Need For Speed World Review

Title: Need for speed world
Genre: MMORG, Racing, Driving
Developers: EA Black box, EA Singapore
Publishers: Electronic Arts
Release: July 27, 2010

Need for speed world is a free online racing taking style of Need for speed most wanted. In to order to level up you need race online against other players around the world or offline. You can also level up by escaping the police without getting caught. As you level up you will unlock cars, more tracks, and performance parts. The game is free roam so you can explore, and the map is the entire Rock port from "need for speed and Carbon city from "need for speed carbon" linking together. Also there is a possibility that they will add Bay view from " need for speed underground 2," Tri-bay city from "need for speed undercover," or Olympic city "from need for speed underground."

When first play this game I feel like I'm playing need for speed most wanted. Back then you have to get the starters pack for 20 dollars "886 pesos" in order to keep playing; because when you reach level 10 you can't progress through the game without buying the starters pack. Today I'm playing it because its now free since September 2. Because it reach one million registered players; after that they remove the starters pack and make the game free and you will level up more rather than being level 10 for free.

The advantages in this game are. The map itself, if you play need for speed most wanted or need for speed carbon. You will be familiar with the roads not only that they add more detail to roads. Another advantage is the controls are similar to need for speed most wanted. Also it has a good choice of cars from tier 1 to 3. The cop chase is still the same like in most wanted.  The customization is not bad as well.

Also this game has its disadvantages. Like the power-ups; I don't know why I just don't like it. For me it doesn't suit the game. Another thing is the variety of cars. I can't blame them because its an online game so we have to wait for the developers to give us more cars. Also the customization in the game isn't enough. I want more vinyls, I want more performance parts, and I want more body kits. Also why can't we choose our own body kits like in need for speed underground. I also want auto sculpt back. What I don't like in this game is the lack of racing events. There is no drift, drag, speed trap, etc. only sprint and circuit; that's it. I also don't like the repair feature just because your car is damage you have to pay for the repairs. Off course the most common problem is lag(not surprising). I wish they should fix it.

Overall it's a good concept but the lack of content in this game doesn't cut it. I say you should try this game; its fun, addicting, and free to play but the problem is the content of the game. May be in a few years this game will get better and better. So I give this game a 7 out of 10.
