Need for Speed post-update review

Need for Speed (2015) has received its first update in a bid to address some issues and take user feedback on board. We've put it through its paces.

The original Need for Speed took to the road in 1994, around the time when developers embraced the idea of full motion video (FMV) computer games. Who would have thought that 20 years later, developers would be experimenting with FMV sequences once again?

Need for Speed isn't the only title in recent months to toy with FMV; Guitar Hero Live is played out entirely through FMV, for example. But while Guitar Hero's approach puts you front and centre, there's something unsettling about the way that Need for Speed's story plays out.
