Need for Speed No Limits review

Need for Speed No Limits ranks fourth and is the strongest street racer built only for mobile. EA's listing calls it the first Need for Speed made just for mobile, from the developer behind Real Racing 3. You race through the city of Blackridge, weave through traffic, hit Nitro Zones, take on rival crews and evade police. Customization is the main draw: EA cites more than 2.5 million tuning combinations, and the garage includes cars from Bugatti, Lamborghini and McLaren. It holds an Editors' Choice badge on the US App Store with 4.7 out of 5 from 400,000 ratings, and Google Play shows 100M+ downloads. The trade-offs are clear in the listing. It needs a constant internet connection, the download is 3.8 GB, and EA discloses paid random in-game items. Purchases start at $1.99 for a Box of Gold. Players who just want quick races can ignore the store, but progression is built around it.
