This game became a blueprint for open world racers. Even now, Need for Speed tries to recreate this game's formula to some success (like Need for Speed: Heat) and even did a remake once (see Most Wanted 2012) but failed. The thrill of the police chase truly makes this racing game unlike any other.
I, from the bottom of my heart, love the sepia filter.
This is, hands down, to this day, the best game in the entire series. While the story is laughably cheesy and the progression of the game could get easily repetitive, this game single-handedly has the best gameplay in the entire series. Cars control beautifully, racing is fun, and the cop chases are unmatched by ANY game to this day. A lot of this is nostalgia talking, sure, but even when I replay this game in the modern day, even after speedrunning it so many times - I play this game with a smile on my face. This game is amazing and definitely worth a play.
Carbon better but yeah this shit rocks hard
Absolute hood classic.
Spent all my time running from the cops.
It's a need for speed game in 2005.
Esse foi o maior não tem como todo nele era bom e charmoso. pegar o carro da galera na blacklist era absurdo.
Com certeza o melhor da franquia! O único problema desse jogo é a questão dos scores. Para você se tornar o maior procurado, você precisa de perseguições com nível alto por mais de 45 min (problema é evitar ser pego).
Ill never forget that the Nissan Skyline GT you get for beating the game (the one on the cover) looked like it had worse stats than a tricked out Aston Martin (and alot of cars) but in fact just had a stat screen that was a complete lie and the car was in fact the Batmobile in practice.
The best racing game in the world
Besides the annoying ending because of the jank physics sometimes. It was overall a really fun and good NFS game. You had the sense the speed, engine sounds are amazing and a nice soundtrack
The game's grimy sense of style, alongside a small but focused car list and a presentation style so dated it's almost become a period piece, may turn off some players. But for those with the nose for it, it's an absolute must play for the police chases alone.
Que jogo. Joguei muito na minha infância e lembro de quantas emoções senti andando pelo mapa livremente, participando das corridas, e conquistando novos carros.
Lindas memórias de fugir da polícia de forma épica.

The GOAT!
You have a campaign with objectives, clear instructions, and a beginning and ending. It doesn't get better than that, and the soundtrack is awesome too.
THEN YOU SLOWLY RECALL ON YOUR MIND

Rubberbanding everywhere and cuestionable physics.
All for a bmw? SMH

FIVE GRAAAND.
Repetition starts to set in around the final third of the career's length but man, those police chases never get old and for that alone the game deserves its legendary status.
My first "Need For Speed" i played when it first came out on the Ps2. Climbing up the blacklist while doing some decent races and challenges is very satisfying. The choice of songs also granted this an extra half a star as I proceeded to wack it up higher than the main volume. Only reason I didn't give it a 5 is because I felt like the main races just weren't very challenging in contrast to how difficult some of the bounty missions are to complete. Still probably the most top tier need for speed game to this day change my mind.
Maybe the best Arcade Racing game in terms of Music, map design, diversity and Handling.
me and my homies all love most wanted this shit was grippier than ur moms coochie and it went hardddd
...boy. i sure love racing in piss world
I didn't play this when it was all the hype, but even after all these years it holds up really well.
The driving feels great and the progression is well done. A big plus for me was that you didn't have to complete all the events per rival to advance the story.
Seems like they pretty much addressed all the issues that Underground 1 & 2 had.
I ended up playing this like Midnight Club 2 where I just used the cars I'd won through pink slips. Lots of fun and I can see why it gets so much praise.

Need for Speed Retrospective #9
This game needs to be in the same conversation as Okami and The Wind Waker when it comes to timeless styles. I found myself just roaming around and admiring the view many times, which is quite the compliment for a game old enough to have a drivers license of its own.
Though not as explorable as in Underground 2, the open world is still dense and fun to traverse with plenty to do in each chapter. The game's structure is an interesting choice, its obvious weakness being its repetitiveness. After the first thirty minutes, the remaining 14 chapters become very predictable and can sometimes feel like a slog. Adding to that, the later police chases are very unforgiving and frustrating, as small mistakes will lose you a lot of progress.
Still, a fantastic driving game. You guys were right all along: This is the golden era of NfS.

This game takes everything great about the previous NFS and raises up a notch by adding fun and challenge cops. The story is cheesy but interesting enough for a racing game and the concept of giving a great car at the start of the game and than taking it away is genious. Even if the controls and hit boxes are a little dated it is a must play racing game.

Melhor Need for Speed, mas vc ainda n está pronto para essa conversa
I definitely liked the game more as it progressed, though sometimes the filter hurt my eyes. Its too peak
