![]() The city itself slowly becomes yours too. Tricking out a ride is just as essential to the experience, with new parts unlocked as you level up and often generously priced unlike the tight-fisted Payback, you're encouraged to experiment and within a handful of hours will likely have a small selection of tastefully mutated cars to call your own. ![]() There's a decent enough suite of options from the off, though you're able to head online and browse other builds for your own use, or take to the streets of Palm City to collect new decals to use in your own designs. There's sadly no cockpit cam, though - a small shame seeing how that was so fundamental to the original Need for Speed.Ĭompared to more recent efforts, customisation feels pumped up here. There are plenty of options to customise the experience - you can shift the drifting mechanic to be implemented by a touch of the brake, for example, while on-the-fly tuning allows you to tweak dynamics as you drive. Want to change the timbre of your exhaust note as you modify your ride? Of course you do, and Need for Speed Heat is more than happy to oblige. ![]() The bullshit that's here is mostly the bullshit that matters. You get to pick your own avatar, from a fairly generous list, dress them as you see fit (a small nod, perhaps, to the dear departed Test Drive Unlimited) and then skip through all the cutscenes as you get down to business. There's a story here, and it's as painful as ever - you're part of a crew that's up against the corrupt police force of Heat's Palm City, essentially - but it's very much in the background and entirely ignorable. Need for Speed Heat dials back the bullshit of the 2015 reboot and 2017's risible Payback. It's about how you take a stock Nissan 180SX - one of the starter cars in Need for Speed Heat - and embellish it with tricked-out ECUs and turbochargers while lavishing its exterior with vinyls and bulging fenders until it's all utterly yours. It's the love story between you and your car, a love that blossoms over a series of street races, point-to-point drives and escapades with the local law enforcement.
