Game is amazing. Great races, cars and soundtack.
HOWEVER....EA launcher ruined the entire experience for me.
Stopped playing it for awhile and after picking it up again it just would not run as it couldn't get pass the EA launcher page.

EA please stop forcing your rubbish launcher app onto us.

Fun game, Good graphics, and far ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ better than NFS Unbound. Period!

I'm a fan of the early 00's NFS games, NFSU2 and MW particularly, and played Hot Pursuit (2010), NFS (2015) and Payback afterwards. I think NFS Heat delivers a familiar experience to the last two games, with some new ideas. If you haven`t played these games before, expect an arcade-y gameplay, focusing in fast paced races, nitro, police chases and drifting around corners. The game world is a sandbox with urban, contryside, industrial and mountain areas. The races are divided in day (in a Forza Horizon-lite style) and night - when most police action happens.

The story is a bit on the short side and it`s as deep as you would expect for a racing game, but there is more content in the form of jumps, speed traps, and collectibles (with rewards for completing them) if you end up liking the game.

The graphics are good, as is the engine/environment sound effects. It`s not as polished as some newer or simulation focused games.

I bought this game during a 90% sale, and I feel you should wait for a similar price. I find it worth buying if you want a no-stress arcade racing game, police chases and modified cars. Nowadays the servers are still populated, and there is cross-plataform multiplayer. And being a EA game, you'll need their launcher.
