![]() It’s worth getting to grips with the ‘Handling Tuning’ menu as soon as possible, as it greatly impacts the game’s feel, allowing you to adjust the steering sensitivity, downforce, drift potential, and more. The game’s vehicles offer impressive speed and power, although their handling takes a little getting used to, as they can feel a little too responsive and slippery for some at first. Fortunately, Need for Speed Unbound has this mostly in order. Of course, well-designed streets that can be beautified don’t mean much if the basic driving mechanics of the game don’t meet your requirements. It’s not a bad idea to tinker with the cars here either, to get them into your gear Rather it’s just a bit odd compared to the huge maps found in other modern open-world racing games, but Criterion’s experience with these types of games comes through in a decent way. There’s nothing terribly groundbreaking about Lakeshore City. You’ll always have to watch out for the cops, but they don’t ruin the fun as they did in some of the more recent entries in the series (especially Need for Speed Heat). The cops are also well-handled, as they patrol realistically all the time and aren’t overly aggressive once you get into a chase with them, as in other parts of the series. Lakeshore feels both well-paced and fun, in a way that Ghost Games’ more boring sandboxes never did. Lakeshore City is a great driving “sandbox” full of challenges, collectibles, memorable landmarks, and unique regions. If I had to pick one thing that Need for Speed Unbound does better than Ghost Games’ titles, it’s open-world development. “Take me down to the Lakeshore City, Where the grass is green, and the girls are pretty” In the break between Gran Turismo 7 and Forza Motorsport 8, d next spring, this open-world racing game boosts to a series that has been slaloming at a modest pace among the rest of the genre. Need for Speed Unbound is surprisingly challenging, making every race count and immersive, with plenty of styles. The classic racing game has finally reached its limits with an occasionally embarrassingly clunky story and repetitive objectives, but the journey to get there has been a lot of fun. ![]() ![]() It was with this surprisingly strong narrative thread that Need for Speed Unbound started, and despite the series’ recent struggles and subdued marketing campaign, it proved to be a pleasant surprise overall.
