    A modern Need for Speed done right. Big applause for EA. Far better than their last Need for Speed.

    Graphics is your usual 2015-ish game, but still looks good. Customization is just awesome, you can swap engines, you can mix and match your performance part of your car, anything, you name it.

    The only problem is.. their Frostbite engine. Seriously, I can run any latest game with 60 fps easily but this game runs at average 40 fps. There is stutter and minor freeze but nothing game breaking, more stable than NFS Payback. But still, the performance could be really, really better than this. The cops.. ah.. some ppl says that the cops is really savage, and hard to escape, while some of them enjoys being criminal. I'm on neutral on this tho. All in all, is this a good racing games? Yes. Is this a good Need for Speed game? Hell yeah.    … Expand

    Another Need For Speed game without wheel support and cockpit view. Seriously, I don't sit on the roof of my car when I drive, EA! It plays well with a controller, but why would you bother?

You see, they've played it safe this time, there's no crazy gimmick, no good writing, no good acting, it's Need For Speed. Car customisation looks good, the visual customisation is easy to understand and use, the tunning of cars however is lacklustre and just a number game - something gives you a 0.2% more horsepower, just install it. The biggest problem is in a variety of races. There's less here to do than in games from well over a decade ago making Need For Speed Heat boring after but a handful of races. Cars are given to you relatively fast and they look amazing, but this game is way, way too easy. Not to mention that most racing games these days look impressive and while Frostbite can look really, really good... even indie projects look better these days. Among good looking games, this one is somewhere below the first 5 that come to your mind. The good thing is the damage model, you can actually damage a car you're driving, but it has no impact on handling or speed, so... pointless.

    I'm sorry to say, but it's not worth the full price. Wait for a price drop.    … Expand

    I've played various NFS titles over the past 15 years, and NFS Heat is sadly not a good one. I'd go so far and would not put it into my top 5. (1. Underground 2, 2. Most Wanted (2005), 3. Hot Pursuit (2010), 4. Carbon & 5. Hot Pursuit II)

    Not talking about story, but it is really short (11h) and very generic and bad. Even for NFS.

(1. Underground 2, 2. Most Wanted (2005), 3. Hot Pursuit (2010), 4. Carbon & 5. Hot Pursuit II)

    Not talking about story, but it is really short (11h) and very generic and bad. Even for NFS.

    NFS Heat has a wide selection of cars, ranging from nice Japanese tuners to American muscle cars, over to Italian exotics, as well as pick up trucks and old timers.
    But i have to say, there are many many useless cars, and cars that in my opinions don't belong into such a game, which you don't even get to play throughout the story, because it is so short. You can of course get these cars and play with them after the Story is over, but thats something i don't really find interesting.

    Some of these cars are good and offer quite a few optical tuning parts, such as bumpers, spoilers, hoods, rims and so on. Unfortunately there aren't many parts, and these that are there, don't always look good.

    Comparing it to NFS Underground 2 (U2), Heat lacks a lot when it comes to spoilers, body kits and such. While in U2 you had sometimes up to like 20-30 different spoilers for your car, in Heat you can be lucky if you have 8. Whom of which don't really look that good.
    Most body parts in Heat are realistic ones, from real manufactures, which is nice to see, but sadly every car looks the same due to that. For example, there are very few rear spoilers in Heat, that are low profile, compared to U2, where you had a huge list to pick from for your car. Also most parts look / are the same for every car in the game, you can be lucky if a certain car has different ones.

    Overall the customization is lacking a lot of things and is way behind U2 and Most Wanted.
    Things that are missing, which i like to see:

    Custom HUD (Speedometer), more body parts, especially carbon parts (Spoilers made out of carbon, hoods, roof spoilers, more custom mirrors, window tints, neon lights, different exhausts, more and better looking vinyls / stickers and a few more things.

    Performance tuning is good, you can bring your car really up to speed, and the options are way beyond what NFS U2 was capable of, but it still lacks some stuff that U2 had. For example Setups, better NOS and some smaller, not so important things. Engine swaps are a nice addition though.

    The map is kinda big, but while playing the Story, you won't see much of it, since you are basically only in the south or west of the map. You go to the north near the end of the Story, but the west is really lacking.
    It's an okayish map, but i hugely prefer Bayview (U2) over it. One of the reasons for that is, that games these days try to bring everything into one map... City, Forests, Off roads, mountains and so on. It's not even that well implemented here, some things just feel so much out of place. I prefer a city like map, or a map like Rockport from Most Wanted (2005).

    Talking about the tracks etc. they are okay, but nothing special. Kinda look and feel the same.
    They don't even really offer shortcuts like they did in older titles. And when there are shortcuts, some of them slow you down, because they are off road, and you car is unable to go over 90mph when taking a 20m shortcut, unless you are driving an off road car. In most cases you will loose more time than you gain.

