Online yarışları denemek için girdim güzeldi ama oyunda pek içerik yoktu. Sadece düz birileriyle girdiğin yarışlar.

Este Need for Speed Me encanta lo he metido en abril de 2020 y me gusta como se ve la jugabilidad y veo que tiene potenciadores, Ademas se puede perzonalizar estilos de Carros y Puedes poner pegatinas, neones y llantas de colores que quieras y mas. Este Need for Speed le doy un 10 por que este juego me encanta, me facina y sobre todo, Me encanta los juegos de conduccion.

The good: +Carbon + Most Wanted atmosphere and sufficiently addictable group play. The bad and fugly: -AI rubberband and vehicle paper physics. -Pay 2 win and atrocious cash/RNG loot grindfest. -Limited customization. -The world is soulless: no open world cop chases, no side activities or story mode. -Unoptimized pile of **** (infinite stuttering and FPS drops with upper mid-range PC). -Cheaters and exploiters (like infinite solo pursuit bot generating millions upon millions of CST). -The customer service non-existent.

Все еще непонятно зачем эта игра вообще существовала. Бессмысленная донатная помойка.

Was pretty fun to play with friends if you didn't wanna pay for some better games. Most terrible physics and crashes I have ever seen, but my memories on this game are positive :)

Единственный, но большой плюс игры, это атмосфера благодаря музыке и локации. А так делать почти нечего, графика немного замыленная, сложность минимальная (маленький плюс). Итог: 7.676/10

Even this game was full of cheaters, I still enjoyed it very much, for me, it was the best game I've played from Need for Speed. I've played it for about 3 years and I would've played it more if it hadn't been shutdown.

The most disrespectful game towards the player I have ever personally played. It was a grinding zombie experience. And an intense milking experience from the company towards the player once the drop rate of special in-game parts was reduced. Not much content except for reused cities from previous games. Very little almost non-existent music. Bad meaningless statistics in the cars, overpowered cars with cosmic nitro and many many cheaters probably because many of them felt cheated by EA anyway. 1 point is awarded just for the nitro light effects and feeling of speed in general.

This game had massive potential, but EA's astounding greed ruined this game. Simply if you wanted to be a succeful racer you had to pay real money to get best cars. All good car mods also costed real money. Whole game was just a grinding simulator if you were a free player. Even if you wanted to play for free all the way, in race lobbies you were 9/10 times put against players who have cars bought by real cash that are insanely OP, practicaly a race made for the paying customer to whipe the floor with the free player. Awfuly wasted chance by EA and glad its dead now, also kinda feels good so many people who paid their money for this trash got burnt, served them a lesson.

Since NFS World shut down months ago, I will do a quick summary and why it's an 8. It's NEED FOR SPEED! And the first free MMO. Back in the early stages in 2010-11, there was a level cap. But they removed it and you can advance up to level 60, and it's not easy either. Second is speedboost. That **** was annoying, but the community found a way around it and made IGC rotations where some speedboost cars became IGC for a limited time, so everyone could try them out. The map was huge, combining Rockport and Palmont together. Lots of hackers and cheaters around but punkbuster had that under control. The best part was doing team escapes. That had you do a sprint with 3 others plus angry cops, and you had to work together to get to the finish before you use all the strikes, or busts. Then powerups. Instead of refillable NOS, World introduced single use NOS, plus some other cool things like juggernaut which makes your car a tank for a specific time. All these can be extended by skill mods applied to a car. Finally something called treasure hunt, which you search a part of the map for 15 gems. Completing the hunt everyday gives you rewards (usually skill mods or performance parts) and it gets better by getting day streaks. Sadly that EA shut down this **** had quite alot of potential.

When I learned of this racing MMO game I was wondering how the resolved the latency problem - I mean, racing cars requires very quick and precise reaction. Well guess what - they didn't. The cars are jerky and the cars are jumping all around. Both the player's and the other player's. I selected manual transmission and got some **** hybrid that shifts from the buttons but if I don't shift manually shifts automagically anyway. And my internet connection isn't slow or laggy, I played many other mmos alright. I played it for 5 min and it was just for a good laugh at what a dumb idea it was to make an MMO out of a racing game. In all honesty, the graphics are kind of nice. Oh and $150'000 for a Mitsubishi Eclipse? Really? ;-)

Just to clarify im hitting the 10 cause there is alot of bad reviews where people give zero's for really bad reasons. This game truely is however a solid and could grow into something so much better if EA actually wanted it to. So im playing on the chicane server and have had absolutely no issues what so ever with lag or disconnects that others have been reporting. I also have herd alot about people hacking and cheating yet once again I have not witnessed any of thus first hand so maybe they now have things under control. Im playing on a high end system and with the graphics on max with the high resolution textures the game looks very good for something that is about 4 years old now. Game play is solid, arcade style racing and very fun. Now alot of peeps complain about the free to play model, personally I think its fine, while i would like to see more cars available with IGC there is a good balance with bi weekly rotations for cars to purhase with in game currency. All I can say is try the game for yourself, I have out in about 100 hours over the past 4 weeks and really enjoy it.

