I have never left a review for a game in my whole life and had to after seeing numerous comments about this game stating this game was to hard or the cops are annoying
I play on the highest difficulty in this game I come out first 8/10 if not 2nd or third
The AI when transitioning from a b tier to a or a to a+ obviously gets increasingly difficult but whenever I would transition I would be sure to knock out the best driver from the start to better my odds at winning
Cops do knock out a lot of drivers I’ve been in races where getting out of 2nd place was impossible due to a bad mess up or missing a checkpoint and a big raptor truck rams the ai ahead of me or the ai hits a npc which is really satisfying
Cons
Music variety-
The only really big big issues in this game are the music which after a couple of hours of playing you notice it’s the same song over and over again not much variation
Same Ai in tiers -
You play the same Ai over and over again but get new cars to play against after a new tier wish it was a bigger ai pool in tiers
Same maps -
This con kinda depends you do play the same map again and again depending on the race location but this could be seen as a pro depending if you struggle on certain maps you could obviously get better over time
Pros
Customization- I actually loved the customization in this game even let my wife design/ make a car for me to drive a lot of variety from trucks range rovers to sports cars
Picking the low tier car after losing the initial vehicle that you drive is satisfying to build up after each day/night
Strategy- be sure to keep a b tier car when starting out in NFS unbound feel like people makes this mistake when playing and don’t have enough money at the end of the week for the big races I didn’t have enough money on a week due to overspending on customization on vehicles lol just be sure to have a B tier for b tier races also be sure to hit these races first because you may get stuck in high heat with a low tier car after the race
Targeting faster cars first from the start will help you win more races at the start of tiers as well do whatever it takes to get the dub
Due whatever it takes to benefit you
Story/Animation- the story and animation is not for everybody a lot of people don’t like anime styles or cheesy story lines but i quite enjoyed after day 3 or 4
The beginning of the game didn’t come off good for me I almost gagged at some of the dialogue and cringed BUT after a couple days you start to enjoy the small talk and Rydells father type relationship i found myself enjoying the game more but give it more time after starting out
Cops- I mean again not everyone agrees with this but I enjoyed running from the cops with 50k in my pocket made me feel pressured to do risky plays and getting out situations on the edge of my sit
Again just play right against the right vehicles
Interceptors- hit from the side against a wall or npc they will instantly die
Raptor trucks -be sure to constantly take turns don’t let them build up speed and gain momentum on you …you will regret it
Helicopters - take care of the vehicle on you before time is up for reinforcements the helicopters will eventually run out of gas or hide under a gas station/tunnel and it will go away
Tier 1 and undercover are pretty easy just outmaneuver and take a new road or a jump
BE SURE to utilize roadblocks for cop chases there’s always enough room to squeeze between roadblocks or spike trips
Spike trips - work against cops and slow them down
Roadblocks - you can often lose 2 to 3 cops after going through one
