I wasn't at all impressed with pro-street, and this game sounds as bad.

feature a deep and engaging story

Oh dear, I wish they wouldn't bother with story lines for racing games. They are generally crappy and end up just being skipped. Maybe they should try actually just making a really solid racing game instead of gimmicky rubbish like celebrity voice acting. In fact it was the annoying commentry on pro-street that made me uninstall it after the first few races.

I agree with you there about Pro-Street.

There's plenty of racers out there which are just about racing. I think it's quite nice having a storyline running alongside it, as long as the racing doesn't suffer.

Having played nearly every NFS in the series I’ve been really disappointed by the recent releases, I really hope it goes back to its roots with this latest iteration!

NFS: Most wanted was the last decent release and that they need to re-focus on what the Need for Speed brand is all about.


Anyone here remember NFS: Hot Pursuit 2... By far the best of the lot, the really it the sweet spot with that one¬!

Good news, I hope they go back to underground2/most wanted style of game, I enjoyed those. pro street was trying to be too relistic. We have enough realistic racers already.

[kalniel]

Nothing will touch porsche unleased.. that was the best (though untypical) NFS game IMHO.

I am amused at the comment of pro-street trying to be realistic though

[digit]

Pro street was far from realistic. I'd personally like for the next need for speed to be something like burnout paradise. The engine is already there, a few tweaks and add car customisation and the jobs a good 'un.

Easily the best. (My mouth was open for at least the first two weeks. )

[Stringent]

They have to do something really good to beat GRID IMO.

I've got that, run it on a legacy machine it's awesome

And as Kalniel said, porsche unleashed was probably the best, that was such a fun game to play

I really enjoyed underground and underground 2 but havn't liked them since then

[Transmitthis]

ProStreet was so terrible, I uninstalled it after an hour (time that I will never get back)
Have gone back to playing Most Wanted And Carbon.
Personally I like NFSU2 and Carbon the best of the series

Not even heard of Undercover - is it for PC?, will go google and see.

[jamesy305]

I agree, ProStreet was bad! Lets just hope this goes back to the times of Most wanted because that NFS was awesome!

[PeterStoba]

Went downhill since underground 2, although most wanted has half decent

[Neo_VR]

I too really enjoy the NFS series except pro-street....
I have some memorable epic police chases too... infact think im going to fire up carbon on the eggbox right now
