Did you know Need For Speed has been around since 1994? It's also the most successful racing video game series spanning across consoles and generations, but since Underground the series started suffering from a slow puncture. Fans criticised the subsequent releases of distancing themselves from what made the series great and publisher EA seemed to have lost their way. Power-sliding in comes Criterion, the British developer behind the highly successful and incredibly fun Burnout series who totally revamped the game and made it a nitro fuelled good time again! Criterion however publicly declared they were done with racing games and EA had to find another developer who had the behemoth task of besting Criterion's efforts and that developer is Ghost Games and luckily for us and EA 80% of the staff is made up of former Criterion staff so is Rivals in good hands?

Like the latest model in a line of vehicles, Need For Speed rolls out every year with the same shiny sportscars and blistering pace as cops battle racers to own the roads.

Keep your hands at 10 and 2. [Xbox One Update: I finally got my hands on Need For Speed Rivals for Microsoft's next-gen hardware. I don't have a very large display, so I honestly can't tell the difference between PS4 and Xbox One versions, other than a bunch of friends on one platform and a bunch of friends on another platform. Both controllers feel comfortable in my hands and the triggers have a nice sense of push back. If I had to pick one I'd say I like the firm resistance in the Dualshock 4 for the gas and breaks, but Xbox One's has a pretty wide swing as well. Pick one and stick with it though. The dialog has grown insufferable over the hours, but when you get online with a couple of chatty friends, the hours will fly by as you take turns fulfilling mission cards together. Need For Speed Rivals is arguably the best launch game to have on either next-gen console, even if the PC port has left hardware enthusiasts with a flat tire.] [Current-Gen Update: Need For Speed: Rivals released on PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and PC earlier this week, so I took the PS3 version for a spin to see how it matched up to the experience I had on PS4. Almost all of Rivals is translated perfectly to current-generation machines. The PS3 version runs well, looks good, and provides the same exciting gameplay in All Drive for up to six players. Without next-gen graphics, being limited to six players hurts Rivals a bit more, but if you have friends on either Xbox 360 or PS3 you’ll still waste hours of time lapping around Redview County and crashing into each other for speed points. For fans of Need For Speed interested in the PC version of Rivals, know that the title is locked to 30 frames per second and unlocking the frame rate results in some wonky behavior. Leave the frame rate alone and it’ll run as well as it does on consoles, but settings junkies will probably be disappointed. While I haven’t played the PC version personally, there are some very angry PC gamers out there. Please keep it locked to GameRevolution as we'll have an update on the Xbox One version of Rivals in the coming days.] Brush your teeth before bed. Eat your vegetables. Don’t start forest fires. Our lives have met capacity when it comes to rules. Law and order. You’re either the cat or the mouse, the bird or the worm, the cop or the racer. That makes it sound like racers are prey, but I think you could make the argument for either side. The mouse might outrun the cat, the worm might know of a hidden path, and the racer might lay an EMP mine to stonewall the cops.
