Need for Speed: Rivals is the latest twitch-racer from Electronic Arts, following on from last years Most Wanted. The Need for Speed franchise has been around for twenty years now but much of the noughties saw forgettable entries from various studios until EA tasked their leading racing light - Criterion Games - with reviving the series and taking it back to its roots in 2010. That year saw the release of Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit, a return to the series staples of fast cars, police chases and just stunningly good arcade racing. This year Criterion has handed over to Ghost Games. In-between Hot Pursuit and Most Wanted we had The Run from EA Black Box and whilst it looked as pretty as the games it was bookended by, it didnt match the exhilaration and total enjoyment of Criterions propositions
