Need for Speed World was released in 2010 by Electronic Arts and was developed by Quicklime Games. The download of the game was free, while the title was based on micropayments.
The Gameplay
In the game, you play as a driver who works in a big city. The game world consists of several cities, which the players had the opportunity to see and explore in the previous titles of the Need for Speed series: Need for Speed: Carbon and Need for Speed: Most Wanted. The city is divided into several different districts, where you can find different places of interest. You can compete against a living opponent or play against a computer. Everything depends on your choice. There are several game modes available, including a classic lap race. The currency in the game is the money and reputation points which allow you to develop skills as the driver, buy a new car or upgrade the one you already have.

The Mechanics of Need for Speed World
The gameplay is similar to that of Need for Speed: Most Wanted. Police chase systems and driving physics are very similar in both titles. In Need for Speed World, you can use different power-ups, that can, for example, add a new lap or stop the race immediately. They can also make the person in the first place in the race to start to attract traffic. There are other possibilities as well.
There is a high level of interaction between the players. When driving across the city, you can challenge others, talk to each other, or join the available races together. There are also chases with the police, which will happen once you hit the police car.
Who Needs Need for Speed World?
The game is aimed at all players who love the adrenaline rush and car chases. The title also provides a lot of fun with its new car development and tuning.
How to Download Need for Speed World Offline 1.3
Unfortunately, on April 15, 2015, Electronic Arts announced that it will be shutting down the game servers, due to a small number of players interested in the game. Also, the ability to purchase SpeedBoost points in the store and to register new accounts was blocked. Eventually, the servers were disabled on July 14, 2015. It’s a pity because the game was a good and free racing title. After the servers were closed, a modification of the game was created that did not require the players to connect to Electronic Arts servers. The download of the mod was also free.
