This time our adventure starts at full speed.
We're coming to Palm City for the Speedhunters Showdown, a city-wide racing exhibition that draws racers from around the world to compete in legally sanctioned races all day long, but has a serious problem with illegal street racing all night long.
And to prove that we're the best at these races
We will realize that the map is very vast and when we are tired of running we can only walk and admire the landscape which varies many times with very different climates and rotating time zones so that you will feel that time moves forward.
As with any Need for Speed series, we'll focus on burning tires, police chases, and being the first to reach the finish line. However, like previous installments, the game has a main story that you can decide to follow to make it a little more interesting.
But nevertheless, its landscapes and cities are for me the main attraction and the landscapes that we can appreciate of lakes and rain, the shift effects and the smoke from the tires make you feel that you are in a very real race.
We will be able to unlock new tracks and unique designs for our vehicles and we will team up with Ana, an ex-driver with whom we will dedicate ourselves to winning 🏆
In the midst of all this drama, the player buys a race car from Lucas Rivera and Jonny Cruz, a local mechanic and retired street racer. Rivera helps the player enter his first Showdown race and becomes his mechanic and mentor for much of the game. The player meets Lucas' younger sister, Ana Rivera, a member of Palm City's underground street racing scene. Ana's street racing team was recently disbanded after a raid by the High Speed Task Force nearly killed one of Ana's friends.
To continue the analogy with the role-playing game, it's like having to create four characters in the same game, each one specialized in a field. The money is shared, which makes it very tedious to have to improve four cars at the same time to adjust to each of the disciplines. But, in addition, the recommended level for each event is also poorly balanced. You can enter a level 220 race with a level of 240 and still have problems. Especially until you start to understand how the pieces work, something that the game doesn't deign to explain much.
One of the best parts of the game is the vehicle customization. Not only will you have a few tools to adjust your design and tuning, but it is really worth your time, as the game is well presented in its menus and loading, with showrooms where you can see your car show off. Plus, you can share your designs with the community and download those of other players.
With this last note I say goodbye wishing all of you a prosperous future and reminding you that life is a race in which we must be number 1 in the race and enjoying the journey makes everything much more fulfilling.
