Okay, now THIS is peak modern Need For Speed. The cutscenes, the car selection, the side missions - all of it SCREAMS peak. And the best part? You can grind in 2 ways: daytime for quick cash, or nighttime (which is where the fun begins). Only downside is the main story being on the lackluster side, but oh well.

It's what I like to call "fun bad". The cons first, and oh boy.... The missions feel too grindy, the intro is super slow, and there's no Ferrari F40 to throw off a ramp. The fun part? Watching Silver Rock PD try and fail spectacularly to contain you. I wouldn't recommend... unless you're into fun bad games.

This was my GO-TO show as a kid, and even today it still fascinates me.

Well... it was interesting to see what would happen if a popular video game series like Mirror's Edge met the open world. And I liked it. However, some missions are too difficult.

Awesome game! Very easy to pick up and just annihilate enemies!

Five stars for a number of reasons. First, the grappling hook. You can actually do a plethora of stuff with it, like flying cars, boats, cows, etc., redefining what "creative explosions" mean (I actually racked up a Tsar Bomba-type non-nuclear explosion), and literally pulling helicopters from the sky! I typically end my enemies creatively, such as leaving them stranded dead in midair. Also, the grapple hook can be used to clear wreckage from the road, so that NPCs can safely pass through. Second, the advancement. I feel like other games were missing strike ops missions, which is what JC4 has. Squad reserves are also a nice touch, as, once you have enough squads, you can advance the frontlines. Oh, and speaking of frontlines, the border of a region is a warzone, which I love. Finally, biomes and weather. The northeast is a desert with a sandstorm, the northwest is a lightning-infested jungle, the south is South America's Tornado Alley, and in the center is a snow-capped mountain range. I feel like those biomes make for some... rather interesting tactics.

Step-father, 26, and I can't stop loving it! #ForgetBlackOps4
