The best NFS since Most Wanted & Carbon, and it definitely lives up to the expectations those games left us with in all areas except the story, which was a bit lackluster... but not the worst there has been in a NFS game (much better than NFS 2015 & Payback). The physics are fantastic, feels like a fully refined version of Payback's physics, completely fixing the unpredictableness of Payback, and actually requiring skill to do well in. Drifting is not as easy as you'd expect for an arcade racer, but is rewarding and fun. Sense of speed is finally back, I don't think I've ever felt like I was moving as fast as I have in NFS Heat before. Cops are great and they're brutal, but also pretty fair. If you're quick and have a fast car, ducking through multiple back alleys is a good way to lose them... and they do put up a really good fight. Anyone saying that they're too hard shouldn't be playing a NFS game and needs to go play Forza Horizon (a good game in it's own right) without cops instead. The map is beautiful and fun to drive in with lots of secret places/shortcuts/alternate routes, as well as having billboards to smash (reminds me of Burnout Paradise) and other free roam activities like drift zones, long jumps, and speed traps. Heat feels like a combination of the best parts of Most Wanted, Carbon, and Underground... paired with NFS 2015 and Paybacks excellent customization, with a bit of Burnout Paradise thrown in in terms of free-roam activities. Overall- absolutely recommend the game. Ghost games listened to what the community wanted over the course of NFS 2015 and Payback, and delivered in almost every area this time. Really looking forward to seeing where this takes the NFS series. It's starting to feel like the good old NFS games we played as kids again.
