About this game
Built specifically for phones rather than ported, this is Need for Speed cut down to its street-racing core. Races take place on the streets of a fictional city called Blackridge, and they're built around nitro: launch, weave through traffic, hit the Nitro Zones, cross the line. Police turn up to spoil things, and rival crews need putting in their place to build street reputation. The garage is the long game. Real-world cars from Bugatti, Lamborghini, McLaren and others are collected over time, and the tuning system runs to roughly 2.5 million combinations of parts and visual options. Drifting and drag races vary the format, and there are more than 1,000 events to work through. It comes from the makers of Real Racing 3, needs a persistent internet connection, and sells virtual currency that can be used on randomised item packs.
Need for Speed No Limits Game: the full guide
What the game is
EA's phone-first Need for Speed, from the team behind Real Racing 3, strips the series to street racing in a fictional city called Blackridge. Races revolve around nitro: launch hard, thread traffic, hit the Nitro Zones, finish. Police interrupt, and rival crews have to be beaten to build reputation.
The garage is where the long game lives. Real cars from McLaren, Lamborghini and Bugatti are accumulated over time, and the tuning options run to roughly 2.5 million part-and-visual combinations.
How a session plays
Races are short and loud, a minute or two of weaving and boosting with a clear finish line. Drift and drag events change the rhythm, and there are more than a thousand events in total, so a session is a cluster of them with upgrades spent in between.
Much of the time goes to the garage: fitting parts, adjusting looks, and deciding which car gets the next upgrade. Cop chases add an occasional spike of chaos to an otherwise structured progression.
Why people look for it
The licence and the cars. People want a Need for Speed on their phone, and the promise of real supercars with deep visual tuning is what the series has always sold. It's also searched for by Real Racing 3 players curious what the same developer does with an arcade format.
Look and feel
Night-time neon, wet asphalt and glossy car models are the series look, and the Blackridge setting suggests the same. EA has posted five screenshots. The garage will be visually rich given the scale of the customisation, and the racing view will be first-person or chase-cam with a prominent nitro meter.
