Need 7.3.1

Introducing Need, a thrilling racing game that will keep you on the edge of your seat. Unlike its title suggests, Need for Speed No Limits is a game that imposes numerous limitations and restrictions on players, all in the name of its free-to-play model. However, if you can look past these limitations, you'll find an exciting arcade racer that will satisfy your need for speed.

The game immediately impresses with its slick visual design. The neon glow of the city streets in the training stage sets the tone for the underground racing format, where you'll compete against other racers and outrun the cops. As you progress, the game introduces a variety of environments, including sun-bleached settings like dry storm drains, adding depth to the overall experience.

Car enthusiasts will appreciate the attention to detail in the car models, featuring a selection of real-world, high-end machines from Ford to Koenigsegg. These supped-up vehicles look fantastic and add to the overall excitement of the game.

The races themselves are short and simple, with controls limited to tapping the screen to turn and swiping upward to activate turbo. While this simplicity may feel underwhelming at first, as you spend more time with the game, you'll discover additional tactics such as managing your turbo level efficiently and utilizing drafts, airtime, and near misses to refill your boost more quickly.

However, the game's payment model soon becomes apparent, and the "No Limits" moniker starts to feel like a joke. Progression becomes locked behind upgrades, cars, and fuel, forcing you to either invest in in-game purchases or face frustrating limitations. While the free-to-play model is forgiving initially, providing regular fuel refills and free crates for upgrades, it eventually slows down, leaving you with no choice but to invest real money to progress. The range of payments varies from $1.99 to $99.99, so be prepared to open your wallet if you want to fully enjoy the game.

Another limitation of Need for Speed No Limits is its requirement for a stable internet connection. Without it, you won't be able to participate in the campaign elements of the game, making it inaccessible for those who play while commuting or in areas with poor connectivity.

Despite these frustrations, Need for Speed No Limits remains a visually stunning and exhilarating racing game. As long as you're aware of its limitations and are willing to pay the price for its fuel-tax, there is fun to be had. So buckle up, hit the gas, and get ready for an adrenaline-fueled ride like no other.
