It really is good to see Need for Speed try something new for the series and the racing genre. The focus on a more open progression system and the desire to upgrade and modify a car or two as opposed to the "collect them all" mentality really helps to distinguish the game from others. The presentation, though lacking in areas, gives a great impression, and the racing remains intense. Having said that, the always online feature seems unnecessary since the game doesn't bother to use it to its full extent, and the drawbacks outweigh the benefits. It's a good game but not necessarily a stronger one when compared to prior titles, especially if the stuttering on the Xbox One isn't addressed. For that reason, race fans may want to hold off on this title to see if things get smoothed out on this platform.
