However, you have to ‘bank’ these points regularly by returning to your hideout or command centre – failure to do so means that if you’re busted or wreck your car, you lose them. You can choose to be a racer or a cop (and switch regularly) and then earn points for completing objectives. Sadly, there’s no split-screen multiplayer mode for racing a friend when they come round your house – though you can use the Overwatch iPad app to help or hinder one of your mates. It can be distracting when you’re in the middle of completing an objective, but we eventually got used to it.ĪLLDRIVE also means you can complete the game on your own, or with help from a friend. That basically means that at one moment, you can be playing the game’s campaign mode, on your own then the next, you can join up with your friends online and race – all without having to connect to a server and wait. The big new innovation is ALLDRIVE – a feature which EA calls ‘mingleplayer’.

So how does the latest version of cops and robbers fare? We reviewed it on the Playstation 4, but it’s also available for the upcoming Xbox One, as well as the PC, PS3 and Xbox 360. Need for Speed: Rivals is the 20th title in the franchise, and it’s one of the first racing games that we’ve had the chance to try on a next-generation console.
