![]() Once you figure that method out, winning races becomes a brainless exercise, and thus routine and disengaging. NFS Heat gameplay almost railroads you into simply pinning the car towards a corner at full speed, and stabbing the handbrake to spectacularly (and laughably) slide around the corner. Meanwhile the middle ground between grip and drift is just varying shades of dynamic disappointment. You can tune your car’s handling to be as drifty as possible, but that just results in a car that understeers relentlessly until the back steps out. You really have to forget everything you know about realistic braking points and apexes.Īnd it’s not like embracing the drift mode works well either. Players like us who are usually enjoy more realistic and ‘simulator’-like racing games, will struggle when first entering Palm City. You'll quickly cotton on that running the risk of big, potentially car-destroying police chases is worth it purely because it fast-tracks your progress massively.ĭay and Night mode feed into each other well, and produce a cohesive and stimulating experience that truly does deliver the element of “risk” which the game emphasises. Chases get progressively crazier the higher up your heat level gets, but the payoff there is that your heat level is also REP multiplier – survive the night with a heat level of four, and you’re quadrupled your takings. At night Cops will pursue you if your ‘heat’ level rises above zero, which it does as soon as you finish a race. It’s a setback that can really curb your progress, especially in the early stages of the game.īut Police chases are once again incentivised in a way that evokes the magic of another fan-favourite, NFS: Most Wanted of 2005. The risk element of night mode really delivers a tangible element of consequence, tension and excitement, as not making it back to your garage safely sees you lose most of the REP accumulated for that evening, as well as a fairly significant decrease in BANK.
