It took three games; but not only did Ghost finally made a good Need for Speed game, they made one of the best Need for Speed game full stop.

Pros
Beautiful Arcade Driving Handle
Varied and delicious array of cars
Insane levels of customisation
Pretty decent story was pretty okay VA
Aggressive AF cops
Entertaining Progression
Crossplatform Play
Lots of little open world challenges from mini drift trails to flamingo hunting

Cons
- Some glitches, many already patched
- Harsh Busting radius/timer
- Every car by default uses the GAS drifting style, it is okay but I advise changing it to BREAK for more traditional drifting, you must do this for every new car you're in

My 'I love this Game' Moment
Sometimes you get a moment that instantly makes you say, I love this game
At the highest police level (Heat Level 5) police start sending Rhinos, these are heavy reinforced monsters that has the only goal of ramming you head on. I was driving at 167mph when 20 meters in front of me, a Rhino spawn already at max speed and instantly wrecked my car. Now every human being has a personal noise of true fear, you don't get to choose what that noise is but I found out mine at this moment. I can't recreate it for you.

Summary
In short, Ghost created something truly special and it makes me very upset that EA shut down this beautiful studio soon after this game came out. Buy this game, buy this beautiful ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ game.
