Review: Need for Speed - Rivals (PS4)

 

Need for Speed: Most Wanted was one of my favourite games last year and perhaps the best racing game I have played in recent memory. Criterion Games, the developers behind Most Wanted don't return this year as development of Rivals was handed over to Ghost Games. The only similarities between Most Wanted and Rivals is that both games take place in open world environments and feature the Autolog system.

Feature: Need for Speed - Germany

I left for Leipzig on Friday afternoon (September 28th). Prior to this trip I had never been to Europe other than a 6 hour stop in Frankfurt on the way to India thirteen years ago. Prior to the trip I asked my co-workers who had been to Germany about the city, but no one had ever been to Leipzig. There definitely was some mystery as to what lay ahead in the city where I would be spending time with Need for Speed: Most Wanted.

Day 1
9:00AM. All the press gathered in the hotel lobby to wait for the shuttle to pick us up and drive to the day's events.
