August 4, 2010 - Mediocre - There are certain things the game does right, like providing an incentive to complete a race even when in last place. And, under the right circumstances, the game can be really fun... until you realize you're faced with such a long road to reach the next level and few ways to get there.

August 3, 2010 - Mediocre - Need for Speed World is a competent arcade racing game made by people that know a thing or two about making just those kinds of games. The problem is that it's all very rote, all content we've played before in better games, and all the promise seeded in that term, MMO, goes unfulfilled.

August 13, 2010 - Mediocre - Need for Speed World is a slow crawl toward new tracks and cars, and at this point, its design offers more rewards for players that stick to what's free in lieu of checking out the paid content. The experience becomes a monotonous grind before you get anywhere near the level 10 cap for free players, so put some time in before you slap down 20 bucks.

August 6, 2010 - Mediocre - Need for Speed World is an online racer masquerading as an MMO, where there is really very little player interaction at all. The open world is a glorified queuing system, and there is far too much grinding between upgrades, and far too little difference between the upgrades themselves.
