Need for Speed: Edge

Need for Speed: Edge is a racing game in the series designed for online competition. There is a large selection of sports cars at your disposal, as well as several modes, including speed races and knockout competitions. Vehicles vary in class and characteristics, and upgrades allow you to gradually strengthen them. The races take place on different tracks, and each has its own difficult sections. Opponents are real players, so tactics depend on their driving style. In addition to racing, there are modes with additional conditions and tasks that allow you to earn money for equipment. The design is modern, the presentation is cheerful. The modes differed from each other: in some the first one won, in others the losers were eliminated right during the race. The improvements gave a gradual increase in performance, and the difference between the stock and pumped car was strongly felt. Quests and rewards promoted progress, opening access to more expensive cars. The presentation was upbeat, with an emphasis on competition between live players rather than solo playthroughs. The further fate of the project depended on the servers, so now it is mainly remembered from the recordings of the races. Improvements were made gradually, so at the start the car behaved modestly. A significant proportion of the tasks were designed for the company, which was unusual for racing projects of that time. Improvements were purchased with in-game currency, and this encouraged repeat races. For those who like online racing with a large fleet of vehicles, the Need for Speed: Edge is interesting.
