the best need for speed game also best arcade racer

Fantastic and fun arcade style racer that focus on street racers and law enforcement. Minimal narrative, just enough to frame the context of events. A small variety of event types are all fun, and the events progress with a nice balance of track familiarity and progressive disclosure. None of the contemporary nonsense that spoils racing games. Graphics still hold up nicely, sound is immersive, and controls strike a good balance between responsiveness and ease. One for the ages.

Turned into a repetitive hassle after unlocking the Sport class
