The visuals are the usual superb Need for Speed graphics we have become used to, if not better. It became a mix of hearing what the crew were saying over their phones on the TV, listening to the cars being destroyed all around you and hearing what the police were saying on your control.

The best experience was when the police pursuits started and the police radios boomed over the PS4 controller. You now have a radio station playing with a DJ speaking between songs to tell you the latest on the news of Tyler ripping up the streets. The music and sounds are great, with another nod to GTA V. However, I must just add that underbody Neon lights, colour smoke, sound systems and Nos colors are back, making this feel like a small nod to Undergound 2. The garages are pretty much what we've become used to in Need for Speed though, with similar performance, visual and paint upgrades. Switching between three main characters, buying garages to store more cars, and the different areas of the map I could not pass through this review without making that mention. Many of the new features reminded me of GTA V. If you manage to complete the bet, while actually racing and taking down cops, you will get the pool money that was thrown in against you. You can take bets for your race, whether you will be able to drift for 600 metres or stay in first for 60 seconds. Sure, this built up a massive cash flow from re-winning races and getting new shipments of parts, but it got a bit frustrating redoing races for the 5th time. I spent hours racing my Honda S2000 building it to high specs, and when I then got a Mazda I wanted to try out, I had to do it all over again. This new feature has put me off wanting to get new cars. When you get a new car, you basically have to take it through all the old league races, build it up from scratch until you reach the latest mission that has high spec requirements. Each car also has its own performance cards, so you cannot use old cards from one car for another. You have to buy a brand new Honda S2000 and build that specifically for drift. If you wanted to take your Honda S2000 that you built for race and adjust it for drift, you can't.

Tyler will take the race and drag races, Mac will stick to dirt and drift modes, and Jess has the runner or escape artist modes.

Most of this is spent either re-racing races to collect speed cards, the new form of upgrading car parts, and then upgrade your car to the next mission's required specs, or going to the tune-up shop to buy these speed cards.Įach character has a preferred racing mode.

Later though, and through other parts of the game when you take down leagues in either drift, drag, runner, dirt or racer modes, you are free to explore the world, open map icons and do whatever the hell you please. You will switch between Tyler, Mac and Jess without being given the choice. Completing the mission will immediately start the next mission. When you start the games first missions, and many of the other story missions, it plays out like Need for Speed: The Run. It is linear and you are given the cars you drive with. What caught me by surprise, was the weird mix of linear and open world play. You may enjoy the characters, but the plot won't really push you to keep going.
The game is still all about racing, with a story to keep you entertained along the way.
#PAYBACK MISSION GTA 4 LOADING SCREEN MOVIE#
All this in an act towards payback.Īlthough I enjoyed the storyline and the interaction between characters, I felt it was rehashed from the movie and also some previous Need for Speed iterations. Well, in the game, you take down Leagues and Crews to win a spot in a well known racing event called Outlaw's Rush. If you watched the movie, you will recall that the crew reunite to take down the protagonist by attempting to enter a well known racing event called Deleon. This is almost the same start and premise for the movie, Need for Speed. There are many gambling references thrown in, but one thing stands out. Months later, they reunited for a common cause to take down "The House". Without giving too much of the story away, but just enough to make my comparison, something bad happens that splits the crew up and keeps them split apart for some time. And then you meet (and switch to) Jess who is the runner or wheelwoman for the crew. During your first race, you are then introduced (and switched to) Mac, a member of your crew that prefers racing offroad. When you start off, you are introduced to Tyler Morgan, a racer who is very much in it to be the best there is.
