Horrible game.

They stripped everything.

I would pay 15 euros for a game like this.

50 is way to much.

Classes have no sense whatsoever. You always need to do the highest class race that gives us the most amount of money because if not, you just raise your pursuit level for nothing.

When you give NOS, everyone gives NOS to their cars..... EVERYONE. Even cops. This is ridiculous.
This game can be voted the most failed game of the year. I haven't seen anything positive in this game, EA Games should think twice before a release like this and before they destroy a legend like this. They could at least make an option for disabled animations, most of us don't agree to play games with cartoons and we were expecting something more realistic, but EA Games has become such a disappointment to most of us.
  • Full Animation
  • Same story like previous game from the series
  • Fake sounds
I dont know the Cop system is just so bad, no fun at all. the cops are everywhere cant escape. i'm in a chase for like 2 hours now and can't continue with the story. it's so boring. what a sh*t game. Heat is way better
The game itself is no different than Heat. Sure We can have grip builds now but it doesn't even come close to other racing games. I will start with the main points:

- Story: I have the feeling when they decided to start this story mode, they took a cliche story of betrayal and gave a little to no surprise twist to make it interesting. The characters are really bland, even your "rivals" which doesn't even feel they are actually your rivals but a bunch of friend who decided to race each other. Another downside is the tone of each character. Bland, cringe and sometimes very childish. That does not restrict only to the characters but for the police as well. They way the game deceits how cops behave during the day and night is stupid. During the day they behave like normal cops usually do when giving comms. And then during the night they sound like a bunch of teenagers trying to go after the candy and see who wins. Like, hello? How am I supposed to feel like I am being chased by an actual cop if they behave like teens? Huge let down. The story did not surprise me at all or gave me the feeling like i wanted to replay the game like previous games. The person who betrays you behaves super toxic and gaslights you but apparently just because she is your friend your character decides is totally alright to forgive her because... idk...

- Driving:

This is where I get mixed feelings. One it is particually satisfactory to go back into NFS and run blasting through traffic and go crazy. But when it comes to drifting it is a huge let down. I say that because the way your car loses so much power and momentum while drifting is disgusting. It does not feel like you are drifting but that you swing your car to the side and its dragging a 2ton anchor behind you. It also feels like a Russian roulette, sometimes it works nicely and other doesn't. What about rally races? None. So tell me NFS, why in the hell there is an option for off road tires and suspension if we barely have any races off road?

- World: The map is nice and well done but the problem is that I barely know sometimes where I am driving, it feels like some areas are repetitive, thinking that I am on north of the map but apparently im on the west because world feels very similar. It is an interesting map but i feel that is much smaller than it shows.

- Cars: Many customization (really?) not really, sometimes you feel that some cars have more customization than others and that's totally true. What about the new effects? Well thats really up to you, I personally have no problem with it but Id wish there was an option to turn it off.

- Online: Welcome to Burnout. Where people might race you or kill you. Have fun or not.

- Graphics: Good graphics, the world looks beautiful and the cars too. I have experienced some porting issues, like roads textures not loading properly or even the road 100m away from me constantly loading new textures is very discomforting and unpleasant to the eyes, im not saying that because I have a budget PC. No, I have a 3070Ti and Ryzen 9 5900x. Some other thing is that I personally hate is chromatic aberration and you cannot disable this option in the game, it is very annoying having the feeling you are watching a 3D film in the cinema without the glasses. Cmon EA, stop forcing sh!t on us, if you dont fix it you know the modders will.

- Soundtrack: Turn that off and listen to your own playlist, trust me, its bad.

Overall i evaluate this game a 4/10. it becomes very boring and limiting regarding races. Also very pricey. Many people say this NFS is the best in the last decade but its like comparing horseshit to bullshit.
  • Fresh design
  • Customizations
  • Fun (sometimes)
  • Short
  • Lazy written story
  • Too repetitive
Good graphic,music and gamplay it need internet in the sngleplayer but just for the cloud it's a good racing game with a lot of fun,achivements and secrets.

Caracthers as comics aspect is really cool and the voicelines sometimes are so funny.
  • Good car mecanic
  • Good coop gameplay with friends
  • Nice and funny interaction while your'e chased down
  • Need to balance it yourself
  • You need friends
  • Can be hard in high levels of police alert

A high-octane racing game that is sure to get your adrenaline pumping. The graphics and sound are top notch, creating an immersive and exciting experience. The game has a variety of game modes and tracks to keep you entertained for hours. The game also features a wide selection of cars, from classic muscle cars to modern hyper cars. The controls are responsive and intuitive, making it easy to get into and enjoy. The online multiplayer is also fun and challenging, allowing you to race against friends or strangers from around the world. Overall, Need For Speed Unbound is an excellent game that is sure to provide hours of fun and exciting racing action. Highly recommended!
The game is the worst nfs game I played and I played them all.

Really bad driving, details, story is so boring and shallow, the c haracters are dumb and useless.

Also no difference between NORMAL and RELAXED mode the AI is going to stomp you if you dont know what you are doing.