This game is great I made a lot of new friends and I feel like it has been a positive experience that has taught me how to drive better in the real life (wear your seatbelt and race only in circuits, have professional technicians see if your car can run in real life), too bad that the original disbanded, but you got a descent administration and I did see people who cheat (the biggest concern of any online game) get disciplined or even banned on occasion, of course people need to report cheaters if they see one. The cars have rotations and you can buy something new the next week if you got enough cash. You can race, evade cops, do a drag race and do a team pursuit. Any mode is fun and you also get achievements from stuff you do (Racing a lot, evading road blocks, collecting specific cars and even using power ups too much), and there are 4 servers with two different regions for Europe and America. All fun if you can take things with a grain of salt and don't get bothered with people who are sometimes rude in chat, simply close the window if it happens.

Wouldn't have installed it if it wasn't free, given the very low quality of games EA has published in the last ten years. **** .Uninstalled after 10 minutes. Free to Fail. Low-quality, poor production value sales gimmick for "boost", and by that i mean you pay real money for any performance. This is utter trash and simply a scam to **** kids.

In the game need for speed world it seems good because it is free, but I played for 30 min and I got bored. What makes this game bad is the fact that it is almost impossible to get cash and you need to spend real money in order to buy a car that is actually nice. This is by far the worst need for speed game ever.

Feel like it has become a part of my life,the world is just like a city,a combination of rockport and palmont,there are some cheaters around,but i never mind them..most of the time its fair **** if people want to blame the game for seeing some people zoom around here and there,blame your internet connection,the game cant sent you everything every second and the game keeps other cars rotating around their exact position and thus you will feel the car moves 1000kph for a second and then **** just because it cant tell you everything in a second,if you have a faster internet connection,blame their connection

OK... I get that there will be some overpowered cars but ALL S/A Class cars are PAID! Then when I try to pay there is no such option for Bulgaria ... they have to rename it to "Need for Speed: World limited***"

How could anybody say this free? You have to pay 100 bucks! Atleast graphics and everything else is good, but boost costs bit too much. Just bad, just bad...

An amazing multiplayer online racing game, this one is a classic. Featuring amazing cars, the classic treasure hunt, and the all time favorite races, the game simply is amazing.

really cool game actually but cheating is rampant, and the servers are becoming ghost towns because of it. EA has done nothing about it for months and clearly doesn't plan on it.

This game is fun and well made with no bugs, but it just gets boring quickly after a few hours, the world just isnt that large to explore, thats my main issue with this game other then that the cars are great, so are the circuts, sprint races, and cop chases, also the customizing. I would recommend this game since it is a good free racing game for anyone interested in them.

the controls, oh gawd, the controls... the unequal bandwidth... oh dear virgin mary, these are the only two things wrong with the game, but they certainly keep it from reaching it's potential, you will play, and just when you need to turn quickly, you crash into the wall, head-first, and if you try and race someone, they will jitter and zoom ahead of you, but it looks dazzling, it can be classed as a tron: legacy-esque game, both in style, and in the fact that... well, it seems rather half-assed, but in every other regard, it is still a great game, certainly miles better than undercover *shudders*

sometimes, the controls are sluggish, but it is still a modern, sci-fiesque, fast-paced blast ****, it upholds the reputation of the series, and it far exceeds some other online games i know of... *cough*QUAKE*cough*

really cool game, they really got the pursuit system right this time, the only time they've done it right since most wanted: carbon and undercover were far too easy, the gameplay is solid, and exploring never gets old

a highly entertaining and satisfying game, it maintains the high standards we've come to expect from the need for speed franchise, it is stylish, fast-paced, and incredibly beautiful...

This is very fun game and can get very addictive. The game still quite glitchy especially on the loading screens. The visual customization is great just like most new need for speed games but the performance customization could use more parts and options. There are a wide variety of cars but you have to pay "Boost' for it. Boost is another in game currency that you have to pay money for. The graphics are good for a free to play game. The world is huge and there are quite a few races. It may not be a racing sim it worth a try if you just want to have some fun racing with your friends for free.

