Customers have good things to say about the game's impressive graphics, extensive car customization options, and engaging gameplay. Many appreciate the variety of cars available and the ability to personalize them. However, some criticisms focus on the brevity and somewhat predictable storyline. The requirement for an always-online connection has also been a point of frustration for some players.

I nearly passed on this title as it got sort of polarizing reviews. I'm so glad I didn't and went ahead and purchased it. The first night I cracked it open and played it I played for nearly 8 hours straight without stopping. Yes it's just that crazy addictive. The graphics are mind blowingly good. Most of the races occur at night and only a few are at dusk or dawn and none are during the day but you will not really care.
The cars handle arcade like, so don't expect any sim here. They have upgraded the livery to be like Forza 6 but it's still not quite as good, however you can still do a ton of customization of your car both in looks and in engine and body tuning.
If you're a racing fan at all, and enjoy arcade racing then this is a must buy. Don't listen to the negative nellies, this game is well worth the $60 and I'd heartily recommend it to any racing fan.

Well I'll start with the customization, pretty freaken awesome!! Takes me back to Underground series where you have more freedom to fully customize your own vehicle into multiple layers of paint & decals that create wonders. The handling feels just about right depending if you're more into drifting or sticking onto roads without easily sliding off all over the place. Also you can be in same lobby as friends, do missions together or even challenge one another to see who's car is faster or maybe just cruise around causing trouble. Feels like NFS even then, now on the downside I feel like the story wasn't all that, seemed to corny & over the top acting with people being too chill with you. I wouldn't consider it being a game that'll last you long enough, but it'll do to keep you unbored here and there when in a racing mood.! And the worst (at least to me) was knowing that it is only an online game, meaning that without internet, you cannot play this game at all! Keep that in mind, for those who have no internet access or very poor connection I guess!

I have been a die hard NFS fan from the beginning. The game has great visuals and awesome customizations. The car selection has a broad range of tuners to exotics. The overall game play is amazing.

I've been playing NFS since their early years, i own all NFS games at this point, although i can mention some great games from this video game series like Underground and Most Wanted, last years i've been disappointed, but this game brings back my attention to the NFS franchise. It has good game play, excellent graphics and a lot of racing. The game could be better but i can say this is a great comeback for the series.

I was always a big fan of the Need for Speed series dating back to Hot Pursuit. This loomked pretty good so I picked it up. Visually, the cars and environment you drive in looks awesome. Game play is pretty easy to get used to. Story is ok to good. Only complaint n reason I didn't give it 5 stars was it could have been longer and there could be more cars to choose from/put in your garage as you only have space for 5. However, if your a NFS fan, you'll really enjoy the game.

Was pleased to see Need For Speed took some of the old style from the underground customization series to hot pursuit. Cops on the game are not as intense as past series until you rank up a bit. Upset the game is only online so you can't play if offline and don't want to race against others or don't have connection for a single player game.

Loved the graphics, cars, and much more, but it was not what I was expecting. Plus, I finished the game and I could not even start collecting cars since we are only allowed to have 5 cars. I ended up trading the game for Fallout. Don't get me wrong, I loved the game, but it also put me in a bad mood and I never get in a bad mood? :)

Great game. Very fun. I love how it ties in previous NFS games, cars, and vinyls. Took away 1 star for the lack of on-line multiplayer. Still a great game though. Also like the ability to tweak the car's handling for drift vs street. Lots of possibilities with the vinyls and wrap editor.

I love NFS series. I had to get the game at somewhere else though because when I went into bestbuy store they didn't have my preorder. So I had to go get one from the GameStop. Overall I really like the game & like that it has more customization then the past few games.
