You also get to see your racer a fair bit, so these are actually worthwhile. There’s a host of customisation options for your racer, with a batch of branded threads to throw on, and a pleasing array of options that aren’t gender-locked.
Characters have a bold, almost cel-shaded look, with motion-captured movement that looks and feels authentic beneath their animated exterior. While there’s still room for plenty of neon colours, Criterion have settled on an art direction that mashes the real world with comic art and graffiti. Unbound recaptures that sense of individuality that Need for Speed Underground set in place. With Need for Speed Unbound, Criterion have returned to the steering wheel, and in doing so have carved out a characterful and creative new direction for this iconic series. There’s been some weaker entries along the way, and a swathe of different design choices that have given the sense that Need for Speed doesn’t truly know who, or what, it is. That’s probably why some gamers cast a wary eye over the series. Whether it’s the original titles, Underground’s timely rendition of street racing culture, or Criterion’s first exemplary run, Need for Speed has been there, often year-in, year-out.
