Reviews

It’s best to think of Need for Speed: Rivals as a thrill ride. Get on, scream, plead to go faster, and it will. It has some of the best car chases around, and they’ve never looked so chaotically beautiful as they do on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. It’s best to think of Need for Speed: Rivals as a thrill ride.

Absolutely awesome game, online and off. Some gliches hinder the experience but the graphics and gameplay more than makeup for it. Reminds me of Burnout 3 but for next gen! There is no better feeling than rolling around as a cop and ruining racers(other online players) of their their multipliers. Truely captures the rival aspect of the cop/racer drama.

 

Need for Speed: Rivals is a massive playground that sports many races and chases, The game has a few flaws, but overall it’s a thrilling next-gen arcade-style racer.