As much as I can appreciate a free 2 play game with decent graphics and customization elements, Need for Speed World is an unorganized, cash-in attempt on the NFS series with pay-2-win in mind as you struggle against people that's several levels above you with superior cars in the very first minutes you join. Stay away from this game.

Need for Speed: World could have been a great game. It has a huge open world consisting of both Rockport and Palmont City. It has quite a selection of cars and they all handle fairly predictably, as you would expect. Unfortunately, this game is the absolute essence of 'Pay to Win', with powerups like Nitrous and the ability to turn the car in front of you into a Traffic Magnet, and the ability to purchase almost every car in the game directly with Microtransactions. Many of the customization options are also only available to those with fat wallets. This turns the game from a fun and competitive racer into a frustrating race to open your wallet so you can win. The game also seems to have a problem with hackers. Overall, if you own any of the earlier Need for Speed titles and two controllers, you will have infinitely more fun than you ever will here. The Pursuit modes are quite entertaining, but largely unchanged apart from the ability to play them in a multiplayer mode. And generally playing them with random people can be as much fun as it can be frustrating. It's unfortunate, it has a lot of potential but the removal of the Drag Racing and Drift Modes in the game means you can only ever race or do pursuit on the same tracks in Most Wanted and Carbon, minus the Mountain tracks. The removal of the Roll-Up races from Free Roam mean that the enormous place you have to drive around in is just a Lobby and much of the multiplayer Races are plagued by people who use as many powerups as humanly possible, hackers or people who just try to smash everyone off the road. They should have taken some hints from Burnout Paradise and went with their own game but instead they just turned a great concept into an undercooked Pay to Winfest. There aren't many online racing games, but try to avoid this one.

Was not overly impressed with this, but hop into it from time to time to see if it's changing/improving. And it is fun in short bursts but not nearly as fun as any of the other Need for Speed titles.

This game isn't free. It's like free demo, you must play money for everything, i dont know gae that is F2P and u need to pay for levels, only WoW has something like NFS:World, in WoW u can play to 20 lvls for free, but WoW is still P2P. Graphics is ugly, and u must pay for everything... I don't recommend.

No spoilers here, nothing to spoil. I downloaded the game a while ago but have been busy playing some others. So I tried to log into the servers about 4-5 days ago. Since I wasn't able to I checked the status, it said: "The servers are up and running" in green with the little green light. Well, it also said, "We are currently experiencing technical difficulties. Thank you for your patience." It's been 4-5 days later and it still says the same thing. Tried to reinstall, did everything all the FAQs and suggestions that were E-MAILED to me AFTER the fact that someone on their live chat told me I'd have to wait to play the game. Well there have been a few posts that people have made so I guess some people have been playing it. I can't even log into the thing. The oddest part of all is that I was told I'd have to wait a couple of hours and try again. I don't really fancy sitting around to find out how horrible it will be in game. They did a promo with Tony's Pizza recently and I realize it may be that promo overloading the servers. However they should have known that might happen. Furthermore the free $5 is really $5 off. The free to play, I have confirmed with many people isn't free past level 10 and the game isn't worth 10 cents. I will never be purchasing any EA game in the future, least of all their most expensive ones. If their customer service is that bad, why should I continue to purchase their games on my consoles either? It just shows them that the consumers are pushovers and that they can take their money and then deny access to the game to these players, hide their posts in the forums and in general, act like immature little children instead of business running adults. Time to grow up and take some responsibility for your screw ups. Sorry guys, that's the lay of the land. Besides you should have some honor! Time for us to take the power back guys, frankly I'm sick of this dodgy crap. Why you ask? Well I tried to resolve it with them and they replied with vague responses instead of simply confirming that there actually is a problem in the game, they just lead me in circles. Do yourself a favor and find a better free to play game.

Now that the game is totally free, you can go to level 50 without paying a cent, which is great, because you unlock cars, decals, map territory as you progress. Too bad sometimes evade and busted meters are unfairly frustrating, A.I. cars are either pros or noobs (i feel that there is a catch-up) and there are some lags. You can't customise controls or fully experience the game with a controller. As a free game. It is great. Ignore Alan250's review.

Its a beautiful game and very entertaining. The police pursuits are always fun and challenging. With new modes, cars and parts shop, this game will only get better. For a cheap price you get a great game that delivers.... with speed!

No. This game isn't free. You need to pay 20 bucks to you reach higher levels. What is annoying in this game is the fact that no one plays the game because is fun or enjoys speed, people play only to earn reputation (works as XP, like in RPG games) that make you unlock stuff. The game doesn't have much cars, circuits, racing modes, personalization, what makes this game even worse. The only thing that makes this game fun is the cop chases. Oh my god, that's so fun.
