Need for Speed: Most Wantedįormats: PS2, PSP, Xbox, Xbox 360, Gamecube, GBA, Nintendo DS, PC Since then, the majority of Need for Speed games released have also featured open worlds. No longer did you just select events from a menu – you had to actually drive to them. More importantly, Underground 2 was the first Need for Speed game to feature an open world. To progress through Underground 2‘s career, you needed to not only tune what was under your car’s hood, but also make it visually appealing, too. What really captured players imaginations, though, was the emphasis placed on car customisation.

With all events taking place at night, Need for Speed: Underground 2 continued the story that its predecessor started. Though it was Underground 2, released the following year, that really had the most impact on the future of the series.

No doubt inspired by the success of 2001’s The Fast and the Furious, the Need for Speed series truly took the action to the streets in 2003 with Need for Speed: Underground.

Need for Speed: Underground 2įormats: PS2, PSP (2005), Xbox, Gamecube, GBA, Nintendo DS (2005), PC While the PC version was said to have the most realistic handling of any Need for Speed game upon its release, the handling for the PlayStation version was very arcadey. Like High Stakes / Road Challenge, the PlayStation version of Porsche Unleashed / Porsche 2000 was pretty different from its PC counterpart. Though they didn’t look as good as the cars, which were meticulously detailed. It featured a wide range of Porsche models released between 19, and they could be driven on picturesque tracks that really did look great at the time. Need for Speed: Porsche Unleashed, known as Need for Speed: Porsche 2000 in Europe, was a Need for Speed game that unsurprisingly only featured Porsches. Need for Speed: Porsche Unleashed / Porsche 2000 Some modes that were in the PlayStation version weren’t in the PC version, either. The PlayStation version inexplicably looked better than the PC version for one, and also had better physics. While the game was released on both the original PlayStation and PC fairly close to each other, they had some pretty notable differences. The most interesting of the new modes was High Stakes though, in which players could bet their cars in duels. Vehicle damage and customisation were just two of the new features added, and on the mode front there was a new career to go at. The fourth Need for Speed game, Need for Speed: High Stakes – also known as Need for Speed: Road Challenge in some territories – is notable for the host of new features and modes it brought to the series. Need for Speed: High Stakes / Road Challenge You wouldn’t want to play it today, but in 1994, The Need for Speed was the game for car fans. The icing on the cake was detailed information about each real-life car present in the game, including videos. And police pursuits played their part, too. Needless to say it was a hit.įeaturing both circuit and point-to-point races, players had to avoid traffic while speeding to beat their opponents. Its visuals were amazing, its sound design was equally as good, and working with Road & Track, EA tried to make each car handle as realistically as possible.

Upon its release in 1994, The Need for Speed was a revelation. These games are why we love the series, and want it to return to its former glory. Until then, however, lets look back at the best Need for Speed games of all time. With it set to release later this year, there’s not long to wait until we find out, either. And now we’re hoping that the next entry goes even further to put the series back in the spotlight. With 2017’s Need for Speed Payback being one of the lows for the series, we’re glad that 2019’s Need for Speed Heat was a marked improvement. But one thing has pretty much remained constant throughout though: exhilarating police chases. While the first Need for Speed was a racing game with serious handling (at the time, anyway), newer iterations have been happy with simply providing spectacle. It’s no secret that the Need for Speed series has had its ups and downs over the years. What are the best Need for Speed games? As racing game fans, it’s a question we often ask ourselves.