    There are different race classes, but you can beat the game with only one class easily. Kind of a missed opportunity, since you get off road cars, drift cars etc. but you don't have that many races for them. You only need to do like 3 drift races for the Story to continue. I remember in U2 you actually had to do the SUV class to continue the Story, and you had a few of them in each part of the town. Same goes for the drift races in U2. But what i really missed was something like the Underground Racing League, which were good races, and you always had to do these. You can't compare them to the "Day" (normal) races in Heat at all.

    Overall the races, tracks etc. felt generic in Heat, you had more variety and options in U2.

    The technical part of the game is actually pretty bad. The racer AI is either so bad that you lead a race by over 1 mile, and lap some cars, or one single driver is driving like a god and leads you by 300m and you can't catch up. Really, you can't.

    Escaping the police is sometimes so easy you'd think you stole a toddler his candy, and sometimes you think you are getting beat up in prison. You drive a Corvette with 220 mph? Too bad. That Dodge Charger, which is 100m behind you is launching his turbo and catches up to you in 5 seconds and overtakes you with 250 mph.

    Crashing or damaging the cops is broken. Sometimes you take 30% of his life, sometimes you ram him with 200 mph and he takes no damage. Also lacks things that you can destroy, which then destroys the cops. (Think of Most Wanted and the donut shops etc.)

    Also annoying bugs.    … Expand

    NFS Heat is a somewhat more modern version of NFS Undercover. It is open-world, with various collectibles and activities like drifts, jumps and speedtraps that you'd expect from a standard open-world game nowadays. It's also got a story mode, which is bog-standard and nothing special.

It is open-world, with various collectibles and activities like drifts, jumps and speedtraps that you'd expect from a standard open-world game nowadays. It's also got a story mode, which is bog-standard and nothing special. There's also a decent choice of cars in terms of variety (for a Need for Speed game anyway), with a good customisation system. The driving mechanic is centred on a 2-dimensional scale: On-Road vs Off-Road and Drift vs Race. Upgrade parts allow you to tailor any car to be anywhere on this graph. That's about as complex as it gets, which for an arcade racer is fine, but if you play serious racing games the handling is a complete joke; though it's a nice change I suppose.

    The game is basically structured as an RPG, where to upgrade your car with the best parts and get higher-tier cars, you need to level up and gain "Rep"; the currency earned from night-time driving. Cash is best earned during daytime races, where there are no police to worry about. Whilst this is fine in theory, in practice cash is almost useless, since it's much easier to earn than rep, especially early on. The game is severely imbalanced because early on it's much harder at night as you don't have fast cars but the police do, and it's very easy to get your Heat level up to a point where it's impossible to escape without using glitches. Later on once you've maxed your car, it becomes trivial. Unfortunately, the police chases are the worst aspect in this game; the AI is horrible and it's mostly rubber-banding, and I don't recall a single time when a spike strip hit me. It's just inconsistent and random, which takes away a huge aspect of what an NFS game should be like. This is very far from being 2005's Most Wanted.

    Another huge problem is that races are not restricted by performance tier; the top tier is 400+ and bottom is 100. But nothing stops you from entering a 120 event with a 380 performance level, for example. This basically means newcomers who choose to do events against other players instead of the AI are severely disadvantaged; this is more a game of grind rather than skill. They really ought to have placed restrictions on events.

    The game is also poorly optimised. It is by far the most demanding racing game I've played, and also one of the worst looking. The car models and especially characters lack the level of detail you'd expect from a modern game, especially one that's so demanding, and there really isn't anything spectacular about the graphics; it's all a bit of an acid trip at night with lots of colour but not very high quality.

    Something else that's inexcusable is the fact that you can't change the controls when playing with a controller: forget rebinds, there aren't even presets! And although there is an option to play with manual gearbox, the shift up and down buttons conflict with interactions, so it's a pointless option. Clearly this game was rushed, judging also by the number of glitches which remain many months after launch.

    There is only one redeeming feature of this game, which is why it's not getting a lower rating: the cross-platform play. I started playing this game after that update (and precisely for that reason), and it's something that I hope future NFS games (and hopefully other racing games) incorporate.

    In conclusion, NFS Heat is built on a solid blueprint, but executed poorly. It was a rushed game and it could be a very good NFS game with a few tweaks, but when you compound together all of the major issues, it's difficult to recommend.    … Expand

You gotta admit that this Game is fully playable offline - not all Games nowadays allow that what's kinda sad. The only thing that really bugs me and annoys me every time are the fccking cops - they keep up with you regardless of what car you are driving also they spawn randomly infront or behind you. They are just meant to be exhausting for no obvious reason. Not sure who on EU's side came up with that stupid idea.

