“I remember going to what was probably the local video game shop or computer shop, and me and my friends saw it on the 3DO, and we were like ‘what’s this?’, we all jumped on it, and you felt badass,” current Need For Speed producer Patrick Honnoraty says. “Being able to drive it, being chased by the cops, there wasn’t an experience that was really like it at the time.”

]]>Need for Speed Heat has a big focus on the difference between day and night (besides the obvious), each one affording the player new opportunities and new challenges.

]]>From now until 6th February, a whole host of EA games on PC have been reduced by up to 75 per cent at many digital retailers.
]]>Need for Speed Heat has a lot of different races and activities, but perhaps the most difficult and most lucrative are the High Heat Races, sometimes referred to as High Heat Events, challenging races that can only be accessed by players with, appropriately enough, high heat levels. We’ll be going over what you need to get into one, how you can win, and what rewards you’ll get out of it.
]]>Need for Speed Heat places a big emphasis on rep, one of the most important currencies in the game.

Luckily, we’ve found a way to farm rep with ease, as well as some pointers for building your reputation generally.
]]>The Need For Speed Heat reviews are in and we've rounded up all the scores for you.
]]>The cops in Need For Speed Heat might be bad guys, in that they… erm, keep trying to stop you from destroying property and endangering lives, but that doesn’t stop them from being damn relentless. Drive a little too fast past just one squad car and before long you’re liable to have half the Palm City P.D. on your tail. Fortunately, we're here to show you how you can escape the cops, and how to get in-game rewards in the process.
]]>Need for Speed Heat offers over four hundred different collectibles and activities over its entire world, but perhaps the most mysterious and profitable are the neon flamingos. We’ll show you how to unlock them, find them, and profit from them.

]]>Crews are basically teams or clans in Need for Speed: Heat that allow up to 32 players to work, communicate or compete with each other.

You can also study other crew members’ cars in Lucas’ Garage by simply going to the Showcase tab and pressing Square.
]]>Need for Speed Heat’s vehicles are pretty damn durable, to the point where you can crash through dozens of pedestrians and just keep on going like it’s not. However, they’re not quite indestructible, and after a night of playing bumper cars at two hundred miles an hour, you’ll likely have a few instances where your car breaks down or where you have to start slowing to avoid wrecking your own vehicle, making it harder to win races. Fortunately, fixing your car is both simple and easy.
]]>Need for Speed Heat can’t be beat without skill, sure, but skill doesn’t mean much without some of the fastest cars to use them in. And while there’s no shortage of supercars and roadhogs to pick from, we’ve looked up the five fastest cars and what you need to unlock them.
