Need for Speed: Rivals captures the adrenaline and intensity of the
street's ultimate rivalry between cops and racers in a stunning open
road environment. Built on the Frostbite 3 game engine, Need for Speed
Rivals allows gamers play as either a cop or racer, where each side of
the law has its own set of high stakes challenges, rewards and
consequences. As a racer, the goal is to become infamous for taking
risks behind the wheel and capturing your most intense escapes on video
for the world to see. The more cops players evade, the more Speed Points
they collect, enabling them to unlock new cars and items. Keep raising
the stakes race after race to become an ever-more valuable target to the
cops -- but risk losing it all if busted. As a cop, players work
together as part of a team in pursuit of racers, earning prominence and
rising in the ranks of the Police Force with every bust. Achieving
higher ranks unlocks new police-only cars and more powerful pursuit
tech. At the heart of Need for Speed Rivals is AllDrive, an
innovative new online feature that allows gamers to seamlessly
transition from playing alone to playing with friends, eliminating the
line between single player and multiplayer. Players will have to keep
one eye on their rearview mirror as friends will be able to enter and
exit races on-the-fly, creating a world where no two events will ever be
the same.
