It's really unfortunate because it strips Need for Speed Unbound of that perfect action-consequence dynamic from Burnout. Burnout managed it by making analog real-world vehicles, but Need for Speed Unbound won't ever get that luxury. No real-world car manufacturer wants to show their vehicles in a state that would indicate it had been street racing and ran through several billboards, resulting in total devastation of all of its road-legal safety features. Why no destruction feature? Probably licensing agreements. It all feels heavily sanitized and plain. They bobble like a Hotwheels car jumping out of the track spick and span. Your low-ride Aston Martin DB5 with a hot pink decal trim and wheels bigger than moons will remain intact if you plow into a tree at 183 miles an hour.

In Criterion's latest game, however, destruction is pretty much absent. Criterion nailed it and even brought some of it to Need for Speed Most Wanted years later. What you do on the streets with your off-brand car has a real consequence. It's a visual acknowledgment that your cars aren't toys: they are destructible and combustible. In addition, all new features of the more recent Xbox consoles work, including the ability to take screen grabs and record and share video of gameplay.Heck, there is a legendary Crash mode that involves causing as much destruction as possible. The opening screen appears first then the game will load.Īll other aspects and features that would normally be available on an Xbox 360 or Xbox are available on the Xbox One/Series X/S too, including the hub on the former (which can be opened through a simultaneous press of the menu and view buttons on the Xbox wireless controller). When a supported game is started on the machine, the current or last-gen console opens the emulator and, in all regards, the game works as if it was running on an Xbox 360 or 2001 Xbox. The Xbox One and Xbox Series X/S are able to play Xbox 360 and original Xbox games through emulation software that makes your console think it's a last generation machine for the purposes of playing classic games.
