When in the middle of the night in order to avoid the police and at a speed of 150 miles to leap across a forest, no one can not be "need for speed 18: Old Enemy" and moved, then the helicopter searchlight light through the woods pouring down, so that your adrenaline burst again ...

However, this stimulus is not long, after a period of time after the game I began to hope that the game can be more depth and diversity, so that the feeling of the stimulus can be maintained, rather than simply repeating it on the internet some of the things that have been done countless times. In spite of that, I still think that this game has brought me an exciting and perfect gaming experience, and that the genes lurking inside me to find excitement are incredibly active.

The game developed by Ghost Games inherits the experience of the previous developer criterion. The game combines the dynamics of the "thermodynamic tracker" with the dynamic of the game and the open world element of "top wanted". In many ways it has reached the top of these two works, but if you spend a lot of time in these two games like me, you'll feel a sense of vision in the old enemy.

"Old Enemy" set in the fictional red King town. The Red King Town boasts the most diverse geographical environment in the world. On the map you can find barren deserts and lush vineyards, seaside sidewalks and snowy trails. This is a great change after the city style of the highest wanted, but I really miss the cement maze of "the highest wanted" in the police chase.

But the mayor's long road set the stage for a long chase. This kind of road is ideal for drift and high speed driving, not like the need to avoid the police in the top wanted. It is a pity that there is no stage in this world for two different styles, otherwise the game will be more diversified. In a very fortuitous time, I did find that even though I had managed to escape, it was a bit frustrating for the police to find me somehow.

Each road is full of different challenges, including ordinary racing and timing races, new chases and records that need to be broken. But although the scenery is beautiful, but I think the red King Town lacks the hidden place which can explore. The map does not stick to your friend's face, and can hit through the billboard, there is no Mercedes-Benz supercar, even jump than before to do a lot less. Although there are a few hidden paths, I find that many times I find that even if I choose a path, I will be forced back to the original path by obvious obstacles. "Top wanted" encourages players to explore the subway aisle or jump off the roof, but the "old enemy" limits the player to a single path.

"Old enemy" visual effect is very good, make full use of the power of the secondary generation mainframe or PC. The vehicle is exceptionally fine and has a photographic level. "Need for Speed" series has been focused on the screen, this is the same. The car in the game is like a grumpy behemoth, ready for the next game. If you look closely, you can see the liquid dripping from the body, as if the car had been sweating. The weather effect is equally alarming. Rain, snow and sunshine and the conversion of time have a great impact on the visual effects of the game. The pouring rain blurs the screen, and sometimes at night you can even see the reflected lightning on the smooth road. Although the road is not lively, there will always be something to make you feel refreshing.

The story of the game is deliberately accidental, let a person rejoice "need for Speed 16: Fugitive" story narrative way did not reappear. Each section revolves around a different task list, whether it's a policeman or a Cylon. "Old enemies" give players an excellent sense of urgency, and players can switch between the police and the game player.

Escaping the police's thermodynamic tracking class task is undoubtedly the preferred task. The timing and speed races are quickly tiring, especially if you've travelled countless times on the same road.

"Old enemies" are very interesting for a certain period of time, but once you get used to the game, unlock more vehicles, and know the map, the game will not have more fun. The map is relatively large enough, but when you gallop at such a high speed, it is easy to pass the half map on a single task. Of course the game will always let me excited, but in the early no surprises.

No matter which camp you choose, there are different super sports cars from Aston Martin to Ferrari waiting for you in the garage. The controls are fun, sensitive and easy to handle, and even new players will quickly learn to drift too fast. The game can also include a variety of equipment in the car, including needles and mines, pulse waves and turbo-charged and so on. Weapons are not particularly distinctive, although they are useful, but not as old weapons, rampage.

The goal of the game is to unlock the upgrade, and playing the game will certainly be more interesting. The Cylons have more options for changing cars and more interesting equipment, such as crazy turbo-charging, and the method of scoring is more fascinating. The game encourages the player to try to increase the heat value as a fractional number, but if you are arrested or crashed, you will lose all points. When you carry 100,000 points behind you, there are 6 Ferrari cars chasing you crazy, the game is the most flash moment. Playing cops is a little bit boring compared to that.

But if the person you're chasing is your friend as a policeman, then the game becomes very appealing. Structurally, the multiplayer mode of the game can be seamlessly connected to single mode, allowing 6 players to compete in the same game world. You can all become the police, hunt for AI game together, also can evade the law together, even can mix competition. You can play alone with other players, or you can choose your own game until you meet on the map. The game has no rules, very free, but probably because the map area is small, so the number of players is also relatively small. At the same time, for the sake of balance and fairness of the game, it takes a long time to crash the player's car. I also miss some of the most wanted people who have a lot of imaginative tasks, such as who can draw the longest donut.

The most suitable term for "need for Speed 18: The Old enemy" is a roller coaster. The game has some of the best car chase, and the second generation of host version of the game has an unprecedented visual effect. If you've never played a lot of heat tracing or the highest wanted, then Ben will have a greater appeal to you. What I'm looking for is more exploration, depth and diversity, and this is a little less than that, but the combination of multiplayer and single mode makes up for it.
