We take a look at the Need for Speed games and pick out the Top 5 from the series.
After nearly three decades of NFS games, here's a list of the best Need For Speed titles that have ever been released in the past years, ranked by The Nerd Stash.
Need for Speed: Most Wanted debuted in 2005, with the Xbox 360 version being the first then next-generation title in the franchise.
This game was awesome! I remember reloading my save if I didn’t get the pink slip from my blacklist rival
Paul writes - "EA know a good thing when they see it, and for multiple years November was Need for Speed month. In a break from the usual routine, I'm going to be looking back at two games here, released in 2005 and 2010 respectively. The earlier game is Need for Speed: Most Wanted, which has the distinction of being one of the very best in the franchise. The second game comes from 2010, and is Need for Speed Hot Pursuit; which I'll talk about just as the Remastered version of the game has hit the stores."
I completely adore this game! In fact its probably my favorite racing game. I recently dusted off my xbox 360 to play Most Wanted 2005. Still a great game, though I do not remember there being such horrible performance. Like massive frame-pacing issues. screen tearing, latency. If any game ever truly needed to be remastered, it this one for sure!
Best: Need For Speed Hot Pursuit 2 for PS2. This is the best one, not your listed. I have played both PC and PS2 versions of this video game and this is far superior, thanks to Black Box developer. They took the game and redesigned it beautifully for PS2. Heck if you have played NFS:Rivals, you have seen a racing track that resembles to desert track of HP2; (airplane, shortcuts, desert...)
This is not fanboyism. I have played other games in the series and none of them don't give me that feeling of upspike challenges and adrenaline. In this game, you can't be certain for the top spot until the very end line of the race. Did you know that you can record and rewatch the race again? How about that to drive a Mercedes CLK-GTR into top spot; that is hardest one.
