    El juego aún sigue siendo bueno aunque pasen los años, lo que me molesta es que no tiene apoyo de la compañía

    Классика Need For Speed, одна из лучших игр серии, и это правда. Игра не затянута, гонки динамичные, машины крутые и конечно же, хороший сюжет. Я бы поставил 10, но... На дворе 2020, и что бы поиграть в НФС не через опу, нужно поставить 100500 модов. Я бы сделал ремейк, но это EAКлассика Need For Speed, одна из лучших игр серии, и это правда.

    Car feels a bit too glued to the road, those police cars speed as if they have ion engines, you ram them into something and 2 seconds later they are at 200km/h again.

    Best racing game I've ever played. It's dated on its graphics (now, 15 years after its launch), but the gameplay and story is still really fun

    Best NFS ever. Nice physics, world, music and plot.
    Also it nice sandbox(but NFSU2 better anyway in this regard), pursuits really exciting.
    Waiting for remaster:)

    Until recently, I didn't like this game, I was a long time fan of the series and I've played every single title in the series from NFS 1 to NFS:UG, I skipped on UG2 and MW because I hated the idea of a story based racing game. So I didn't play it. But I've got to say, this game is something. I actually enjoyed this game, a lot. It didn't feel outdated in anyway.

So I didn't play it. But I've got to say, this game is something. I actually enjoyed this game, a lot. It didn't feel outdated in anyway. In fact, it was a breath of fresh air after playing the trash what NFS Payback and Heat were. The story doesn't interfere in the gameplay at all, the story is believable and isn't like Payback where we are cops who are chasing after criminals. The story nicely blends in with the gameplay. The racing feels good, the graphics are great but I've seen some games which look nicer than this and came out before it, or it could be just the fact that I am not a big fan of the greenish-yellow tint. The setting and atmosphere is great. And lastly the cop chases, they are a massive upgrade over NFS:HP2. The only issue I sort of had was the optimization, as I faced micro stutters on my modern gaming PC and the lack of proper controller support.

    Overall this is a great game, and I had fun with it. I feel bad for not playing it earlier, when it was popular. Now I can see why people consider this to be the best NFS title ever, and I can agree with that, although for me, its not the best NFS game, but one of the best. I will recommend this game to anyone who wants a racing game for their low end PC.    … Expand

    First when i play this game was demo right in 2005. For me was the first racing game with storyline. This game was amazing, songs, cars, game-play.

    One of the best racing games ever made. Not as good as NFS Underground but definily worth to play.

    Все еще лучшая игра в серии. Отличные погони с полицией, возможность выиграть машины противников и качающий саундтрек.

    this game is so long and monotonous that half the game I lost interest in it. Really, it puts pressure on the brain. And the car fleet is very poor

    Ok let me say this is a fantastic game all the i get my ass handed to me a lot in this game by cops there was even this one time where i hit a pursuit breaker and ended up hitting spike strips. On rare occasions did i ever beat heat level 5 cops. Thought you can turn difficulty settings to easy,medium,or hard in career mode? Well the answer is no. I would give this a 7 but im going to beOk let me say this is a fantastic game all the i get my ass handed to me a lot in this game by cops there was even this one time where i hit a pursuit breaker and ended up hitting spike strips. On rare occasions did i ever beat heat level 5 cops. Thought you can turn difficulty settings to easy,medium,or hard in career mode? Well the answer is no. I would give this a 7 but im going to be generous and give this one an 8. The Turning sometimes make me feel like im drifting on ice while my car is covered in oil. The Drag races are very annoying.I keep crashing into things because the handling is sloppy. There was very little effort put into having the ability to control how your car turns. Winning in this game gets outrageously difficult. I can’t even beat the story mode without modding the game files. Also when you get busted and you completed a milestone you will have to complete that milestone again until you get away from the cops after you’ve completed that milestone. You will probably eventually lose your sanity for 3 hours if you’re not patient so i would recommend this to gamers who have a high level of patience.I tried to do what i could to beat this game but now this game has as little hope as possible. Like i said before if you do not have a lot of patience to beat milestones in this game then do not even bother otherwise you might turn into vincent vangogh when he was mentally insane except you wont have as great as art skills as he did. But hopefully you understand this review as a warning so you do not lose your sanity and eventually end up in the mental ward.… Expand

    best racing game.
    let the graphics not be the same, let me go through it many times, but it’s really divine.
    Yes, maybe the game is a little long, but it is very interesting, and how many people still use this BMW in different parts of "need for speed". So to speak forever in the heart.

    Same game as Underground 2, with addition of Black List mechanic and races in daylight.
    Still playable to this date :)

    Este juego esta muy bien, pero es un port bastante cutre de la version de PS2 con glitches, ralentizaciones, crasheos y sin soporte para pantalla panoramica,buenos efectos y pantalla dividida. Sin contar todo eso, el juego es el mismo.

    The stylistic presentation and graphic sensibilities are impressive, and they're complemented by excellent engine sound effects and smart cop chatter.

    The nod back to the cop chase mechanics of the Hot Pursuit games is certainly welcome, plus it's interesting to see that the vaunted "open" gameplay of the last two games has been dialed down by a more forcibly linear structure to keep things interesting.

    Making a name for youself by climbing the game's Black List, aka series of bad-ass mo-fos you must beat, is good fun.
