NeedforSpeedUnbound uses its unique style and strong narrative hook to overcome some repetitive gameplay.

Need for Speed Unbound MSRP $70.00 Score Details “Need for Speed Unbound proves that having a distinct style and cool premise does a lot to elevate a game.” Pros Cons Thinking I was being funny when customizing my first car in Need for Speed Unbound, I gave the refurbished Lamborghini Countach 25th Anniversary car a license plate that said “DTrends.” That joke quickly turned into embarrassment when that car was stolen from me at the end of the game’s prologue.

Dude, where’s my car The main motivation of Need for Speed Unbound is getting your first car back after your foster care sibling, Jasmine, surprisingly betrays you. After a two-year time jump, Need for Speed Unbound follows the player as they earn money and build up credibility in Lakeshore City’s underground racing scene so they can eventually challenge Jasmine in a series of races called The Grand to take the car back.

Players are motivated throughout the four-week day and night cycle as they race to make enough money to participate in each Qualifier and The Grand. I found myself actively wanting to do a lot of racing and car deliveries to earn money while avoiding cops when I had high Heat so I didn’t lose it all. The desire to earn back a car I made and felt an attachment to in the prologue made me stick around to the end.

The game’s creators also chose an excellent setting for that in Lakeshore City, which is heavily inspired by Chicago — a city with a history of street racing and bureaucracy that people want to rebel against. Being from Chicago, I appreciated the references to my hometown and was not frustrated by any inaccuracies for the sake of map design because it’s an original city.

nce you’ve explored the whole map and done most of the races at least once, repeating them five or 10 times isn’t nearly as fun. Most races are linear and don’t go off-road, so it lacks the race variety of a game like Forza Horizon 5. Once you’ve explored the whole map and done most of the races at least once, repeating them five or 10 times isn’t nearly as fun. Alert the cops during the race, and you’ll have to outrun them after the race too.

Frontiers | Dynamic soaring as a means to exceed the solar wind speedFrontiers | Dynamic soaring as a means to exceed the solar wind speedA technique by which a spacecraft can interact with flows of ionized gas in space (the solar wind or interstellar medium) in order to be accelerated to velocities greater than the flow velocity is explored. Inspired by the dynamic soaring maneuvers performed by sea birds and gliders in which differences in wind speed are exploited to gain velocity, in the proposed technique a lift-generating spacecraft circles between regions of the heliosphere that have different wind speeds, gaining energy in the process without the use of propellant and only modest onboard power requirements. In the simplest analysis, the spacecraft motion can be modelled as a series of elastic collisions between regions of the medium moving at different speeds. More detailed models of the spacecraft trajectory are developed to predict the potential velocity gains and the maximum velocity that may be achieved in terms of the lift-to-drag ratio of the vehicle. A lift-generating mechanism is proposed in which power is extracted from the flow over the vehicle in the flight direction and then used to accelerate the surrounding medium in the transverse direction, generating lift (i.e., a force perpendicular to the flow). Large values of lift-to-drag ratio are shown to be possible in the case where a small transverse velocity is imparted over a large area of interaction. The requirement for a large interaction area in the extremely low density of the heliosphere precludes the use of a physical wing, but the use of plasma waves generated by a compact, directional antenna to impart momentum on the surrounding medium is feasible, with the excitation of R-waves, X-waves, Alfven waves and magnetosonic waves appearing as promising candidates. A conceptual mission is defined in which dynamic soaring is performed on the termination shock of the heliosphere, enabling a spacecraft to reach speeds approaching 2\% of $c$ within two and a half years of launch without the expenditure of propellant. The technique may

Speed far above the limit and we'll take your car, Austria saysSpeed far above the limit and we'll take your car, Austria saysDrivers in Austria guilty of extreme speeding will have their cars seized and auctioned off, the government said on Monday, seeking to deter 'boy racers' by threatening to take away their prize possession. The planned change in legislation announced by the governing coalition of conservatives and Greens is aimed at toughening Austria's rules to bring them closer to those in other countries like neighbouring Germany and Switzerland. Specifically, anyone caught driving 60 km per hour (37 miles per hour) above the speed limit in towns, where the speed limit is usually up to 50 kph, or 70 kph above the limit elsewhere, where the limit is up to 130 kph, will have their car seized for up to two weeks, according to the government's plan.
