Customer Ratings & Reviews

To start off, this is a good game. It it just not a good "underground" racing game like EA said it was going back to. This game is pretty fun but lacks a lot of what I assumed would have been in the game. The racing in Need for speed was a lot of fun. It is pretty easy to get in and win some races. Also the graphics are top notch and game does look amazing. The cars the game has in it have great detail, plus some pretty cool but limited things to customize. The story is decent enough and cut scenes do look nice, as they are filmed like a movie with real people. Now my issues with the game would make me for sure not purchase it. I was 100% going to buy this ahead of time but lucky me I have the EA Pass and was able to do the 10 hour trail. After the trail I have changed my mind and decided to save my money. Starting off, this game requires it to always be online when playing. I find this funny as there is pretty much zero multiplayer unless you are playing with friends who also have the game. Just like the last Need for Speed title, it is a single player game that happens to have other random players driving around the huge open world, so occasionally you might see one drive by you. There is no option to jump into a game room with your customized car and do sprint races or anything else with random people. The story mode is fine but the actual acting is painful to watch with the words bae, dope, monster energy drinks at every turn, and just making the race community look like idiots. My other issue is that apparently you have loads of customization options.. NOT TRUE! My second vehicle purchase I found this out. I was not able to change the hood, front or rear bumpers, grill, or even side skirts. I was left with one body kit, a spoiler and rims, oh and side fenders. Each area you can change has maybe 2 options such as if the car has the option to change a front bumper, you will have two to choose from. Also the car selection is something around 30 cars if I am not mistaken. I would be fine with the small car selection if I was actually able to fully customize the cars in all aspects rather than a very select few. This was a game I really did wish I liked. This is a fun racing game but again, if you were wanting a game like the older underground series or even Carbon, you will be disappointed. With the lack of any multiplayer, very little customization compared to older underground/carbon games, and annoying acting with too much product placement, this game gets a sad two stars from me. My advice, get the EA pass for five bucks for a month and do the 10 hour trial.

Game was purchased as a gift. My son enjoys all of the Need for Speed titles.

GOOD GAME IF THIS IS WHAT THEY HAVE IN-STORE I CANT WAIT

Great to see customization going back to the underground

The newest Need For Speed game is pretty fun but could have been a lot better. Some of the daily challenges can be frustrating like the ones having to do with police chases or "near miss" bonuses because of the lack of traffic on the streets. This lack of traffic makes the races less frustrating because you're less likely to crash into random traffic, but it also makes the city feel lifeless and abandoned, and can pose problems with driving around for a half hour just to find enough other cars to complete daily challenges. The story was pretty well written and i liked the mix of live action video with rendered scenes, and I don't regret playing through the game. I just think it fell a little short from what it was capable of being.

This is a good game in terms of graphics and features but controls seem off even for an arcade racer. Have seen this complaint elsewhere so hopefully it will get fixed via an update at some point.

Amazing graphics and cool paced game and great cars

people keep saying you can only play online. Just go to game settings and click play alone. You shouldn't give bad reviews if you don't know what you're doing. The open world and customizations are great. Best NFS I've played since ps2.

I'm a car guy and love to race. This game is a safer and cheaper way to live out my dream cars and fix them to my liking.

It is a gift of Black Friday, I like this game. Great.

This game could probably be good if it didnt require yet another account and full online access just to play a single player game. You pay $60 for a game and that isnt good enough anymore? Heaven forbid someone want to play a quick game by themselves without having to log into a server somewhere. Why is the only way to play anything nowadays online? I miss the days of getting together with a couple friends and playing split screen on a game, now its all online or nothing.

Love how they added Porsche to the lineup of cars. Finally get to drift and collect RWB in the dream garage! Virtual at least haha

I beat it good all the way it's fun and open world deal and one's you get drifting down. :-)

i love this game i think it is a well put together game for the xbox one, the only thing i dont like is its not two player, like wtf? why cant i play with friends.

Well in my opinion the game is complete garbage. No custom controller settings, looks horrible, seems to be rushed and given no love. Really without dragging out this comment I'll give the most important to me. The steering is a complete mess it went for some type of drifting plus street racing style control, an absolutely failed. Honestly I feels so fake with no flow I truly had to just uninstall after like 2 hours gameplay. I've never done that! So if I could go back and slap myself before buying I definitely would. DO YOURSELF A FAVOR AN DON'T BUY. BELIEVE ME YOU'LL BE HAPPY YOU DIDN'T.

If you're looking for an arcade racer for your new system, look no further.

Got this on Black Friday for my fiancé, he really likes this game.

You have to be connected online the entire time. Weak story, crashing servers....and this is assuming you can connect to the game in the first place. Definitely get Forza instead. Read these reviews, the game sucks and in this day and age this kind of poor quality shouldn't be being sold. I immediately returned it within a month.

the turning is very raw and unlike previous NFS games.

I'm very disappointing ,this game and the previous(rivals) NFS games(xbox on) do not work with the driving wheel(Thrust master wheel)! I use to love,love NFS games but I rebuke playing a driving game with a hand held regular controller ! Sad
