Gameplay

Need for Speed: No Limits has a heavy focus on street racing, vehicle customization, and avoiding the police.[2][4]

The player must race in "Campaign races" (which is considered the game's story mode), "Car Series races" (where only certain cars may participate to win in-game rewards) and "Rival Races", which are ghost-based multiplayer races. As well, the player can participate in time-limited special events, where the player will be loaned a special car for use in the event. If the player finishes the event before the event time runs out, the player will be able to keep the loaned car as a completion reward.

Most cars in the game can be customized with wheels, body-kits, widebody kits, paint jobs, and wraps, in addition to performance upgrade. Unique cars acquired from time-limited special events (as well as Ferrari cars), however, can never be visually customized.
