But they definitely make up one of the most enticing features of this game. You get no cockpit view in this Need for Speed, and it’s always nighttime (more on that in a second), so after a while, the graphics won’t enthrall you as much. In motion, things start to break down, and with all the water and splash effects and windshield damage and whatnot, some parts of the background begin to look blurry.

The trees themselves didn’t look too impressive, but their reflections dazzled. In a number of scenes, I stopped to watch the reflection of trees moving in water. While this game doesn’t devote the lavish, overwhelmingly loving attention to car models that Forza does, the combination of car and background frequently stuns - or at least pieces of it do. I would have loved to have a text chat at least on PC, so it could feel like a racing mini mmo.Image Credit: Heather Newman What you’ll likeĪll those screenshots and video you’ve seen of Need for Speed so far? They’re real. sadly), you can free roam online, meet other players, but you can't interact with them because there's no chat, so it kinda kills the point of that. The online feeling super dead because of a lack of chat, and it's like that for all NFS games (and many other games actually. the difficulty being wayyy too easy in single player, even the supposed 'high difficulty' dlc challenges are super easy, you can sometimes stop and wait 30 seconds before the other cars catch up with you. I didn't think the game was bad, the gameplay and customization were great, the biggest problems in my opinion were: I would say it even looks better than the latest games, but the game takes place at night, with rain, puddles and all so that really helps setting up the atmosphere and playing with the lighting to get a good result, so the comparison wouldn't be really fair, but the game still looks crazy anyway.

This game looked amazing, and still does.
