In the old days, when referring to the Need For Speed series, gamers often immediately associated with an easy-to-play, dusty, free racing game with a plot that was no less than too fast and too dangerous. But after reaching the top in the Most Wanted version, this game lost its direction and then gradually lost itself. But will everything change in the Need for Speed Unbound version?
I came to Need for Speed Unbound only for two main reasons, the promise to bring the series back to its roots and the name Unbound is somewhat similar to the Underground part that I love so much. And as a result, I have received many positive signs of the series. In this part we will go to Lakeshore City where will host a super big underworld racing with rewards not only money but also fame. But once you stick to the above two things, nothing is simple, everything gradually becomes more difficult when you not only show your skills, but also have to show a lot of action scenes. The supervisor of this city all for the purpose of bringing in huge amounts of money to try and start a business with a close friend. When I first entered the game world, the first thing that caught my eyes was the image, when I knew that the game would use the Cartoon style as the main theme, I was extremely worried about how the game would show them, but after 3 hours of experience. I’m pretty satisfied with the experience. There are a lot of outside gamers who criticize the game’s bad graphics, colorful, …. I can understand that because I am also playing two other racing games, Forza Horizon 5 and GT 7 if only in terms of comparison. The game graphics are not outstanding, even quite bad, but the way the effects are shown, the character models move, or the fact that you can customize these effects makes me feel like a new person. interesting, even thought they were quite “cool” even at times I thought I was the main character in a comic series, not a racing game. The sound has also played a big role in enhancing my experience, this is probably because the guest of the game rapper A$AP Rocky is also a speed player, so when his songs play makes me feel even more excited. Besides the music if you are a true car fan, the game also allows you to customize the sound that the car emits, which makes the friend who plays with me spit out a bunch of knowledge about the pot, the machine, ….. And what makes me keep playing this game is the control mechanism, don’t misunderstand that because the game shows extremely realistic car control that I love. Instead, Need for Speed Unbound offers a more entertaining racing experience, rather than trying to mix both entertainment and simulation as before (I absolutely hate this method because they make me feel like a handlebar). , my steering wheel is damaged), the feeling of steering in the game is now much smoother even when moving at high speed, this leads to easier drift phases combined with the same style of map. New paintings create unforgettable moments for us. The vehicle mode in this section, I find the game has kept at a pretty good level, although it doesn’t have too much depth, but it still provides a lot of options for you to freely express your personality.
But just because Need for Speed Unbound is on the right track doesn’t mean this is a perfect game. The first is in terms of visuals and representation even though moving in the same frame rate but if you compare this version with other versions (Heat is an example) you will have the feeling that you are moving much slower this partly does not show the power of the steeds you are appealing. The city in the game is also a step backwards when the whole map design is somewhat monotonous, without accents, making it feel like moving back and forth between mission locations is a boring process, everything is bad. worse when the game doesn’t give me the ability to fast travel. The number of tracks is quite small, after only about 3 hours of racing, I started to see the roads repeat a lot, maybe the manufacturer should design more blocks. One thing that makes me extremely confused is why the producer split what you get in the singles and online parts in two? why do i have to race twice just to get the same car model and use it for 2 different modes? This is really time consuming. Really Need for Speed Unbound seems like a right move for the whole brand, although it still needs a lot of improvement, but basically this game is quite worth playing, if you can, wait until the year-end promotion. Please drop a copy for yourself to play while waiting for new developments.
