Default Need for Speed Series

  • The Need for Speed
  • Need for Speed II
  • V-Rally
  • Hot Pursuit
  • High Stakes
  • V-Rally 2
  • Porsche Unleashed
  • Motor City Online
  • Hot Pursuit 2
  • Underground
  • Underground 2
  • Most Wanted
  • Carbon
  • ProStreet

Of these, I own NFS Hot Pursuit, High Stakes, Porsche, Hot Pursuit 2, Underground, & Most Wanted. In terms of racing games, I find the Need for Speed series to be one of the best. Made by EA Games, the physics have always been up to par, graphics are fantastic, and it has Hot Pursuit. Hot pursuit has always been my favorite gametype. My favorite times have been racing across the German countryside in a Porsche 911 Police Pursuit trying to catch a fleeing vehicle.

Anyways, the series has continued to grow obviously, Carbon & ProStreet being the two newest. Carbon didn't impress me as much as I had hoped, but I don't know much about ProStreet.

I liked the old NFS's, because you could be the police and chase cars whereas the new ones are just about racing and can get boring.

Hot Pursuit was the only reason I bought NFS3, greatest mode imo.

Had that game for the PC years ago, had the steering wheel and everything.

Used the top shelf Mercedes. Hot Pursuit mode actually bored me. I preferred pissing off the cops and avoiding them and their blockades at each turn.

Hot Pursuit was the most fun I think I've had in a racing game.

Maybe you should ask the people he actually drives, about how he drives.