I really regret buying this BAD, game with BAD story, BAD details, BAD characters, BAD driving details.
  • none
  • bad game
  • bad story
  • shallow characters
This is the best game in the series after Most wanted. The price is super, thanks to your store!
  • Interesting
  • Graphics is good
  • Beautiful world
Being honest i cant talk about the game couse i cant play it.... 15€ in a game that once i double click to play it takes 10 min to initiate and then it crash or if you are lucky you can play 5 min like me and then crash again.

And the best part is i bought it for steam and if you dont have an EA account you cant play ( and even if you do have it, it crash anyway ).

DONT BUY EA GAMES THEY DONT WORK AND EA DOESNT CARE.
  • None
  • None
  • None
  • Crash if 5 min
  • Takes 10 min to initiate
  • After crashing 10 times i contact EA and they didnt care
the game is awful , its probably the worst need for speed that i have every in my entire life played. i don't know where to start first with complaining. avoid buying this even if its for 2 euros. save yourselves money

really good game
Worked perfectly, But at first my parents thought it is a scam, with such cheap prices.
  • cheap
  • easy
  • Parents may think it is a scam
The game is quite impressive, though slightly inferior to Heat primarily because of its weird and quirky crash cameras and overall game feel. However, its distinct style aligns perfectly with the game's essence. I'd suggest giving it a try if you're willing to risk it for the biscuit.
  • Great Handling for Grip
  • Great Graphics
  • Pretty fun pvp mode
  • Terrible Handling for Drift
  • Purposefully tries to flip your car if you hit something like side of a wall at high speed.
  • Story, I guess (I enjoyed it, but most won't)

  • Best game ever!!!!
completely useless game, no different from previous NFS. the best version of Most Wanted (first) and then it was a tragedy. The combination of cartoonish graphics and realism can only be thought of by an idiot
  • gameplay
  • story
  • graphical efects
The game is good, Putting aside the little flashy effects, it's got a unique look and feel, give it a go grab it on special and create your own opinion the game is what it is, stop judging just enjoy the game tahts why we play them :)
  • Unique
  • Decent Graphics

  • Bit Pricy
  • Need Beefy PC
  • Special effects
i like this new car racing game very much,i bought it for christmas,on christmas sale,this need for speed unbound will be good,except the smoke on cars,i even donˇt like it on trailer,soo,will see....
  • new cars
  • smoke graphic
Dont buy it. It will cause you headace. i just lost my save prograss for the secound time now. 26 Hours of Gameplay, out of the window. If u do not like that keep a 100 yard distance to this. Its not worth the price, and you will regret it. I really just want my money back tbh
  • Beautyfull Graphics... Thats it
  • Not working
  • Loss of Game progress
  • I do not like a game, i have to Start over in 20 times.
if you care about your sanity don't buy this game, it's frustrating to play.
one hundred+ cars and graphics awesome Best nfs in the modern nfs .Don't compare with the before 2013 need for speeds.One NFS period is down when released the Movie(2014) And dont forget the criterion games only 1 year to make this game because BF 2042 . 9/10
  • 20 hour long story,With funny referencers
  • awesome customization
  • Challenging
  • Soundtrack
Absolutely no effort in level design, everywhere is flat and apparently the same surface, everything you hit is made of styrofoam. The cartoons is like SHTTT topping on a bland pizza. They don't need to make the game look better, just make it play better.
This game is going in the right direction - they listened and added grip handling which was much needed. The progression is also very well laid out. It looks like they focused more on gameplay than story. The story is kinda wonky but enjoyable in the end.
  • Grip handling
  • Night time is sometimes way too dark
worst game to date. they have in no way captured the nfs game. the graphics are lousy and impossible to look at, the story is boring, the cars have become space cars and there is really nothing good to say about the game.
  • nothing
  • nothing
  • and nothing
  • worst grafic
  • the history sucks
  • there a nothing nfs over it
At the beginning you feel like there isnt much choice for cars in the game but the further you get the more becomes available. Its different from the previous nfs franchise. With ofcourse some stuff from Ghosts developer. Its a game that starts pushing me the wrong way. But now im getting into it more and wanting to learn to drift. Drifting is a tad different then before. Also the story the way it plays. You get several days the time for the big event on the wekend. Wich is an interisting thing for me. Its definitely a game for people who are curious and want to learn new stuff. After a while it gets more easy to handle the cartoon characters. But i dont mind it that much. Its just weird in this realistic world. Atleast the voice acting feels food. Although the cars.... the shape of them in the garage when viewing bodykits gives me super indy arcade racer feel.... but its super fun the game.
  • Interesting
  • Challenging
  • Handling
  • Cartoon
  • Difficulty level makes almost no difference
how the f**k can EA be happy with this sh*t, its just copy/past from NFS Heat with another map on it, the only thing that has bin workt on is the anime and even that looks f**k-up, dont buy it, you wil be done in the frist 5 min of the game, the cars dont llok real and the handeling is sh*t.
