Need for Speed: Heat

The best Need for Speed yet!!! (In my opinion) The mechanics and driving physics are phenomenal. So realistic! You can actually drive in your lane at 150 miles an hour if your reaction time is good. The cornering has been significantly improved. It was also a great move for EA to bring back the option to change the specks on the vehicles you have for the different styles, i.e. drift, offroad, race etc. Using parts and tires, instead of having to buy two different styles of the same vehicle like in Payback. Literally the only thing I feel needs improvement is that the story feels far too short. At Rep level 30 it's about done, with a max of 50. Although I will say I just finished the game and was only at 21% completion, so there is plenty left to do. Absolutely my favorite since when Most Wanted redefined the series for PS2. Definitely check this one out if you are a fan of racing games. Casual or serious, this one's got something for you. See you out there!!!

It has been a while since I played any NFS game. I would say this is a good one, story is not bad, but feels like it needs more depth and also feels like it's just there for the sake of being there.

The racing feels great once you get the hang of the controls, for any car enthusiast or even non-enthusiasts, game is fun to just go through the campaign.

For 100% completion you will definitely need to git gud, as there are heat levels that you will need to rack up. Meaning the higher the level, the more police will follow, helicopters, heavy duty, all that crap will stand in your way. And yes, you lose all the heat level progress if you get caught and also lose your mind 🥴.

I definitely prefer the classics over this, but it is a good change of pace. Planning to come back to it later for DLC and 100% completion.

I just can't play this anymore.What the hell happened to NFS franchise?How this game managed to go from fun racing video games in 2000's to one of the most generic and bland games out there?It's been like that ever since Black Box stopped working on it and Ghost games took over.Ever since Rivals,it doesn't have any reason to get me interested.In just over 1 hour of gameplay I found so many reasons to dislike it.First of all handling and drifting feels weird and stiff.You build your rep by winning races at night and daytime,which got old really fast.Map feels lifeless.Characters are all generic,bland and painfully uninteresting.Soundtrack is horrible.Who wants to listen to Cardi B and bad rap music while playing NFS games,man I miss good Rock,Heavy metal and Alternate rock music in these games.I can safely say that Need For Speed franchise is dead.These developers are passionless about these games,they just milk it for loyal fans who keep buying this stuff.Every now and then I see this game being over 90% off on steam,and I can't believe EA got so desperate to sell a game.Just please end the franchise.It hasn't been interested since The Run. How come that EA wasn't able to make a best NFS since Most Wanted is beyond my understanding,that game came out in 2005.And another thing that bothered me,since when did getting popular on social media ever mattered in racing games?Because that's all I'm hearing in Heat story,from all characters.I thought I was gonna enjoy Heat,but man that was just a waste of time.Never wanna play another NFS game unless it's from Underground towards The Run

Played on: Playstation 5
Version: Playstation 4
Edition: Digital

Yet another bland Need For Speed title. Nothing new to see here & the story is flat out bad. The driving feels fine for the most part & the customization is nice. This game & these games in general are in some serious need of going back to the drawing board to come up with a product worthy of release. Otherwise this is just the same engine with just another code of paint (pun intended).

Final verdict: Don't touch it

it was awful,story was like kids story,dialogs was cringe also strory was short,gameplay didnt change also graphics,map was empty,you were in a city but you would feel alone

I'd say this was a modest above average racing game. The neon graphics paired with the gorgeous cars made this really fun to play. While the driving was okay, the cops difficulty made this game really frustrating. The city and races were nothing out of the ordinary and the story was forgettable at best.
