New Need For Speed is actually a good game
After renting the game I can actually say it is very good. Some of the last additions of the game have really not been very good at all. Most previous Need For Speed games have been pretty poor with only a couple of them being a any good.
The creators have actually scrapped all previous ideas for the titles and made the game into a proper, realistic racing experience which has actually got a chance to complete with the upcoming 360 exclusive, Forza 3.
The game itself is long lasting indeed, with hours needed to be spent on it to gain access to cars and to finish all of the races. The online modes are also going to take you a lot of time.
This game isn’t about new cars but more about the custom made models from the likes of Audi, Ford and every other car maker you can think of.
Need for Speed in terms of fun does actually seem a lot better than Forza but having only played the demo of Forza it might be a bit too early to tell. When it comes to thinking about Forza the graphics are a lot better and they have a bigger selection of cars.
This year EA have actually put all of their focus into the driver, although the cars still look brilliant. Everything in the game is supposed to make you feel like the driver, any crash you make will turn the screen blurry and even go black and white.
Really it is up to you, both games have demo’s available on the Xbox Live Marketplace so decide for yourself!
