Pro version of Need for Speed - Heat with anime style. A good decision to put same features on previous entry was genius and lazy at the same time. Criterion made it perfect with a little bit touch, i.e day / night cycle and cop chase sequence. There's no official on-road racing on the day, every day and night you're street racer!

A generic story they're putting here, how we're getting back a traitor in our gang and made her out alive from cop. Also Yaz's taking our car and we want it back.

Criterion force players to make our decision right when betting money on some races you good at. For me I am bad at drifting, so I can skip that all the time. You also need to have a decent car for every classes that divided into 5 classes from B to S+. SO you better save your money to max out every classes you want to participate races.

✔ Loading rendered objects much faster than previous entry (in this case I was testing them with SSD for both)
✔ The animations are so good, like teasing rivals or even in cut-scene love it!
✔ Catchy soundtrack easily pump up adrenaline
✔ Some people hate VFX (not me) for dirt and smoulder that come from exhaust. Criterion heard it and be able to turn off
✔ There's Most Wanted 2005 iconic car in side quest
❌ There's still no physics for wall objects that can be hit, only 2 types: destructible or not.
❌ The last race should be more intense and memorable to get our car back. The car should be an icon for NFS - Unbound the Mercedes one (it shows on the cover)
Verdict: 8/10 ❤❤❤❤❤
