Need for Speed: Rivals

Players assume the role of both cops and lawbreakers in Need for Speed: Rivals, which is the inaugural outing of Ghost Games, the rebranded EA Gothenburg studio in Sweden. Ghost Games is made up of talent moved over from UK-based Criterion Games, best known for its work on the Burnout series and the shooter Black, along with former DICE staff. The game is set in Redview County, where a street racing rivalry between cops and racers never stops, and both sides compete in an all-out war with the fastest cars, mods and technology in a gritty open road environment. Players choose to play as either a cop or a racer, and each side of the law has its own set of high stakes challenges, rewards and consequences. The game was developed by Ghost Games and Criterion Games and published by Electronic Arts in 2013. It is a racing and adventure game with an open world, played from a first-person or third-person view, and it has single-player, multiplayer and co-op modes. It was released for the PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, Xbox 360, Xbox One and PC, and the online servers for the PC version are no longer available.
