Fun game

if you like to playing racing games then this is a great game for you because you can run from cops, be a cop and catch racers, join in events like racing, escaping cops, head-to-head racing , and more. I highly recommnd this game.

The best game out yet for the PS4 IMO. The cars looks AMAZING, and sound AMAZING. And the graphics look just like Battlefield 4's graphics because they are based on the same graphics engine, Frostbite 3 Engine.This is one of the prettiest games on the PS4, along with Killzone: Shadow Fall and Infamous: Second Son. This game also runs SUPER smooth even though it's only 30FPS. Trust me, with so many games like Infamous: Second Son that stutter and have horrible texture pop-in, games like NFS: Rivals being this smooth is a HUGE plus.You can spend literally around 20 hours just completing the game as a Cop and a Racer. I think it takes about 8-10 hours for each side. And you'll spend a lot more time than that just busting other players and racing them since the single and multiplayer exist all at the same time.

Need for speed rivalsWhen I 1st received the game I was skeptical, but wanted to give it a try. So it was the 1st racing game I've played in a long time.Some of the things you might like about the game is it's dynamic environment. Due to the size of the map it always feels like it's changing so it has you immersed in the world of Need for Speed. As the racer you're trying to get away from the cops and go head to head with other players in a highly intense race. As the cops you're busting the racers using some of the latest gadgetry and co-op tactics to take down all racers involved.Rather you're playing as the racer or cop the game has spunk and thanks to being able to play either online or even in single player the challenge rating is always changing. However; just because you're the racer doesn't mean that you don't have your own tricks to assist you in outrunning the law. There is a variety of techs you can use to slow down the cops and get away such as: EMP, Turbo, Mines, and even a Jammer. The overall feel for the game is great, and it keeps a desire to play more.But with the Pro's there are also the cons.While the scenery is always changing with the map sadly there is only one map to really play on. So after a while having only a single map it can get pretty stale it makes the game feel rushed out the door, and while there are quite a few techs sometimes it just feels like there aren't enough most are simply upgrades. There is more about the gameplay as well for some reason the drifting feels a bit inorganic the controls can be overly sensitive at times.So to reviewThings you'll like:1.Dynamic changing environments and background.2.Techs for both Cops and Racers.3.Changing Challenge among online and Singe Player gameplay.4.Racing head to head while eluding cops, or busting participating racers.Things you may not like.1.Limited Techs2.Only a single map though large to play on.3.Drifting Control at times feels a bit clunky.But I have to admit it's a great game and I enjoyed it and still continue to play even now. I can very honestly give this game a 4 out of 5. I really do recommend this game. Even if you aren't a racing fan this one title here is well done and give that excitement that you would expect out of a racing game. This is what a Need for Speed game should be. I can't wait to see what else they decide to pull out.

This is easily the most entertaining racing game I have played in a while. I played NFS: Hot Pursuit and loved it. I played NFS: The Run and hated it. This one is my favorite, I am also a fan of the Gran Turismo series but lately this game has been taking up all my gaming time. You can be always online and have other players in your game session to race with or race against. You can also utilize other players to take on Police who are trying to bust you. You unlock your cars as you go through the story, which you can then purchase with points you earn from accomplishing different events(Hot Pursuits, Races, Time Trials). The thing I like the most is the upgrade system. If your favorite car is lacking on certain stats you can spend time putting points towards that cars stats(Durability, strength, top speed, acceleration, etc...) Also you can purchase weapons for your cars to use during your open world journey. There is also a completely different experience when you play as the police, who also have their own set of cars to unlock and upgrade. You will spend plenty of time with this game if you have a taste for fast paced racing!!

I received my PS4 one week ago and in my limited play time I have spent a majority of the time playing this game. For me what is really important when playing a game is not so much about visuals as it is about game play. The visuals in this game won't blow you away but they are nice to watch. As far as the game play is concerned it is really impressive. The action is nonstop and very fluid. This game is akin Burnout Paradise mixed with Need for Speed Hot Pursuit. They have really removed the complexity of some of the simulation racing games and kept this truly as an arcade style game.I know how limited the game selection is for fellow PS4 gamers. And I know how hard it is to keep entertained for the first few months with the limited offerings. Need for Speed Rivals has to be my favorite so far. If you are looking for a game that is simple and just fun to play this is it.
