Prelude Boy 99

I am a huge fan of Need for speed since NFS carbon, and I gotta say this game is fantastic. From the in-depth customization to the intense cop chases, this game feels like its found its identity. We had a very weird period of NFS games that were trying to do something different. Titles like hot pursuit, nfs shift, rivals and the run tried to make the franchise into something different but did not stay consistent. Need for speed 2015 and heat was great but had handling issues that detracted from the gameplay, and let's not talk about how poor NFS payback did with its loot boxes. I was very skeptical with this NFS, I heard criterion was helping the development of this game and I immediately thought it was gonna be another hot pursuit or rivals. But seeing the trailer and watching people play it gave me a NFS carbon vibe, especially when they give you 3 cars (muscle, tuner, or exotic) to choose from. So here are my pros: -multiplayer is fun, and it gives you a reason to race people to build your garage and upgrade your car -the story is interesting, not oscar worthy but not boring. -Customization is good, just like NFS Heat -cars handle great, each car handles differently from each others which gives the game a more strategic approach -chicago setting is beautiful and engaging -graphics are beautiful -cars sound great Cons -cheesy writing -a little repetitive -grindy -same car list as heat with 10 new cars What I want improved -car list(I get no Toyota but add older hondas or Nissan) -new parts (Add blower for muscle cars) -different events Conclusion: NFS unbound is the racing game we all want, this is what nfs is. Forza and turismo are realistic sims, NFS is an arcade racer that has customization. if you can overlook the grind, youll have a great time playing. EA, if you're reading please don't let this game die like heat. There is so much potential for DLC and expansions. DO this game JUSTICE AND KEEP IT ALIVE.
