[ Xbox One Update : I finally got my hands on Need For Speed Rivals for Microsoft's next-gen hardware. I don't have a very large display, so I honestly can't tell the difference between PS4 and Xbox One versions, other than a bunch of friends on one platform and a bunch of friends on another...

Great sense of speed; Wide open road; open world; Lots of NPC racers and cops; All Drive seamlessly blends single and multiplayer; Great visuals on next-gen; Interconnected experience; Need For Speed Network

All Drive seamlessly blends single and multiplayer; Great visuals on next-gen

"I forgot how much fun arcade racers can be."

There are two different set paths in Need For Speed Rivals. As the racer, you are a placed as a street racer named Zephyr. You start off by posting a video of your car outrunning cops and a number of racers also begin posting their own similar videos.

GAME LOOKS BEAUTIFUL; AllDrive Works Brilliantly; Two Separate Careers

Slightly Repetitive

Need for Speed Rivals is a must have game for the PS4, especially if you love your racers

Happy I got it, amazing game best of need for speed!

New Gamer Nation has already reviewed Need For Speed: Rivals, and you can read that review here . This review supplemental will focus on the differences between the PS4 version and the PS3 version. Overall, there really is no huge difference between the two versions, gameplay-wise.

Native 1080p; Looks Beautiful

FPS locked at 30; No Difference from the PS3

NFS rivals is a really enjoyable game with the best of today's (and tomorrow's) super cars. Cars are all customisable and upgradable which gives you the drive to play it more to beat your rivals. The game feels like a sexual to NFS Most Wanted, but improves on a lot of the flaws in that game.

brill game; my son loves it; graphics amazing; fast delivery esp near xmas

I like the graphics but I don't like the fact that it won't allow you to change the controls on the remote. For wxame I like using the up/down buttons instead if the joy stick.

Challenging; Easy to learn; Fun To Play; Good Audio; Graphics

Poor/No Multiplayer Mode

Need For Speed Rivals challenges your reaction times, satisfies exploration desires, and increases thrill tolerances in an amazing open-world racing game, the twentieth in the series from Electronic Arts.

deep customization; amazing 1080p graphics; immediate availability of entire map/several cars; freedom/exploration elements of open world gameplay; exciting thrills with risk-versus-reward stakes; single/multiplayer integration; weather changes; cop/racer switching abilities

Lose SP points when host leaves and ends game session; odd AI behavior; no true pause in the gameplay when hitting the share button on PS4 controller
