It doesn’t really add anything of major consequence, or anything all that unique, and what little it does isn’t much at all.įor instance, you have access to unlockable safehouses located across the city, where you can upgrade and customize your rides.
While it is a solid racing game, it’s also a rather basic one.
The above description probably has you thinking, “Okay, so Need For Speed Unbound sounds like every other Need For Speed game.” And that’s the problem. And that includes the local cops, who will try to arrest you unless you can manage to get away. More importantly, your competition in Need For Speed Unbound is, well, competitive. The controls are fluid and intuitive (assuming, like me, you prefer arcade-y racing games over realistic simulations) the tracks are curvy, and with the kind of jumps and silly shortcuts you always find in these kinds of games while every car comes with a nitro tank as standard equipment. Which is why you engage in a series of illegal races, both multi-lap and point-to-point, as well as other automotive activities (speed traps), in hopes of improving your rep, and earning the cash needed to buy better cars, better parts for the cars you already own, and your way into better races.Īt its core, Need For Speed Unbound is a perfectly serviceable open world street racing game. Need For Speed Unbound‘s story mode, has you trying to make a name for yourself in some city’s local street racing scene. While it’s not terrible or anything, this open world, arcade-ish illegal street racing game is just kind of…basic. I hate to say it - and hate that it’s making me say it - but Need For Speed Unbound ( Xbox Series X / S, PlayStation 5, PC) gave me some serious “so what” vibes.
