Does it have rubberband AI? I hate that about NFS games.
Well, it goes up 1, but point taken. I just have never felt like Metacritic is useful. I could give two shits about what a newspaper or Rolling Stone says about a video game
it seems like it does, but you have to keep in mind that you are mixing single player and multiplayer simultaneously so it doesn't necessarily have the mario kart effect.
for example, i have been focused on playing as a cop, which each rank/lvl i have to choose the type of cop patrol/undercover/enforcer. i have mostly chosen enforcer which gives me a enforcer related "to do list" (ie score 15000 pts in one session, ram 5 cars, silver in hot pursuit) to rank up. i select the enforcer variant of one of the cars i have unlocked (aston martin, bmw, marussia, viper srt, camaro, porsche, etc.)
then i leave the garage and enter an open world with 7 other players (some cops some racers) and then choose to work on my list or not. meanwhile everyone else is racing/chasing either each other or cpu players and its intense.
for example, i quick gps to one of the hot pursuit challenge variants, but en route i notice racers (player and cpu) being chased by cops (players and cpu) and helicopters amidst the torrential downpour (yes there is night/weather), say "holy sh*t" goonies style turn on my siren and go chase and ram a racer with my shock pursuit tech (kinda like mario kart) as they try to veer away from someone else's spike strip yet still win their race
fwiw i got kz, bf4, ac4, cod, nfs, and nba 2k and so far rivals might be my underdog favorite...blissful rush of adrenaline win or lose
