Cops vs Racers returns in Need for Speed as Unbound draws inspiration from Hot Pursuit!

Thought you knew everything about Lakeshore City and Need for Speed Unbound? Think again as Volume 2 rolls out, giving racers the chance to tear up the streets once more, unlocking all the secrets of the map as they go. 

Need For Speed Unbound is an attempt to recapture the glory days of the Need for Speed franchise, and to a large degree, it succeeds.

Need for Speed is one of the most recognisable, most loved of all racing franchises. It's a series which has been able to provide us with some of the greatest moments in our gaming lives and now, with the release of Need for Speed Unbound, it's time to prove we have what it takes to survive in the cutthroat racing scene once again. 

It's been years since we've had a good Need for Speed, but come this December, EA and Criterion Games will be delivering Need for Speed Unbound to the world. 

I’ve written before about how much I’ve enjoyed the many and varied Need for Speed games, even going so far as to attempt to rank them. In this article, I’m looking back to one of the “middle of the road” entries in the series, Need for Speed Carbon.

We're well used to the Xbox Game Pass providing players with a host of new experiences each and every month, with hyped releases complemented well with surprise drops onto the scheme. As June 2021 begins to draw to a close, three new titles roll out onto the Game Pass system, letting players get involved with them for free. And if you have ever wanted to feel the Need for Speed, Hot Pursuit Remastered is leading the way.

So, all in all, Shift 2: Unleashed from way back in 2011 on Xbox 360, PS3 and PC was a good game, but not quite as good as the marketing hype may have had you believe. Autolog and racing with friends was fun, the upgrading of the cars and the gradual unlocking of the new series made for an addictive play, and the game looked the part as well. But it failed to reach the heights many predicted.

If you have ever wanted to smash police cars/racers off the road then Need for Speed Hot Pursuit Remastered on Xbox is the game for you, and that goes double if you've never played it before. It’s fast, furious and will have you on the edge of your seat as you hurtle round corners, inches from disaster, winning a race by the skin of your teeth. If you played the original then there’s not a lot new here, but it looks and plays great - that in itself means it’s got to be worth a punt.