    If you didn't play the last couple NFS Games after Most Wanted 2012 you'll be pretty well off with this one. Im actually enjoying it as long as the cops don't cheat.    … Expand

Lots of options to tweak handling from different degrees of grip, drift, off-road, and on-road capability. Traffic challenge can be 50/50 at higher speeds with many crashes being unavoidable but other times leading to satisfying dodges. Career progression feels pretty shallow with a mediocre story and characters as well as having to grind high sums of money through the same races. Story characters repeatedly call you saying the same lines of dialogue in relation to where you are in the story. Even after everything story related is completed, they still call and pester you with repeated dialogue (hopefully will be addressed in a future patch), so I would turn off speech in the settings at that point The map is 90% open with some restrictions on where you can go, leading to disrupting black loading screens to reset your car. Map would be great if it was twice its size but is reasonably decorated with trees and fences to crash through (most of the time) and several buildings and props to liven up the atmosphere. The map is filled with several speed traps, jumps, and drift challenges to keep you busy, as well as many hidden collectibles for unlocking more visual customization. Physics are surprisingly good with often amusing crashes and thrilling airtime through bumpy hills and mountain descents. Graphics are very good but not outstanding for 2019 standards. Car and rain reflections + detail are stunning and lighting can look pretty damn good at times. Clean draw distances and shadows add to its immersion as well. Aside from poor texture streaming at times, the game looks great in motion. Nighttime is where the graphics and police AI shine the most. As the heat level goes up, cops become increasingly aggressive and harder to avoid, leading to some fun chases. Level progression to buy better cars and performance upgrades is done at night through racing and gambling with higher heat levels for faster rep (or experience). To me, it felt like leveling up went too fast. More variety in rep building with increased rep requirement for leveling would've made this a great system instead of a good one. Lastly i'll mention the audio. Engine sounds (also customizable), car scrapes, destruction, and even the "whoosh" passing by another car, are designed well and make it enjoyable to explore the world. Soundtrack is very hit or miss. Daytime and nighttime have different track lists and can get old fast but there are a few standouts. I recommend turning off the music after 5-10 hours just to feel the mood the game is shooting for.
    First and foremost, this is a driving game, and it does that extremely well. Several things hold it back from being consistently entertaining, but any arcade racing fan will seriously appreciate what they've accomplished here.    … Expand

    Худшая часть, в которую я играл из серии NFS, спустя 2 часа я удалил игру.

    Плюсы:
    Большое кол-во машин
    Красивая графика ночью (именно)
    Управление лучше чем в предыдущих частях.
    Саундтрек ночью более менее.
    Красивый дизайн UI.
    Звуки двигателя

    На этом собственно всё.

    Минусы
    Скучные однообразные гонки, которые спустся несколько заездов полностью надоедают. Не видел режима драга или каких-то других как это было в NFS Underground 2.
    Графика днем это просто ад, постоянно прогружаются модели и внезапно появляются перед тобой.
    Деревья сделаны из кортона, они никак не останавливают игрока.
    Сама карта однообразна за пределами города, нету чего-то уникального.
    При смене детали в тюнинге видно как прорисовывается модель, выглядит ужасно каждый раз это видеть
    Ужасный саундтрек в дневных гонках, она больше подходит для пляжа, но никак не для игры в гонку.
    Сам город маленький, можно проехать за пару минут, делать там нечего.
    Сюжет никакой, нету какой-то глобальной цели у игрока как это было в NFS Most Wanted.
    UI не дружелюбен к пользователю, не сразу всё поймешь как куда нажимать, в предыдущих играх было лучше.
    Погони от полиции это самый большой провал, я пробовал уйти от полиции, делал разные резкие повороты в подворотни и т.д, но меня все равно смогли поймать,
    нету никаких препятствий как это было в NFS Most Wanted в виде разрушающихся конструкций, там были самые настоящие погони.

    Под конец стало так скучно, что я решил просто удалить игру.

    (Opinion in english)
    The worst part that I ever played in the NFS series, after 2 hours I deleted the game.

    Pros:
    A large number of cars
    Beautiful graphics at night (only)
    Handling is better than in the previous games (2015, Payback).
    Soundtrack at night more is good.
    Beautiful UI design.
    Engine sounds.

    That’s all.

