About Game..
Available on PS4 (tested), Xbox One and PC
Reboots are always a risky business. There have been a few really notable ones in the past few year – Tomb Raider and DmC: Devil May Cry for example. But there have also been some that I and thousands of other gamers would have preferred never existed – like SimCity and the numerous Sonic games Sega seems hell bent on rushing to market.
Now it’s time for Need for Speed to get the reboot treatment. It’s a franchise that’s been around for over 20 years, with a release schedule seeing a game arrive annually for almost the whole of that time.
The most recent title, Need for Speed Rivals was financially a success, but it didn’t resonate with long-term fans of the series like myself. Aware of this developer Ghost Games decided to skip its regular annual release strategy and spend two years creating and refining its latest Need for Speed title.
Answering whether the the extended development time has paid off is a bit complicated. On the one hand you’ve got excellent underground night racing with plenty of challenge, but on the other you’ve got a cast of under performing “bros” that become so irritating you’ll wish you were flying solo on this one.
