![]() You see, as the new kid on the block, the game begins with you impressing a local street racer who insists that you meet his friends, and before you know it you’re an integral part of the group. It’s probably a bad thing to say about a racing game that perhaps its most memorable and entertaining moments are the full motion videos spread throughout its running time. ![]() Looking to take the series back to what many consider its heyday, Ghost Games’ newest crack at the series, simply called Need For Speed, goes back to the murky night time street racing and car customisation of the Need For Speed: Underground games, but whilst it does successfully capture the spirit of those fondly remembered releases it unfortunately ends up feeling little more than mediocre thanks to its by-the-numbers racing and a handful of unfortunate issues. It was a surprising and also welcome move last year then, for EA to forego the yearly release schedule and give developer Ghost Games one more year with their follow up to 2013’s enjoyable Need For Speed: Rivals. A series that was once beloved by fans, the annualisation of the Need For Speed franchise has resulted in some less than stellar releases over the years, and the varied nature of the games has also left it without a clear identity.
