Anyone have NFS:Rivals on the XB1?

I installed it last night and was having a right laugh as I found it was an online game and got into a car chase with about 10 cop players and 1 racer and it turned into the police all stars Gumball Rally. It was brilliant fun smile

I see that Concrete Buffalo's gamertag name appeared a few times wink

Yup I've got it smile unfortunately being a game we I also have BF4, Dead Rising 3, FM5 and AC Black Flag too so splitting my time between them.

Only played a couple of hours so far, I like the fact it populates the maps with other online racers and the cops vs robbers chases are a really good idea. Reminds me of NFS Most Wanted which was brilliant and real opponents was the one thing I wanted back then.

Got friends staying over and they are all about BF4 and FM5 but hopefully I'll have some time this weekend to get back to it if you're about.

Should be about on sunday as got mates birthday on Saturday night, maybe a few shandies.

I have the game we issue too, got NFS, Forza, Marvel Lego (which takes up WAY too much of my time!) and CoD Ghost which I have yet to install.

Guy at work says RYSE is worth a punt too.

Recommend a look at AV forums classifieds - a few XBox One games being sold of 2nd hand/new there, yet to pay over £38 for one and got:

NFS: R
BF4
Ryse
Forza

(Ryse and Forza cost me £65 inc postage!)

Just started playing this after renting it, played through a bit of racer and cops career and I think it's a good game! My only real gripe is the handling.. it does take some getting used to when you just come off of Forza because you go to turn a corner and the car doesn't turn until 5 seconds later..

Will probably keep this until Monday then send it back to try out Call of Duty.

I've got it for PS4 and it is easily the most buggy, glitchy game in my collection...and that includes BF4! It could've been great but instead I want to throw my controller at the screen more often than not when once again the EA server decides it needs to migrate the game and drops me from the middle of whatever event I am in.

It looks great and sounds great but I would say avoid like the plague to anyone who is looking at buying it unless it is VERY cheap.

I've only encountered that problem once, but that was when my whole internet dropped out, I'm on Xbox One though.

I regularly find myself picking the event furthest away from me just so I can go for a little drive there.

Also thought of two more issues I forgot to put in my first reply, first of all I can't find an option to turn it to manual transmission which is annoying because the computer cannot pick a gear and stick to it and chooses the wrong gear all the time. And also the fact that there is no interior view frown I hate outside views on car games.
