Hustle by day and risk it all at night in Need for Speed Heat, a white-knuckle street racer, where the lines of the law fade as the sun starts to set. By day, Palm City hosts the Speedhunter Showdown, a sanctioned competition where you earn Bank to customize and upgrade your high-performance cars. At night, ramp up the intensity in illicit street races that build your reputation, getting you access to bigger races and better parts. But stay ready – cops are waiting and not all of them play fair

I played it twice, once playing through the campaign and playing all the events with friends a year after that, and this is simply a really well-made arcade racing game. The cars handle nicely, and their variety and downloadable liveries made driving them with friends especially fun! (if beating supercars with a VolksWagen Beetle is your type of fun). The campaign structure, split between relaxed days and thrilling nights filled by police, is engaging. Don't skip on this, even though the soundtrack (especially during the day sections) is pretty mid for my taste.
