Still, the bumper issue definitely has me recommending the PS4 version instead of the Xbox One version since that pad has weak parts to it that affect this game. They’re very comfortable and the new d-pad makes going through the Easy Drive menu easier than before, although being able to switch background and text colors would be nice since the white text can be drowned out by the sky or sun during the day. For Rivals, that means you’ll be sent into a panic when you get near a hideout/command center compound because you can be chased down at any time and only have one small part of the entire compound that will actually save you.įortunately, the rest of the controls are perfect and the redone triggers are great for racing games. It reminds me a lot of the original North American Saturn pad, where you had this super-comfy pad and then iffy shoulder buttons – except they weren’t as crucial to that system as they are this one. You have to press them in a very particular way to not harm your fingers, and even when you do, it never quite feels like you’re pressing it enough. While the revamped face buttons, d-pad, and triggers work fine, the new bumpers can be tough to hit in a pinch. Problems arise, at least for the Xbox One version, because of the new controller. Upgrading is a breeze and it’s rewarding to get that multiplier built up and retain it after a few races. It allows you to do more structural upgrades than either game, but the painting options seems ripped from an Underground game – the tribal and flame patterns reek of 2004, and unless you’re still pining for the days of X to the Z pimping your ride, they’ll garner a chuckle when you see them. Neither quite delivered the same arcade thrills as Burnout’s racing did, but this comes a bit closer than them.
The racing feels a lot like Hot Pursuit or Most Wanted, which is a good thing as those were outstanding.

Racing feels stiff at first, but once you upgrade the performance of your vehicle, you’ll be golden. They’re basically just checklists with objectives being given a fancy name, and allow you to gain the same reward for competing types of challenges – so if you prefer hot pursuits to interceptor challenges, you can still get the same new car and won’t be penalized for going about leveling up in a different way. The XP can be used to either upgrade your current car, or swap to a new one obtained by completing speedwall challenges. The only way to save it is to go to either a hideout if you’re a racer or the command station if you’re a cop and save it.
If you crash or get busted, you lose the XP banked.

XP builds up a circular “heat” meter – when a full circle is made, it goes up as does the point multiplier. The XP system is different here than in most games because while you can bank a lot of points, you have to weigh the risk of totaling your car or getting busted versus getting more XP. Perhaps that’s for the best though as one of the easiest ways to gain XP is to take part in head to head challenges while going from point A to B and then racking up some points quickly. Sadly, unlike the Wii U version, you don’t get a fast travel feature. Like Most Wanted, you’ve got a fairly large map to explore and can get a turn-by-turn GPS map to help take you from place to place. You’ve got similar-but-different events that all basically boil down to either busting up races and scoring takedowns on (or at least disabling and outrunning) racers, or beating a clock. Easy Drive is still here and you go through a full campaign as either a racer or a cop – similar to Hot Pursuit. It’s called the AllDrive system, but what it really amounts to is just always being online without needing to press right on the d-pad to access the Easy Drive option for it. The big hook of the game is being able to race online with others at anytime. Normally, there would be some kind of big catch, but there isn’t much of one here.
In theory, this results in one of the best racing experiences you can have, and in execution, it surprisingly winds up that way. Rivals can best be described as something that brings together the open world of Most Wanted’s reboot with the Hot Pursuit reboot’s racing polish and greater sense of focus. Fortunately, it also comes from Criterion and Ghost, who have an outstanding pedigree for crafting high-quaity racing games. Need For Speed Rivals finds itself in the unenviable position of being a between-generation game that needs to be good enough to look next gen, but also not be so advanced that a version of it can’t be released for the 360 and PS3.
