Great Car Game

Need for speed is a very fun game once you get the hang of it, but if you have never played it before it might be kind of tricky. The game play in this game are great I love the controls and the turbo its just like any other car game. The one thing that sucks about the controls is that when you turn it is a little sensitive so try nt to turn so much. The Graphics are desant but they could be better. The sound is probably the best part about this game. I mean when you drive with a Lamborghini the engine sounds just like a realy car would sound and I think thats great. Overall this is a great game once you get the hang of it and its really fun to so I am giving it a 4/5.

this is their best game ever. both undergrounds and carbon doesn't even compare to this game and never will. u get to play 49 cars, 30 races and several cop cars. u get to play with a friend. graphics are great. i like some of the music on there. u get to choose your players names(player 1 and 2).

Classic arcade fun!

A real good need for speed game with good controls and physics. The last great NFS game in my opinion, before they switched to the Underground physics. NFS Underground to NFS Carbon all pretty much drived the same. I personally preferred HP 2, plus the tracks suck in the newer games. The physics of HP 2 make it feel like a classic arcade game, easy for anyone to just pick it up and play it than the newer games. Plus it's more fun to run the cops into trees and things in this game.

LOVE IT!

I love this version of need for speed. The cop chases and racing at the same time is awesome. Very easy to control, great sound track. Recommend it to anyone that loves race games.

Unbelievable

To date this is easily the most fun "Need for Speed" title. Totally ungrounded in reality, this game was fun to just turn on and go as fast as absolutely possible!! As low price as this game is now there is NO reason why it shouldn't be in your library of classic games.

How Much I Like NFS Hot Pursuit 2

I like NFS Hot Pursuit 2 because of the cars but I don't like the Hot Pursuit races. They make you stop your racing often because the police throw spike strips, bombs, and other obsticals into the road. I do like the cars though because they are all fancy cars for example Ferraris and Porsches.

Another great game by need for speed

The only thing I do not like about this game are the cops and helicopters because I'm trying to race not get pulled over all the time. However there is just a racing section, just for racing, which I enjoy alot. No cops, just racing and the graphics are really cool. This is another game I pull out often when I want to race. Great game. Tons of races and cars to unlock.

EA has done its best yet!

This game is the best racing game in the world! You get to run from the law and feel good about it.

Pros:
49 awesome racing cars
15 amazing tracks, plus 15 reverse tracks
Heart pounding pursuit chases.
Awesome Matrix cameras, freeze your car for a 360 degrre spin, or watch your car move in slow motion when going off a jump!
Realistic Graphics make you feel like you are really racing there!

Cons:
Annoying cop talk
Really crappy music
Helicopters can drop bombs,missles, and spike bombs!

I highly reccomend this game. No wonder its a PS2 greatest hit!

P.S. here's a cheat code: at the main menu put in R2x2,R1x2,L1x2,triangle x2, to unlock the calypso coast track. (a engine humming, and a message will appear if you get it right)

4.5 rounded to 5

This is a fun game. It gets your heart pounding when the cops are right on your tail. From road blocks and spike strips, to helicopters with explosives and a good ol' police chase, you'll never know what these guys will throw at you. You can win points to buy tracks and cars. This game is easy enough that beginners get a kick out of it, but hard enough that experts will feel challenged.

There are a few things I don't like about this. The campaign doesn't give you the feeling that you are a driver in the need for speed world. (To get this kind of campaign, get Need for Speed: Most Wanted and Burnout 3: Takedown) Also, they make it a bit too easy, with wall steering you back on track, no nitrous to shake things up.

Overall, I am very satsified. Combined with Need for Speed: Most Wanted and Burnout 3: Takedown, all your car racing needs should be met. No wonder this is a classic hit game.

I do have this game, and I love it!! It doesn't have only a few tracks to choose from,it has sooo many!!! My top three favorite cars would have to be the Porsche 911 Turbo,the Mercedes-Benz CLK GTR,and the McLaren F1 LM which is the FASTEST car on the game. It can go 240MPH on some of the tracks!! This game is so realistic. It has real-life cars and songs from real bands that you can buy on CD.I think it is the best NFS game! You can race against other people and against cops. Or you can BE THE COP!!! As you get better they throw bigger challenges at you. And as you get better you unlock new cars and tracks. I just LOVE this game!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
