Need for Speed Heat: Takedown. The Arcade Game.

A playable ROM/PC executable was uploaded back in August 2024 (see thread below to access it). Now we have our hands on NFS Heat: Takedown and analyze it. It's very weird. You'll see what I mean below.

The controls are very basic. The game uses a completely different handling model. It's very drift oriented. It reminds me of Burnout, but saying that *is* insulting Burnout. Bruh, let's move on. It's so weird.

The music is very 90s SEGA Arcade-like which is nice.

There's five cars available to play with. Each car has 6 wraps. Each car has performance stats but they all feel pretty similar to use. Yep there's not a lot else to be said here.

There are five races in total that are played in a Cup format. The races are all ripped from the main NFS Heat PC/Console game. You earn points at the end of each race depending on your position. It all adds up in the end and the highest points user wins.

That's pretty much it. I forgot one thing to mention, it runs in Unity Engine.

How to find it and play it. It's available on Internet Archive. It has fixes included too. Launch it like any other PC executable. Run JoyToKey first then the game.

seems like the game was made in a pre-2021 version of Unity as it uses the old logo/icon instead of the new/current one
