Drivers also can be affected during their races by other players who accidentally cross their paths and even can be challenged by these players to sprints or other race events. Players also earn rep points, which give access to more difficult races. Players can pick and choose which specialty they want to explore at any time, earning money that can be spent on cars or car upgrades.
After quickly demonstrating your skills, you get hooked up with a crew of up-and-coming racers who are well-known in town, each with his own specialties: sprint racing, drift racing, car building and tuning, drift team racing (drifting in a group), and being an outlaw (getting chased by cops). Players take on the role of a nameless, faceless racer who decides to make a name for himself on the city streets. NEED FOR SPEED is the latest installment of the long-running franchise and takes place on the fictional streets of Ventura Bay, a city modeled on Los Angeles. But parents should be aware of unmoderated multiplayer, which could expose kids to inappropriate comments, as well as the fact that plenty of logos for real cars, aftermarket parts, and other products are plastered on cars and billboards.
Language is relatively mild throughout, and though there's implied alcohol use during cut scenes, there's no other mature content. Fortunately, there's no blood, gore, or injuries shown, and vehicle performance isn't affected. Accidents and crashes look bad, with car parts frequently vibrating loose and getting dented. Players can drive through lampposts, signs, and bus stops and will frequently collide with other racers. Though the crew is mostly supportive of each other, they're still performing illegal racing and other lawbreaking acts, such as police chases or smashing through roadblocks. Parents need to know that Need for Speed is a racing game set in a fictional city centered on a group of young street racers eager to make a name for themselves.
