very good game.. way ahead of its time.. insane graphics and the option to play as a cop is just too good. runs at 30fps but can be fixed. just paste the following command at the launch options by right clicking on the game, properties, general, and launch option - (steam fix!) (dont know about origin) -GameTime.MaxSimFps 60 -GameTime.ForceSimRate 60

NFS MW05 and UG2 kids will keep crying about those 2 games being the best in the series, but they never experienced the perfection and beauty of NFS Rivals. I always wanted to play this game, and now i finally got the opportunity to play it for the first time by myself. Deffinetly recommended for lovers of modern Racing Games. It can be considered as a "Remake" of the original NFS Hot Pursuit with free roam, car customization and many more.... 9/10