    Minuses
    Boring monotonous races that go down several races are completely annoying. I did not see the races mode like drag racing or other as it was in NFS Underground 2.
    Graphics during the day is just hell, models are constantly being loaded and suddenly appear in front of you.
    The trees (palms) are made of corton, they do not stop the player.
    The map itself is monotonous outside the city, there is nothing unique.
    When changine parts in tuning, you can see how the model is drawn, it looks awful to see it every time
    A terrible soundtrack in the daytime races, it is more suitable for the beach, but not for the game of racing.
    The city itself is small, you can drive in a couple of minutes, there is nothing to do there.
    There is no plot, there is no global goal for the player as it was in NFS Most Wanted. UI is not user friendly, you won’t immediately understand how to click where, in previous games it was better. Chasing from the police is the biggest failure, I tried to get away from the police, made various sharp turns in the gates, etc., but they still managed to catch me, there are no obstacles as it was in NFS Most Wanted in the form of collapsing structures, there were real chases. In the end it got so boring that I decided to just delete the game.    … Expand

Su acción se divide en dos modalidades principales: día y noche. Durante el día tenemos carreras y demás cuyo resultado es darnos dinero con el que comprar coches y piezas. Por la noche tenemos carreras y otros eventos, con la posibilidad de que aparezca la policía, que nos proporcionan reputación, que permite desbloquear nuevos coches, piezas y eventos. Añade a eso la existencia de diversas pruebas en el mapa (saltos de longitud, radares de velocidad, etc.) y una buena cantidad de coleccionables, así como las misiones de trama que son únicas. El resultado es un juego que está bien de contenido aunque no es inmenso, pero que tiene un problema en que favorece demasiado el hacer cosas controladas, y como no hay límite al coche que puedes llevar a cada evento y ves el nivel de los coches oponentes, es extremadamente fácil dedicarse a farmear carreras que no tienen ningún reto.

    Gráficamente el juego está bien, aunque no es la vanguardia más puntera. El sonido cumple también bastante bien, aunque a mi personalmente no me gusta su banda sonora. Y, al menos en mi experiencia, no he tenido ningún bug, aunque si que es cierto que los tiempos de carga del juego son relativamente altos.

    Por todo ello, es un juego de carreras que está bien, aunque no resulte increíblemente apasionante. Un 6.    … Expand

    5.5/10 - Average game.
    (after 28 hours of playing & completing the game)

    A typical corporate product. Everyone is ugly, uninteresting and trying to be forcefully cool. Very arcade, average driving model. Poor plot

    This franchise have to make a serious change in everything. The competence is hitting hard and this game is not at the level of other racing/arcade games. If you are looking a good need for speed with an air of underground like the ps2 ones, this is not one. Not recommended.

    The Story is Filler. The Game itself halfway optimized for Pc but has good Visuals, the Tuning works fine and the City looks nice but doesent really feel big and alive.

    NFS Heat shows a similar problem to me like NFS Payback: the story is no good.
    The NFS Franchise has still a lot of potential - arcade racing is fine - but a better story with serious RPG elements is required.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Играл я без UNITΞ.
    Физика.
    В принципе хорошая. Не симулятор конечно, в shift 2 и prostreet мне нравилось больше. Дрифт как по мне слишком лёгким получился. Даже за самые короткие заезды я получаю по 100-350к очков (состязания не в счёт ибо есть состязания где и 15к получать это целое событие). Остальное неплохое. 6,5/10
    Сюжет.
    Такое себе. Вся лажа в сюжете происходит только по тому, что Ана придумывает хуйню, а гг молча, как болванчик, ей поддакивает и за ней следует. Если была бы возможность выбора в миссиях сюжет, как по мне был бы лучше. Закончился сюжет, как по мне странно. Тип не понятно, что нам дала эта Лига. Я считаю, что в сюжете что-то получила только Торрес. Она скинула Мёрсера и получила звание, а тима гг так и осталась ни с чем, что с Мёрсером, что с Торрес. 6/10
    Графика.
    Хорошая но местами мне не нравиться цветовая гамма. 7/10
    Автопарк и тюнинг
    Тюнинг я считаю лучшим среди последних нфс (начиная с The Run). По кол-во машин не Forza Horizon 4 конечно, но их достаточно. 8,5/10
    Карта.
    Верх и низ карты хорошие, но цент можно было вырезать игра бы ничего не потеряла бы или сделать центр просто плоским, без гор, чтобы можно было разогнать машину на максимум. 7/10
    Музыка.
    Не шедевр, но некоторые треки заслуживают внимания. 7,5/10    … Expand

    Lots of side-activities, barebones story and music that’s very unsuitable for driving – Heat is basically Payback without some of the latter’s shortcomings. [Issue#242, p.40]

    It’s a festival of good and interesting ideas that were drowned in boring grind, features borrowed from Forza Horizon, and reggaeton. [01/2020, p.60]

    Although the story makes no impression, Palm City feels lifeless and the police are sometimes frustratingly powerful, there is a lot of fun to be gained from this game, which offers more than many of the previous parts.
