Remember the Seacrest County? Redview offers the very similar variation of places. From forests, to even snowy hills through long straight in desert. Youre given Hypercars, which ask for hitting that max speed. There are also cops that will make your life more thrilling. You get to choose which side are you on. Race with freedom, or perhaps hunting everyone down? It doesnt matter, you will still hit over 300kmh!
Originally started on PS4, and moved to PC. Rivals is the place i return, no matter what games i play. If you check my profile, you will see that i have many hours in Heat, Hot Pursuit Remastered. I also own Unbound and 2015 on EA with over 300hrs in total.
This review is edited, with about 750hrs in Rivals. Its that fun, that enjoyable (im stuck here, please send help). Playing with friends is a great option (but good luck getting through this buggy mess). But when youre playing alone... youre not alone! There are still players, in the next session (what if they ain there?)
AI can get boring, so why not go online? Rivals is still alive, even after those 11yrs. There is a chance that Rivals will be shutdown, but its Peer to Peer so maybe it wont? (it probably will, this is a hidden buggy gem)
With players, you will experience what Rivals really means. It means winning, losing, wrecking, killing, competing. There are many ways to describe this. But remember one thing, everyone at some point will hunt you down, so either you fight or run away. You can die, or you can survive. Just know that there are cheaters out there that have nothing better to do but cheat in this 11yr old game... get a life, please
Well, original review was most likely with 30hrs or maybe more. But this time, with over 750hrs i will redo that. Rivals is a great game that is worth playing, if you loved Hot Pursuit and want open world - Rivals is for you. Mod compatibility is there, but its very hard (created a small mod myself). I sadly missed peak Rivals, with clans and so much more. But i managed to bring that back.
This game is a mess, get only on sale, play with friends or play solo, check out Rivals+ mod tho. And bear in mind that there are cheaters in this game, reporting doesnt work, and EA is lazy af to even implement it in latest Unbound...

Heated awaits, join today. Im -Heat-The_Zephyr and i will see you on streets and hunt you down of course.


Hope to see Rivals 2, knowing that it will not happen. This game was my childhood, brutal cops, great map, back then everything was easier. Now here i am, editing this very review after 100hrs since last time. I stopped playing, i rarely play nowadays to be honest. So yeah, its better than current gen slop that they put DLSS and call it a day. Funny, no?
