Need for Speed, then, feels like the tutorial for a deeper racer, or the barebones bit you can play while the rest of the game downloads in the background. It’s not only boring, but so bereft of ideas that it represents a series running dangerously low on creative fuel. The hazard lights are blinking.
This year, EA's NFS developer Ghost Studios takes us to Palm City - a very thinly veiled version of Miami - for a bit of street-racing with Need for Speed Heat. Heat puts behind us some of the odd design choices employed by EA Games' Ghost Studios in...
Thanks to a lacklustre AI and questionable design direction and needless narrative filled with forgettable characters, the reboot loses the heart of what makes Need for Speed games great. The end result is a pretty but mediocre arcade...

Electronic Arts' newest PC racing game is gorgeous, and offers lots of customization options, but it's super-buggy and features some of the most annoying characters in video game...

This is certainly the best Need for Speed PC port in years, but the game itself isn't that great. Come for the racing, stay for the dumb live-action scenes.
The always-online nature of the game isn't as annoying as we feared, but it's still annoying. Even after activating the well-hidden Play Alone option, Need for Speed just doesn't feel like a single-player game. It sure is nice to be rid of the annoying...
When looking at Need for Speed's performance on the PC platform it strange to consider that this game was almost released with a 30FPS limit, as during our whole time testing we had difficulty even getting this game to run at below 60, except when...
Need for Speed 2016 (PC) ist dank der längeren Entwicklungszeit, durchaus ein gelungener Titel für einen Reboot. Sicherlich gibt es hier und da minimale Abstriche, aber welches Spiel ist heutzutage perfekt… Nun nach knapp 6 Stunden Spielspaß, kann ich...
Die längere Entwicklungszeit hat dem neusten Need-for-Speed-Ableger (oder sollte man doch eher von einem Reboot sprechen?) sichtlich gut getan. Das Entwicklerteam Ghost hat das flotte Arcade-Feeling der Ur-Vorlage (Need for Speed: Underground) sehr gut...
Da wäre mehr drin gewesen… Leider bestätigt sich der Eindruck meiner umfangreichen Preview-Session. Ghost Games gibt sich zwar redlich Mühe, möglichst viel aus der PC-Hardware herauszuholen, vergisst aber die vielen kleinen Macken des Originals...
Tobias Veltin@FrischerVeltinOptisch haut mich Need for Speed auf dem PC regelrecht aus den Socken - vor allem in 4k-Auflösung ist der Underground-Renner ein echtes Fest für die Augen und gehört meiner Meinung nach zu den aktuell schönsten Rennspielen...
