Thoughts: As much as I love playing the NFS series, this one feels like a step back however I've only just scratched the surface of this game. I do have high hopes for maybe future updates to add or fix minor issues but overall it's a fun game. This is the first title to be release on next-gen consoles and the visuals do not disappoint at all. The cars feel a little heavy and the handling is not that great, although it might be due to not having the upgrades which can allow me to calibrate the car drivability. Small things I noticed was when trying to drift corners, the car wouldn't hug curves when tapping L2 (overshot the turn most times) and if I used the e-brake, the car would do such an extreme tight turn that I would lose so much top speed and have the AI's catch up or even pass me. Maybe its just me, not adjusting to the new mechanics but I figured I'd bring that up. Also, I love that classic touch that Criterion uses when crashing hard into something but I felt like there were certain instances that my car should not have barrel rolled the way it did, just a bit over dramatic you know? Aside from that, the only real complaint I have is the fact that they took away Online/Offline mode when doing the story missions because I like the option of being able to do the story while playing online with friends at the same time rather than having to choose one or the other. That said, thank you for tuning in and let me know what you think down in the comments below.
