Each has its own unique cars, event types and objectives. Both campaigns take place in the same world, but are completely separated from each other. Upon starting, players choose to either be a racer or a cop. There’s narration and cutscenes as it progresses, but they’re really just meant to elicit a mood and do so quite effectively. Need for Speed: Rivals has a story in the sense that there are cars going fast and cops that need to go just as fast to catch them. Developed by Ghost Games, which is kind-of-sort-of Criterion, Need for Speed Rivals remedies that with one of the fastest entries in the series yet. With Most Wanted, however, the team may have gotten a little too close to realistic mechanics at the expense of the high-speed thrills of Hot Pursuit. Injecting elements of their massively successful Burnout series into the franchise, Hot Pursuit and Most Wanted were great entries that brought it back into the spotlight and ensured its viability for the upcoming generation. The series has seen highs ( Underground) and lows ( The Run) in its nineteen year history, but it came into almost total clarity when Criterion Games took the helm. A franchise nearly as old as 3D gaming itself, Need for Speed has been around for four console generations, delivering hours of thrills to varying degrees of success.
