dear ghost games:

forget multiplayers and DLCs.

5.9/10. Too much payback, not enough need for speed

[mikeinikeplayz]

Who’s here cause they just got away with murder and as you were driving away u had to ditch the car and lite it on fire so u go to moms place but seems like she moved so there’s no place to stay other than a public place or the woods and since u would get caught so u go into the woods and u know your slowly dying but just before u decide to go back 2 years to see this garbage game review

Comparing this game to NFS 2015 :
+Better physics
+More cars
+More customization
+Bigger map
+Progression way better in this game (Subjective)
+Pause Button
+Better and longer story (Subjective)
+Off-Road
+Day-Night cycle
+"Disable Break To Drift"

-Graphics look worse
-No multiplayer freeroam
-No cops in freeroam
-The spin to win thing (I guess this is where the name "Fortune Valley" came from)
-Car classes (Subjective)

2015's Need for Speed looked AMAZING!

[jaeffstarkmann]

I honestly gotta say that there‘s so much left out in this review, like all of multiplayer, the derelict cars, how the customization is way better, how ghost games stated they‘re gonna bring back online free roam and how they will also bring back free roam chases... the better driving isnt even praised, the fact that the performance upgraded are now way more unique... what the hell guys how can you just listen to this and believe it all the way.. and the visual unlocks is honestly down to personal preference, srsly, it‘s nice not to have to just level up to unlock everything.. again also just opinion but i feel like they just went overboard with the criticism.. there even is tuning shops TO BUY THE UPGRADES WITH INGAME CASH AND U KNOW WHAT U GET

[jadenhudson]

What I don’t understand is the fact that everyone harped on ghost about it being to easy to get everything in 2015. Now that there’s a grind for your stuff, everybody flips their lid and act like it’s a problem. The multiplayer may not be up to par yet, but other than that they listened to the fans and gave them exactly what they wanted. It’s sad that people still bash the developers and the game despite all of that

anyone else here because of nfs heat reveal and wanted to see what the other games are like? i havent touched a nfs since carbon

[diceroman]

If I listened to IGN before downloading games, I'd miss out on alot of fun games.

[ishuuec]

i dont think we'll get anything close to the nfs underground 1, 2, most wanted and carbon...ever
