Need For Speed PayBack (PS4)

Reviews for this game are middling (generally 3/5) but I really think people are missing the point and missing out on some great fun. It's a very well balanced arcade style open world racing game not a sim. And it is hysterical! The Drifting is sublime and the world, beautiful and rich. The introduction of other styles of racing makes for additional variety with 'off-road' working particularly well. Back in my 30's I used to love NFS Porsche (unleashed) 2000 and this reminds me a lot of that. The car control is really well balanced in a fun rather than totally realistic way. And the game is paced well delivering just the right amount of money you need to progress through the stable of cars without loosing interest. My 10 year old loves it. There is a great range of cars including some great classics for the Dads (The 1973 911 RSR is ludicrously fast!) and modern super-cars for the kids. It also now supports FF steering wheels and pedals - although we have tried both and the standard PS4 controls are fine. Oh! and my son just loves finding the wrecked and abandoned cars and doing them up. The only thing I would add is a split screen mode so my son and I could race head to head!

Whilst I don't normally write reviews, I feel NFS Payback deserves a bit more credit that it's getting from the negative reviews. Yes, people are entitled to their opinion but i don't think it's the worst game ever.I personally think it's a pretty good game and the more I play, the more I'm growing to love it.Pros:GraphicsDriving (better handling than NFS 2015, in my opinion)Story (a little cheesy and cliche but fun)Cars and customisationHuge worldPros:No online free roam!!Could get repetitive...It's kind of easy (is that a con? Lol)All in all I think it's great... although if EA don't sort out the online roaming with friends, I will be selling it!EDIT: Ive been reading reviews about grinding for cash. If you press "options" on your PS4 controller and scroll to "shipments", you regularly get these drops which include vanity items (horns, neons etc), tokens (to use to roll for speed cards) and cash (normally between 10,000 and 25,000). You can also trade in the vanity items for cash. Hope that helps some of you as by the time I find it... I had 5 new shipments and made about 60,000 in one go!EDIT 2:I revisited the game yesterday and if anyone else was unaware... multiplayer online free roam is BACK after the update!! New cars and objectives too. I have been binge playing for the past 24 hours and I’m back in love. If you waited to buy it... your wait is over!

I was sceptical about buying this game after last year's NFS but since I've been playing it, its started to bring back some of the old need for speed enjoyment. These are the following things I thought of the game:PROS:- The driving physics are hugely impressive from grip to drift, without the twitchiness from previous.- The graphics have majorly improved- Has by far the biggest and most open map in NFS.- The cars look and sound simply sublime.- Story is great- Multiplayer is enjoyable and challenging- Interconnection mode and switching between the 3 drivers is brilliantCONS:- There are no free roam cops because the cops in the missions are so fun but hard at the same time.- There's no online free roam- From previous NFS games, its always been impossible to win numerous races apart from always starting last, although you buy a car to match your competitors or tuning up a bit i found it incredibly frustrating.- I wish the characters could get in or out of their respective car and roam (tho that's never been the case in any need for speed game but its a thought)- The purchase is very frustrating i.e difficult to upgrade cars you want- Certain mode's like Drag is challenging and stressful- Split Screen would be niceOverall, while I think this NFS is good like Most Wanted, Run, it's not the best. Certain aspects of it could be better but it's a great start.

Fantastic game graphics are awesome and a sheer pleasure to play the game and missions

I don't know why there are so many negative reviews.It's a fun game once you have passed the first two types of races the game really opens up.I prefer this to get sport as it's less serious. Customisation is as good as ever. The performance upgrades can be a bit annoying but not game breaking.You earn speed cards every race you win. You can sell them for money or trade in for tokens.Graphics and sound is good driving is fairly easy once you have put some practice in. Worth a bit and no need to use actual money.Plus you get shipments which give you a nice boost.

This game is absolute class, amazing story line backed up by an amazing map and visuals, love the whole derelicts and how they brought some old school underground/most wanted in whilst making it completely new and different, it’s only downfall I would say would be the handling can be a little too unresponsive and then too over responsive but that’s nothing an update can’t fix which I’m sure they will bring out in the next month like project cars did, do not listen to the people hating on this game they know nothing and are well too picky, this is an amazing game

Game reviews are always difficult as they are a very personal thing so please take the below as my personal thoughts. Hopefully it may be of use to some.

I really enjoyed this game. Is it the best nfs game? Possibly not but it certainly has its moments and I found it very enjoyable to play. It's certainly a step in the right direction after the 2015 reboot of the nfs franchise.The story takes a little while to get going but once it got going it chugs along nicely in my opinion and switching between 3 characters is a nice touch as you get 3 different perspectives on the story of the game. I would recommend it if you like racing games

Not sure what happened between Need for Speed underground in the game cube era and the horrendous garbage this games content includes. Not to mention that the vehicle upgrade system is governed by random speed cards like a dealers hand at a poker game rather than using a system that has an actual shop that you pay to buy upgraded parts. Basically the entire game is a misguided mess.

Good product

Tiene aspecto de muy usado, está rayado. No lo he probado, ya os diré si funciona. No está en condiciones de regalar a nadie. Podía avisar que no es nuevo. Mala compra.
