Need For Speed World
"Need for Speed World is the FREE to play online racing game where you decide how to play in a massively multiplayer world. Connect with friends or race against the world as you rise through the rankings. Race the very latest cars or relive classic NFS moments with the ever-expanding car list. Stamp your identity on the cars with an endless combination of paints and liveries"
Need for speed world grabs the maps of NFS Most wanted, Carbon and (soon) Undercover and combines them into a massive playable area.
------------------------
I've been playing this game since the closed beta back last year and I still love it, there's things to suit everybody like;
Free Roam by yourself or others
The old Pursuit system from Most Wanted is back
Sprints
Circuits
Photo areas
Spot the devs (Win a epic car, rare contest)
Visit the golf course from most wanted, its now covered in snow and has ski ramps! :D
Daily Treasure Hunt
So that's the basics, I'll explain the basis of each event
Pursuits
Before a recent update, AI Cop cars sprawled the roads in free roam, all you had to do was ram them in order to initiate a pursuit. This was proven to be a pain in the arse as the AI can be very buggy in a open lobby. Therefore it now has its own event, simply join one from the ingame map and you'll be put into a singleplayer version of World with the cops behind you. Five heat levels are present and each have their own difficulty:
Level 1 - Local
Marked Dodge Chargers fairly easy to destroy
Level 2 - County
Marked Dodge Chargers and some sort of matte black police car (Unlicensed)
Level 3 - State
Undercover Dodge Charger Superbee, Undercover black police car, Light Rhino SUV (Charges you head on)
Road Blocks formed of one rhino, 3 dodge chargers
Level 4 - State Tactical Forces
Undercover Cruiser, Heavy Rhino SUV
Spike Strips
More Rhinos charge you head on
Road Blocks formed of Rhinos
Level 5 - Federal
Corvette Z06 Marked Cruiser + All of the above
The other events are pretty self explanatory like Sprint and Circuit
Team Escape
You and three other players are tasked with driving to a set point within a certain amount of time while trying to avoid being busted by the cops. For instance, the objective could be 40,000 ft away and you need to get there in four minutes.

This game can be a great way to pass the time, it features some great maps from battlefield 2 like Gulf of Oman and Back to Karkland.
Although, in order to have any decent chance of competing, you need to spend real cash on good guns. The controls are awful and a joystick is not officially supported.
