Critic Reviews
Need for Speed Rivals Review
There's a fantastic game hiding inside of Need for Speed Rivals, but there aren't enough systems in place to draw that greatness out where it belongs.
60%Need for Speed Rivals Review
Fast, furious, and fun. NFS: Rivals blends Hot Pursuit and Most Wanted to great effect.
80%Need for Speed: Rivals Review
You certainly won’t find an enemy in Need for Speed: Rivals – even if it does have some infuriating issues that put a dent in its otherwise immaculate exterior. The clever competitive dynamic at the core of the open world excursion augments the experience with a white-knuckle tension which ensures that outrunning your opponents, either online or offline, is entertaining at all times. However, performance sputters and progression impeding connectivity problems scrape a layer of polish off the overall package. This is agonisingly close to being at the front of the pack, and is the best arcade racer on the PS4 by default, but its missteps mean that it’s a millisecond away from a podium place.
