The only NFS game I like that was released in the last ~6 years is "The Run" and "Hot Pursuit - Remastered". What do they have in common? NO Storyline driven game to waste my time. I think The Run's storyline is present, but it's just snippets in between the next race. I just turn on my gaming system, a few clicks, and I'm racing right away.

I'm really enjoying Unbound. The story isn't getting in the way of the gameplay.

Games are subjective, but I hope someone can find this helpful.

I've personally been a long time fan of the NFS series, with my favorite being NFSMW from 2005.

I haven't really enjoyed any of the "modern" NFS games since the 2015 reboot that was simply titled "Need for Speed".

I thought NFS: Heat was ok, but still mostly did not enjoy it. With all that being said, Unbound is a major improvement. I actually have fun on the game.

The anime/cartoon effects can be disabled on your car if you simply don't like them, so don't let that factor into your decision. But as for the gameplay, it's solid. The car list is solid. The soundtrack is great if you enjoy Hip-Hop music. I will happily say this is the best Need for Speed of the last 4-5 games IMO.

But even if you don't believe me, there is a 10 hour trial of the game available on EA Play. On PC/PS5, it's $5 if you don't have it. On Xbox, it's included if you have Game Pass Ultimate. So just try it for yourself.

From what I've heard from other players this is the worst of the series for many reasons. Will wait until it hits gamepass.

Just wait a year or so it will be a free on PlayStation plus is my guess. My favorite was Need for Speed underground. However, Ridge Racer was such a better game.

Rented the game from gamefly. Not a game I'll play twice. Surprised alot of people don't use gamefly. Beat the game in probably 2 weeks and send it back. Save yourself some money. I'll beat this and god of war in a month for like 23$. Lol saving me like 100$.

Ignore the idiots in this thread.
If you're a fan of the series and find even a slight enjoyment in them, this is the best NFS in a while.
If you've never enjoyed them you won't enjoy it now.

Yea that's the run down on the game.

If you don't know who "Criterion" is, this probably isn't the game for you. Definitely a "for fans only" affair. I can see myself adding it to the collection eventually since Hot Pursuit and Most Wanted are some of my favorite racers ever, along with the Forza Horizon series

Yup I agree. I'll buy it eventually too, but having just platinumed Heat last month I'm still a bit on the burn out of arcade racing games. I will for sure snag it at $30 though in 2023

Why'd you even open this thread to comment some stupid crap if that's how you feel? Go touch some grass.

Maybe this isn't pre-order, but it is pretty close. I'll wait for more info.
