NFS Rivals
Release Date: November 11, 2013
An arcade racing game belonging to the long-standing and very popular Need for Speed series. The title was developed by Swedish-British studio Ghost Games (former EA Gothenburg), aided by ex-employees of Criterion Games. Players can become either drivers taking part in illegal street races or police force trying to apprehend them. As you progress in the game you unlock new cars and useful technologies.
Need for Speed Rivals for PC, PS4 and etc. is another installment of a well-known racing series published by Electronic Arts. The players can pick one side, i.e. racers often violating speed limits or police units with super cars to chase reckless drivers.
Choose the racing career and avoid chase and score points that enable purchasing new and better cars, as well as modifications improving their appearance and performance. If you are caught by the police or you completely destroy the vehicle, you lose your newly gained points. Become a police officer and cooperate with other players to catch “speed kings” and earning a higher rank, i.e. access to new models of police cars.
The common element of both careers is acquisition of various technologies useful while escaping or catching the speeders. List of available technologies includes firing EMP charges, calling police helicopters, stingers or supercharged engines guaranteeing sudden increase of power.
One of the most important components of the new version is All Drive module. Players can switch between single and network mode without losing progress in the campaign. This mode connects offline and online mode which is the core mechanics in Need for Speed Rivals for PC, PS4 and etc..
The game runs on well-known Frostbite 3 engine used in other productions published by Electronic Arts and provides exceptionally detailed and realistic environment. You race in Redview County packed with cities, highways, forests, deserts, and even mountain areas. Player can explore the game world freely, finding special locations where certain actions may be triggered (e.g. speed cameras enabling you to break speed records). The cars are presented in a very detailed manner. It is worth noticing that Need for Speed Rivals for PC, PS4 and etc. includes again Ferrari cars, e.g. F12 Berlinetta.

Game Ratings for Need for Speed Rivals Video Game.
VideoGamer: 7 / 10 by Brett Phipps
Excellent driving mechanics and visuals are sadly hindered by too many major issues.
Polygon: 8.5 / 10 by Philip Kollar
It's not the most stable racer, but Need for Speed Rivals puts spectacular ideas to great use
Hardcore Gamer: 4.5 / 5 by Steve Hannley
While Shadow Fall may be best representation of the PS4's visuals, Need for Speed Rivals is the best representation of its power. It's blisteringly fast, not batting an eye at speeds over two-hundred miles per hour for a sustained period of time. Cars look realistic, environments are highly-detailed and the dynamic HUDs and interface are the best the series has seen. It's raw, visceral, intense and boasts a ton of replay value thanks to over one hundred events and seamless online multiplayer. Need for Speed Rivals proves how impressive a PS4 racing game can be by offering a fully realized product that blows past conceptions of what a launch title can offer.
