[B]Need for Speed: World[/B]
Many of you might heard of the Need for Speed franchise. Well, it's the most popular racing franchise out there, afterall.
It's a series published by EA Games and developed by different companies, such as Criterion Games, BlackBox and others.
But they have a little game called Need for Speed World. It's a Free2Play, online MMO, I guess you could call it that.
Well, once you download and start the game, you have few options. You can play Circuits, Sprints, Team Escapes (where you team up with three other people to escape a police pursuit) and plain simple Police Pursuits.
DRAG MODE IS COMING VERY SOON! Here's a preview:

Does anyone play it?! It's very easy to pick up and start playing. It uses your Origin account, so if you already have some EA Games, you can play this without signing up for anything, just login and play!
My in-game name is strelok1911, feel free to add me!
[QUOTE=RichyZ;37195175]not very good, you can pay2win by buying nitrous and spam it during the race
also more than half of the people who play are dirty racers who just want to ram you so they can be proud of brland[/QUOTE]
You don't need to pay2win. I win Nitrous like every race I complete, so it's not that hard to get.
It's fun to play with friends but that's about it.
Why do every single game turn into MMOs?
[QUOTE=RichyZ;37195535]you don't NEED to, but its a complete upgrade to just have a fuckton of nitrous that you can pay for
and really, most of the people being assholes and ramming you really takes the fun out of racing, unless its burnout[/QUOTE]
Well, EA own both Burnout and NFS. Perhaps they should've used this idea with the Burnout engine, I could of seen way more potential.

They did, it was called Burnout: Paradise. It had awesome multiplayer.
NFS: World is shit, just like every other NFS game after Most Wanted (arguably Carbon was good as well).
Hopefully Most Wanted remake by Criterion will be as good as the original.
I played this for a little while and found it to be quite good - but the players are mostly dicks. So many people feel the need to ram you out of the way, and sometimes there will be a player who has a better car and just takes off and wins, nothing you can do about it. Good in short bursts though.

The game just feels floaty and detached. Even for an arcade game it is just so muted and disinterested that I can't really enjoy it.
Although I do love SHIFT2 quite a lot, but I wouldn't really call it a NFS game.
NFS World is very bad.
Its not exactly Pay2Win because it sorts players into races by car preformance levels and overall level. So a slow car race won't be matched with an ultra speed car.
Plus even if you buy powerups you can only spam them as fast as everyone else because both nitro and ready (resets cooldowns) all have cooldowns. (ready has a very long cooldown time).
But the upgrade system favors those who pay, and almost all customization except for stickers and colors requires money, and EVERYONE rams the shit out of you so you go flying into a wall and land in last. Plus its a grindfest unless you exclusivley play team escape.
Oh and they just copy-pasted the maps from Carbon and Most Wanted. Sure its OK for nostalgia but it just seems really lazy.
Plus EA pulled a MASSIVE dick move by making it at first free to players can only get to level 10 and you had to pay 20 to level up further.
Not even six months later they removed the cap.
But what did they give those who allready payed?
THREE SEVEN DAY RENTALS.
So go play NFS Carbon if you want single player or NFS Most Wanted if you want multiplayer (Most Wanted has lan support).
