Most of the story takes place through cutscenes, with the chosen character voicing their opinions of current events in the game. Story progression is made through completing speedlists as a racer, or assignments as a cop.
Need for Speed Rivals takes place in the fictional Redview County.[13] The open world environment 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.[10][14]
In an attempt to make himself known to the public, street racer Zephyr uploads a video of him outrunning the police along the streets of Redview County. Within a few days, other racers begin replicating what Zephyr did in the video. As a result, the racers have become more public in their criminal acts and increasingly more dangerous, committing more acts of damage to property as they speed through the streets. The Redview County Police Department responds by increasing their punitive measures in an attempt to bring the racers to justice, resulting in public backlash. Later on, an RCPD officer named John McManis is injured while attempting to keep up with the racers. Public outcry swings back in support of the police, leading the rookie officer to swear revenge on the racers.
- MiscellaneousI somewhat like how Pursuit Tech is implemented here. For starters, you get to pick which ones and how many of them you have, unlike HP2010 which just chose for you. Secondly, cops and racers have some pursuit tech exclusive to them. For example, only cops can use spike strips, roadblocks, shock ram, and the helicopter, but only racers can use turbo, stun mines, and shockwaves. Different pursuit tech have very different applications, but you can only have two equipped per car at a time. This means there is a lot of strategy involved in picking the right pursuit tech for the right events, though I must admit it's a bit unbalanced. In my experience, spike strips are not very useful because tires reinflate quickly and they're easy to avoid, for example. Turbo also wasn't that useful for me, as I found getting cars up to speed quite easy in this game. Even so, I don't doubt that different people with different playstyles doing different events could easily find more use for the things I didn't use often. You purchase pursuit tech with Speedpoints, which like MW2012, you get for basically everything you do. Unlike MW2012 however, SP is not tied to progression. It's currency. In the cop career, they're only really used to buy pursuit tech, but in the racer career, you'll need them for new cars, pursuit tech, upgrades, vinyls, and decals. Racers generally get more SP than cops because their Heat level acts like a multiplier for the SP they earn, which they lose when they get busted. Oh, right, your cars also have a health bar. If the cops wreck your car, that's a bust. Repair shops exist, but are spread out enough that it isn't always easy to reach them during a pursuit. You have to either learn the map or hope for the best. In the end I guess the point of this whole rant is that the game has both strategy elements that have multiple right answers which allows you to play your way, and an effective risk vs reward system that is extremely satisfying without being overly punishing. REMEMBER THAT FOR A LATER REVIEW.
- Speed/PhysicsRivals is fast right from the start, and it has a phenomenal sense of speed. The speed is also perfectly tailored to the map, which has roads just tight enough to make maintaining speed challenging and satisfying. It also helps that while Rivals does implement Brake to Drift, it's still a very different feel. Rivals is tighter, lighter, less eloquent than HP2010 and MW2012. Cars are erratic if you don't know what you're doing. Speed makes them quiver; it'll get your palms sweaty. And I would not have it any other way.
The Ugly- MapRedview County is basically Seacrest but smaller, tighter, and slightly more alive. I understand that a game with as ambitious a concept as this would need to make a few sacrifices, but was it really worth it to have a map this small? The roads are fun to drive on but there simply aren't enough of them. It doesn't help that the game starts in the north, and as you progress south events generally get more challenging. But like I said earlier, there are more events than Speedlists/Assignments tell you to do, so you'll only be doing the harder events after you beat the game, when a Speedlist/Assignment forces you to (which is rare), or if you consciously choose the harder events over easier ones you've yet to finish. This means that you're going to be spending more time in the north half of the map than the south, and by far. This just makes it feel even more miniscule. Lastly, shortcuts. Even in HP2010, the shortcuts at least made a bit of sense; construction sites, farms, whatever. In Rivals, half of them have no contextual reason to exist. But beyond that, the physics hate shortcuts. Cars straighten out on uneven ground, but due to the nature of shortcuts, most of them are curves. As such, it's very difficult to turn through them, which generally makes them both slower and more challenging than just sticking to the road. This entirely defeats the purpose of shortcuts.
- SoundtrackThis ost is phenomenal. While I wish the pursuit score was a bit more intense, the quality of the licensed music is very high. The biggest issue though, is that most of it doesn't really fit the game very well. A fast paced racer with a dark tone and style does not need Bastille's Pompeii, as awesome a song as it is. And that sentiment goes for most of the licensed music in the game.

"Damage critical." The words appear on the screen in red, sending a rush through me. One more hit and I'm done for. It's too far to the nearest repair shop; I know I need to make it back to a hideout fast or I'll lose everything. I gun it, relying on my reflexes to help me evade the police, with their spike strips and their reckless attempts to run me off the road. There are only two possible outcomes: the triumph of big risks taken and big rewards achieved, or the agony of seeing everything I've earned slip away in an instant. Which will it be this time?
Despite being the work of new developer Ghost Games, Need for Speed: Rivals is clearly a game in the mold of Criterion's entries in the Need for Speed series, particularly 2010's excellent Hot Pursuit. In this game, as in that one, you step into the cars of both cops and racers and cruise around a gorgeous open world, completing events that require you to either evade the law or enforce it. Of course, enforcing the law here isn't a matter of asking drivers to politely pull over; instead, it involves ramming racers at speed, using spike strips and shock rams, and wrecking the elusive racers' vehicles by any means necessary. As a racer, you have plenty of tricks up your sleeve as well, including shock waves that damage and repel nearby vehicles, and jammers that prevent the cops or your fellow racers from using their own weapons against you.
And if you're a cop, hunting a human player across the winding roads of Redview County--an environment that offers no shortage of obstructions you can smash through and shortcuts that you can take advantage of--is more exhilarating than pursuing artificially intelligent prey. Other games in the series have had multiplayer options that pit cops against racers, but here, the multiplayer is seamlessly integrated into the world at large. You can encounter other players at any time, and as a result, the world feels alive in a way that earlier games in the series haven't. If you choose not to share a world with other players, AI cops and racers roam the roads, so there's still a chance you'll run right into a high-speed chase or some other action even when you're playing alone.
The seamlessness with which events are integrated into the world does carry with it the occasional downside. If you start a race, for instance, while being pursued by cops, the cops might crowd around you during the few seconds before the race starts, during which you're immobile. Once the race begins, you're hindered by the cluster of cop cars surrounding you, while your opponents speed off unhindered. Your opponents slow down significantly if you fall behind early, though, giving you a conspicuously artificial opportunity to catch up. And it's frustrating that, while you're being pursued as a racer, you can't use the GPS function to set a waypoint for the event of your choice.
