The handling is a constant losing battle with the game to get the cars to do what I want instead of the game just taking over and fucking me up.īoth the racer and civilian AI is annoying.

You can clearly see when drifting that the wheels will do their own thing and completely ignore your input, if you tap the handbrake while drifting to help increase your angle the wheels will snap back into the center and then freakout.

Even with assists all turned off the game still tries to take control and veers you into walls, pushes you in a random direction, pulls you out of drifts, prevents you from drifting, or randomly throws you into a drift. Let's start with the handling/physics, it's not good, cars feel unresponsive and heavy, the wheels do not respond fast enough to my input, it takes an age to go from full lock to opposite lock. This is a long post so let's get into it. It seems to me that EA rushed the team at Ghost to get a full AAA game out before they could achieve it and this was the result. While I don't really regret spending my weekend with Need for Speed, I do think it wasn't worth the AAA price tag and I am really disappointed that they couldn't live up to the hype they created. I'd like to preface this by saying I have played this game for over 40 hours, I have finished the story, found all the collectibles and achieved the platinum trophy (Side Note: easy platinum), so I did still get a modicum of enjoyment out of this game because it's a car game and I like cars, but I also found it incredibly frustrating throughout and now that I have finished it I find I feel no real desire to go back to it.
