile in peace. The cop career obviously doesn't have this problem since you are the law so you can do whatever the #*!$ you want with no repercussions, much like in real life
[-] Loading times are excessive for a game installed to your hard drive, especially when you are just going to your "hideout" which just loads a menu. There should NEVER be loading times just to get to a menu screen! There are also too many disconnects in online public games, which really interfere with enjoying the game.
So overall, probably not the best purchase at full price, but it did provide me with many hours of entertainment that I could certainly recommend at bargain bin prices.

Average nfs game, nothing too special. Best graphics of the series, but not best gameplay. Nfs 2015 hopefully will be a massive leap forward in both ways.

Great Game, Especially if you have the right equipment for it. For instance, I play it on a pretty sweet 52" TV. Surround Sound system. It pretty much feels like you're in the cars racing. Great graphics. Just an Awesome game!!
