Critic Reviews
- Need for Speed, then, feels like the tutorial for a deeper racer, or the barebones bit you can play while the rest of the game downloads in the background. It’s not only boring, but so bereft of ideas that it represents a series running dangerously low on creative fuel. The hazard lights are blinking.
Ben Griffin · Mar 23, 2016 Reviewed on PCRead full review - When all is said and done, Revelation winds up feeling more like “more Fire Emblem Fates” than its own distinct campaign and is easily the weakest of the three. However, for those looking to spend more time with Fates’ rich cast of characters and explore relationships unavailable in the either Conquest or Birthright, this DLC campaign is one quality encore.
Javy Gwaltney · Mar 09, 2016 Reviewed on PC - Unlike other racing games, there's no matchmaking system to facilitate racing against strangers. There are no event playlists or anything of the sort. Unless you have friends to play with, getting into online races is a joyless and tedious experience. On top of that, you can never pause the game, even when you're in the middle of a single-player event.
Ian Miles Cheong · Dec 03, 2015 Reviewed on PS4Read full review - A slightly disappointing return for EA's racing franchise, Need for Speed doesn't do anything to push things forward. You'd think that a hiatus might have given Ghost Games time to inject a little extra vigour into Need for Speed, but the overall result is falls woefully short of expectations. Still, the racing part remains good, clean fun, which is what really matters.
Richard Walker · Nov 12, 2015 Reviewed on PS4Read full review - This may not be quite the game that many NFS fans were hoping, but that doesn’t mean the game should be discounted. The driving is fun and difficult at higher levels, and the overall experience gets methodically better with the more time devoted to playing it. This game has polarizing written all over it, meaning that there will be a contingency of people who love NFS, and those that will probably hate it, with very few in between.
Robert Kollars · Nov 04, 2015 Reviewed on PS4Read full review - This year’s installment of Need For Speed isn’t the end-all-be-all, but it has proven there are still great things to be offered to the genre. Each car is crafted extremely well both visually and audibly. Engines give strong roars as they power up for quick releases. Tires scream with a certain screech when pulling off the perfect drift. Through the nuts and bolts, getting to the core of the title, it’s all mostly safe and directed in a simple form. It’s a solid base to grow from—few complaints but few things to gush over.
Devin Charles · Nov 04, 2015 Reviewed on XB1Read full review - Need for Speed is not a horrible game, but it is definitely not the amazing ‘reboot’ experience I was looking for. Its biggest detractors are the repetitive gameplay, the graphics engine hanging up or stalling at some very inopportune times, and the ‘less than robust’ online modes.
John Elliott · Nov 03, 2015 Reviewed on XB1Read full review - Need for Speed takes driving into a gorgeous world with a modern edge, but its pesky attitude and strict online-only requirement make you yearn for the good old days.
Ludwig Kietzmann · Nov 03, 2015 Reviewed on XB1Read full review - So if you're looking for a fast-paced, fuel-injected bit of fun with no strings attached, there's really no good reason not to at least rent Need for Speed 2015. In my opinion, it easily beats out juggernauts like Forza for the top spot of racer of the year.
Jason Messer · Nov 03, 2015 Reviewed on PS4, XB1Read full review - Nevertheless, Need for Speed looks and sounds great, excluding the random frame rate hiccup, and there's a ton of fun to be had behind the wheel. Need for Speed floors it in the right direction for the most part. Unfortunately, not everything was right under the hood when this racer left the garage. As we all know, this can cause some major problems when you're trying to peel out.
