Need for Speed Most Wanted (2005) was the best for police chases imo. One thing I can't stand about this generation of consoles is that my expectations were that for a game like this, we would get Need for Speed Most Wanted (2005) or either Underground games - but with 10 years worth of additions. Instead, it seems like while the graphics are better, and the FPS increased - there are so many features in a lot of games this generation that are not included but were included in these games 10 years ago. Instead of adding more, making police chases better (it's been 10 years!), more cars, more parts, etc., it's actually less. Less cars, less parts, the police, etc. I just don't really get it. I really am enjoying this game - but to think over 10 years they could have added so much more. DLC is also really hurting console gaming in my opinion. Anyway, just my 2 cents...
I find that the level 4 police chases are a bit of a challenge, but not too difficult if you're on a highway with a fast car. Level 1 and 2 are a joke. You have to continually turn around to keep them chasing you for a few minutes if you want to build it up to higher levels. Could be much better.
This generation of games, developers number one priority is graphics, Preorders, and DLC. Not the most important part GAMEPLAY, CONTENT, and STABILITY. They would rather sacrifice the gameplay, content, and stability for the graphics cause people will think "Oh the graphics are so good I'm going to preorder this!". Sooner or later, this won't be true anymore. People will hopefully realize what's going on and backlash and boycott.
Old games had more love put in to them when the internet wasn't so big. If your game wasn't really good, it would fail. I wish that was true today. Instead, companies just overhype the public with a bad game that cannot fail because they already have your money through pre orders. IMO, there needs to be another video game crash like the one in the 80's. After the crash, amazing games will return.
