The single player aspect is too short and easy. Cars will slow down or speed up drastically to keep up with you no matter how slow or fast you are, so there is practically no challenge. There is no added content over the original and there is nothing to do at all once the main events are completed. The multiplayer aspect is buggy and there aren't many lobbies that don't involve cross play, and there is no anti cheat to speak of so cheaters are rampant online. On top of that, bugs and performance issues plague the game and there has been almost no support for the game since it released. The console struggles when racing with a full lobby and frequently stutters and slows down, and the game is plagued with graphical glitches and artifacts.

Traffic will literally appear out of thin air in front of you and cause you to crash, abilities will frequently and randomly fail to work, and in some modes your car will spawn on top of a teammate's, causing you to lose speed and receive damage. It is clear that this game was "remastered" solely for the purpose of a cheap cash grab in between development of the main Need for Speed titles. On top of this, some content was actually removed from the original version. It's worth a play if you didn't try the original, but if you have played the original this is an easy pass.

Another great racing game remastered for the Nintendo Switch. Solid fun gameplay and enhanced visuals are a treat. One of the better racers on Switch in my opinion and worth a look, especially for such a reasonable price. Go fast!

While this game isn’t as customizable as other games into the series it still is a fun throw back. If you play in handheld the short cutscenes before races do have a bit of bug in where they either don’t probably render or flicker. But its still a smooth gameplay experience, fun crossplay, sadly no cross progression so if you also play on another platform you will have to start all the way from scratch which will b annoying especially if you grinded this game

Fun game, the remaster looks great but there are a couple of performance hitches here and there as seems to be common with most Switch ports. Don't expect it to run buttery smooth but you can get 30fps most of the time. Being able to take cat/mouse racer like Hot Pursuit on the go is worth the trade off though. I mainly just play the single player missions chasing people down and running from the cops. I haven't messed with the online, but the game is fun. Keep in mind this is an arcade style racer, not a simulator. It's going to be easier for most people to play but doesn't require quite as much skill to master the driving techniques.
I bought this game for my Switch Lite when I am on the go. Fun racing game while getting chased by the police in certain part of the game. In other parts of the game you get to play the police and chase down the racers is also nice. When that is not going on, you are racing against other races in different environments. It is a entertaining arcade racer game in general.
I was expecting more from the game. The overall look and feel is similar to PS4. I love driving games therefore despite the negative reviews on YouTube I still had to get the switch version as well. I can play it on the go. The cars are nice. The Porsche is my favorite to drive. Excellent quality cars. Road and environmental is a bit dark. Had issues moving on to the next levels and sometime the game does not allow you to to the next race. Tge words are small and hard to read. But dispute all that I love the game.
There hasn't been a Need for Speed title on a Nintendo console since Most Wanted in 2012 (which was a great port, better than the 360 and PS3). But prior to that Nintendo had had weaker hardware and primarily motion controllers for the Nintendo Wii entries. This PS3/360/PC title was great when I played it on PS3 (at 720p/30fps) but now runs at 1080p/30fps on Switch. The controls are great and it plays well especially on the Pro controller. I also picked it up on the Xbox One for the series X where it will play at upto 4K 30fps or 1080p/60fps. Unfortunately it released right before next gen consoles so it hasn't been patched (and likely won't be) to play on them where it could easily run at 4K/60fps or possibly 1080p/120fps. Still the game runs great on Switch ... MoreThere hasn't been a Need for Speed title on a Nintendo console since Most Wanted in 2012 (which was a great port, better than the 360 and PS3).

Its time to reignite the pursuit. An Excellent remasterd racing game for the Nintendo Switch. Unkock high performance cars and racing tracks. Enjoy the new cross multiplayer online or with friends. The new visuals plus all the DLC included makes this game a master piece, must buy.
This game brought me joy, excitement, spontaneity that other games had not tapped into 20 years ago. I was scrambling to find the game my 8 year would love and star wars was his only choice. The game could not be racing starwars. The pressure was on when the one he wanted was not obtainable. So, i browsed for days and finally on that last day made a decision. I decided to bring him something that brought me joy years ago and this would reciprocate that same feeling. When I passed him the game hos eyes lit up... He was beyond excited. He is really enjoying the game... great game still and it is decades later.
Was kind of skeptical of buying this. Seemed too good to be true to get something VIN-programmed that would work properly at this price. BUT - I've had it installed for 2 weeks and it's worked flawlessly right from the start. And the car DID start right up when I installed it (remove battery terminal, swap PCMs, connect battery terminal, start it up). Great product, very happy, and would buy it again - or another car part if I need one. Also super easy to supply the information they need and they're very responsive to messages/questions. Thanks very much!
