Okay being a need for speed fan this franchise gets me going and always excited for a new need for speed release title. Payback sounded like they had managed to get the mix right this time but once I got a chance to play this game I was highly disappointed, every need for speed game is compared to the benchmark of the classic Need for speed most wanted and underground 2 on PS2 days and those games were amazingly fun! They had a sense of pleasure playing and really got you attached to your one car you nursed from scratch to be a top sleeper car, the cop chases in original most wanted was fantastic really pushed your "driving skill" to really think of ways to escape with your car with all the amount of time spent modifying it. Fast forward to payback and it seems to be one step forward and 2 steps back, payback sounded like they might have had it together but for me the game just wasn't as good as I'd hope. The game is not all bad there are some aspects that are good, like the cars available are good but not the best selections but still pretty decent, and the not so good just outweigh the good ones. Car customization is good I like they've brought back actual car modifications visually unlike previous need for speed where you felt you couldn't really do anything much to your car beside paint job. I won't say much about the story as it's a matter of whether you'll like it or not with self preference. Now the disappointment of the game comes to the whole racing feel and cop chases which makes the need for speed game the game itself, after countless hours spent on the game and races I found them to be routine and really doesn't test the amount of time spent modifying your car's performance because it becomes irrelevant as I start to know when on the road I will be able to take the lead when AI cars seem to pull-back that for me just made races feel programed instead of testing each car's power and tune up. Cop chases are simply pathetic and the worst I've even seen, the cops just seem to be on your tail with their stupid normal cars compared to your maxed out tuned car which ruins the chase and no matter what you do you just can't seem to shake them off until a certain point on the road which again makes it seem programed when cops can drop out the chase instead of the car out running the cops like back on the original PS2 most wanted and to be honest that's the whole reason why we play need for speed to be those rebels on screen and tests the cops. Also with free roaming you literally left with nothing to do but just drive and can't pick up cop chases for the thrill of testing your cars power and that for me was a let down that cops are only available in races only and you can't just feel brave and pick a battle with a random cop driving by because there are no cops driving by.

I played this game back on PlayStation 3 and WOW!!! I have never thought or imagined a game could be more than just a game. This should definitely go in the history books of greatest game of all time as it still got everyone talking about it. The game has everything you could possibly imagine the incredible story filled with emotions and chills as you progress fighting and surviving your way makes it even more amazing that it isn't just another shooter or fighter game but it is a game that every move you make has a ripple effect. Joel and Ellie at first were 2 characters so different from each other but that blend together nailed it! I don't want to say much and spoil for those who haven't yet played the game (I don't know why you still haven't played it by now) but You get the feel of lost for Joel and the feel of family for Ellie which makes you get emotionally attached to both of them. The graphics on PS3 was the best and absolutely breathtaking of what the console could achieve in its time for the game but switch to PS4 and you will really see the amount of detail and stunning power of the current console has to offer for this game which already has been already the best on PS3. The game is a real survival game where nothing is just as simple and rationing is key to your survival and also when to use certain weapons for certain enemies made it more exciting as the decision rests on you. The fights are incredibly the best! From being able to use almost anything you can get your hands on whether it's bricks, steel pipes or good old gun fire power you always have a smile on your face after it. What I can say you can't enjoy the Part 2 without getting to experience Part 1 and form the bond with Joel and Ellie and Part 2 has got everyone on edge waiting for it. Naughty Dog has made an amazing game Thank you! and I don't think another one is yet to top this game by far!

One of the top 5 best exclusive title to have! If you have a Playstation 4 console you already made the first step in making the best decision, secondly if you still haven't experienced the exclusive titles on offer for PlayStation 4 then you way behind and of course God of war is among the best top 5. This game is more than just another best game described, it has to the the best game I have played by far! The emotions into the father and son adventure and bond gets you attached from the get go with thrilling battles of enemies there is never a dull moment whether you in battle or exploring, you just don't want to stop doing neither. Battles are epic and never easy if you really want to test your skills, and defeating that one enemy you have a challange with makes it more satisfying once you defeat it and you just want to keep looking for more powerful ones! The story is captivating well thought and doesn't feel like another game story to complete the game, you get really emotional attached and with that this makes it one of the best exclusive games! All I can say GET THE GAME!
