For what it’s worth, Need for Speed (2015) is what the Underground games presented, offering an open, perma-dark map, a heavy focus on customisation and a constant threat from those pesky police all with a current-gen coat of polish. Don’t let that excite you though, Need for Speed (2015) isn’t exactly waving the flag for innovative driving mechanics, gameplay or offering something new and never seen before.

EA clearly didn’t want to label Need for Speed (2015) as Most Wanted 2, a sequel to The Run or Underground 3, and instead opted for a relaunch, a return to the drawing board in order to set the series off in a clear, singular direction. It seems EA has purposely avoided the ‘colon noun’ formula that has become a feature of the series and the obvious reason is to avoid confusion. Epitomised during the Underground editions of the series, in recent years the street racing scene was pushed to one side in favour of high performance vehicles with minimal customisation, but now, and after a year long hiatus, the series returns with the simply titled Need for Speed (2015)

Like a warm blanket for fans of street racing, The Fast and Furious films and hideously ugly, self customised cars, the Need For Speed series has acted as a way for wannabe teenagers (like myself at one point) to create the car of their dreams.
