As Need For Speed games go, I must say....this is the poorest installment.
I'm a racing game fanatic, and have always been a fan of the Need For Speed series, but this one is mightily flawed.
The graphics are average at best, but the videos and information on each of the cars was superb. The graphics and frame rate take a major hit when you go really fast, and actually, the cars at times don't even feel like they're on the ground when driving.
The cars control just okay....but on the more difficult tracks, it is really hard to keep up with the leaders of the pack because it isn't really that easy to take hard turns and hairpins all perfectly like the computer always does.
Being able to drive a Ford GT90 and my dream car, the Jaguar XJ220, is what made me buy this game, but then being able to use them in the game made me really wonder if they should even be dream cars.
Look to Gran Turismo 2 if you want a better selection of excotic cars that are actually controllable.
The sounds of the game are just so-so....all the cars seemingly sound alike when accelerating....and you'll get used to the grating metal sound of nailing walls at high speeds....
The best aspect of this game is the music, quite possibly the best of the NFS series, but when you buy a racing game for the music....that's pretty pathetic.
If you're a fan of the NFS series and HAVE to have every NFS out there, sure, pick this one up for a very cheap price. It's not worth more than 4 or 5 bucks nowadays, so don't pay any more than that.
Die-hard racing fans? Look elsewhere.
Overall, 5 out of 10.
one of the best PS1 games

I got the PC version of this game and its A far cry from the others in the NFS series. The graphics are horrid, the cars are weird not more normal cars like the ferraris or jaguars in the other need for speeds. The cars are hard to control, its way to easy to spin out and crash. The menu controls are hard to use to, for instance most of the options dont have A pull-down menu you have to cycle through all the options. If you want great racing get Need for Speed 3, High Stakes, or Porsche Unleashed.
Great live videos and courses. Problems with analog control

If you like the exotic cars this game may be for you. Opportunites to drive a McLaren, GT90, F50, and Jaguar are exciting. The videos and information on the cars themselves is great as well. Much better than the newer High Stakes version. The game did not operate properly in the two player mode when either controller was set to work in the analog mode. The steering wheel controllers may alleviate that problem, but I do not have one. At this price, it is one of the better racing games out there. I have enjoyed it more than the others.
