need for speed rivals
|
|
Rivals features gameplay somewhat similar to the earlier Hot Pursuit, with exotic cars and high-speed
police chases. Players take
on the role of a Racer or a Cop, with each side of the law offering its own set
of challenges, risks and rewards. Rivals
features eleven upgradeable gadgets such as EMPs, shockwaves and the ability to
call in roadblocks. The game
takes place in a fictional location known as Redview County. It's an open world
and features over 100 miles (160 km) of open road, larger than that of 2012's
Need for Speed: Most Wanted, but on the same
size as Criterion's Hot Pursuit. The open
world features a similar set-up to Most Wanted, with several jumps, speed
traps and unlockable cars, as well as shortcuts that are not shown on the
map.Rivals features a full career progression for both Cop and Racer. When playing as a Cop, there are three types of career that can be followed - patrol, enforcer, and undercover. Progression
is by means of Speedlists for Racer and Assignments for Cop, which are sets of
objectives which involve dangerous driving, maneuvers, and race standings. When
the player completes a set of objectives, the player levels up and unlocks
items, and is presented with another set of objectives to choose from. The Autolog system, a competition-between-friends
system developed by Criterion for Hot Pursuit and since used in other
titles in the Need for Speed series, factors into the progression system,
comparing how quickly the player complete an Assignment or Speedlist to other
players' times and posts them to a Speed Wall for local and global
leader boards.
