    Was not bad but not perfect either. When NFS2:SE is launched we all understand what is a graphics card support is. By the way even it was just colors, this NFS game has the first vehicle customization option :)

    One of the best racing games of the 90's (and maybe of all time). Good graphics (in 1997 it was good), amazing cars, good tracks. The cheat mode is fun too.

    Первые мои гонки на домашнем ПК, одна из первых игр на CD после покупки привода. Я был в восторге от NFS. Шикарные автомобили, трассы, и крутой саундтрек.

    Plain nostalgia. Back when you paid for a game and that was it. No DLC, No Micro-transactions.

    This game does not stand the test of time and does not represent anything serious. It's just a very cut The Need for Speed. In this game, there are few tracks, cars, and physics has become much more simplified, even in a realistic mode. Therefore, it can be considered a forgotten trash.

    It was a much-needed improvement over the original. The graphics look good for 1997, the music is great, the cars could have looked better but ok, there is no story, not enough cars or tracks in my opinion.
