Need for Speed Unbound

Great racing game but got bored because of repetitive.

First thing, I would like to mention that I'm a big fan of need for speed franchise for long time and my review maybe bias but I will talk about my honest review of the game.

Unbound is almost same as heat but different visual design as the game developer is Criterion Games handled it again. The game visual design is more to cartoon graffiti style than the realism visual like their previous games. I actually love how they are trying new things in racing games genre, Racing games nowadays are almost the same and never really change over past decade. But Criterion Games brave enough to try new style of visual design in racing games than other competition. The game also brings back a lot of old cars from previous NFS installment like Mitsubishi Eclipse GSX 1998 from NFS Underground and more. They also introduced different cars that never really seen in most racing games as well like Ford Mustang Foxbody, Crown Victoria and more. The customization of the NFS games always never disappointed as they introduced new one as bumper remover which really portray how real street racing cars works. But this is all the good things I found in game, but there are some bad about this game which player really disliked it.

First thing they disliked is how Unbound didn't promise their fans to bring the toggle off the smoke effects of the cars. It is disappointing to some fans who wanted to enjoy the game in realistic way. Secondly, the game is very repetitive compared to Heat. The game progression is longer than Heat but it will get boring as some of the racing tracks in the city often used many times for the player's progression. The story is mild and predictable than Heat. You can feel the cringe as some part of the cutscenes uses old generation joke sterotypes as "Hey Bro, Sup bro" in weird way. Cops in Unbound are annoying as hell. They are not hard to counter but they are annoying as they spawn near to your location as you already escaped the cop chase. They just randomly spawn and most of the time I spent in this game are being chases by the cops. Heat cop systems are fast and challenging, but I rather have that one than in Unbound that always stalked my surrounding often.

And that my review of the game, I give 8/10 and I do hope Criterion improve their games more and expected more new game changing style games like Unbound.
