Need for Speed

I have the Xbox One X version.

Hopefully you will have been taken in by the 4K hype by now and have a television with 4K Ultra HD.

You will not be disappointed.

Aside from the revolutionary leap in computer graphics this game takes place in the illegal street racing scene of Los Angeles.

You start with so many credits to buy your first car... I bought the 2000 Honda Civic Type R. The game always takes place at night. Although you do get a bit of a dawn, it is about ten seconds before it is nightfall again.

I guess a Volvo and a classic Volkswagen isn't such an ideal choice of a selectioo of cars and the purple Lamborghini? There are just things such as these in Need For Speed which say awkward.

The story in Need For Speed is integrated in to the online play. It is a good idea to complete the story mode (alongside a female mechanic) to get started and unlock parts and earn credits to buy them.

The cut scenes are real time, not animated. I skipped through all of them you don't need to watch and listen to them to know what to do in the game.

You will unlock achievements as you play. By the time you are finished with most of what you can do, you will have certainly unlocked most of them.

So go and pick it up or download off the Microsoft store (if you can). One of the best, although not so elaborate, car racing games out there.

Well done, 10/10.
