NFS Rivals still worth it on Xbox One?

I've just completed Forza Horizon 1 on 360 and loved it and now I'm looking for another arcade-style racer to get for my newly-purchased Xbox One. I really enjoyed Hot Pursuit from 4 years ago and from what I've read Rivals looks similar to HP but with better integrated multiplayer and visuals.

My main worry though is that with the game being released over 18 months ago, is there still an active online community for it? I was surprised at how active FH's community was considering it was released almost 3 years ago but is NFS Rivals still active?

Id say yes. Im not a racing fan but I liked it and only played sp, if you like racing games I think you would really enjoy it

Why not Forza Horizon 2? Waaaay better than Rivals.

I dunno, something a bit different? I assume Forza Horizon 2 is similar to the first one in terms of gameplay?

This.

why not try it with EA Access? you can pay just the monthly fee and get NFS Rivals, and play it the whole month.

How does that work? Do I set that up on Origin or on the EA website?

@Comic_Capers: there's an app on Xbox One called EA Access, you just suscribe and pay the monthly (or yearly) fee and you can play all games featured in the vault.

EA Access would definitely be the best bet. I think you need to stay connected at all times to be able to play any game from Access though.

That won't be a problem as at present I'm living in a house with constant wi-fi access. OK, I will have a look at EA Access, thanks
