o último nfs da era raíz e definitivamente o melhor dessa época. uma lista respeitosa de carros, pistas com paisagens exuberantes e bem feitas, as duas campanhas são viciantes e a IA da polícia é muito bem feita e desafiadora. jogava muito na minha infância e continuo jogando até hoje! mas há um detalhe: se for jogar, jogue a versão de playstation 2. as outras versões do game são mt inferiores, a do ps2 é a única que presta mesmo.
Something has happened to your world
Can you imagine you could
There's too much pressure on you now
Why would you ever throw away
What's been given to you
Wake up and nothing's even there
Now you're falling too far away
It is hard
Sit inside your wall of shame
Believing what's forgotten
You make it hard to find the world
Sit inside your wall of shame
And nothing even matters
What can you say but I'm to blame
When trouble lingers on you mind
You wait, but dig in deeper
There's no more room for honesty
Breathe in the vapors of your lies
Just when you're choking on them
These thoughts are spinning around your head
Now you're falling too far away
It is hard
Sit inside your wall of shame
Believing what's forgotten
You make it hard to find the world
Sit inside your wall of shame
And nothing even matters
What can you say but I'm to blame
Now you're falling too far away
It is hard

The biggest drawback to this game is its padded length. Some of the later events consist of 24 laps of racing. It doesn't help that there are two separate campaigns. After I finished the Hot Pursuit campaign, I considered the game finished. There was no way I was going to go through the same experience in the World Racing campaign, minus the police chases.
Other than that, the game itself holds up really well - especially the PS2 version. The handling model feels a little heavy at first, but it doesn't take long to get used to it.
The tracks are the absolute highlight. They are fun to drive around in and there are plenty of shortcuts to take. I wish the series would ditch the open world and go back to this track model.
As for the police chases, they are fun, but the cops have a massive advantage over the racers. They have infinite speed boosts, can set up roadblocks and call in helicopters to carpet bomb everyone on the road. As a racer, you have no way to defend yourself. I'm glad they've addressed this in the newer games.
Overall, I'd still recommend it to fans of the series, and fans of racing games in general. Just don't feel compelled to sit through the padded campaign.

Great soundtrack, not so good progression, one of the best driving physics in the franchise. It is arcade, but not too arcade. It is just, fun to play. The most frenetic game of the franchise with hyper aggressive cops. The campaign drags a little too much, forcing you to finish everything to see some lackluster final cutscene. Overall, good game.

Ya gotta flicky flicky flick flick flicky flick yo tongue,
Ya run it straight across her belly through her cooch and down her bum,
You could be the pony boy you could be the one,
You drive it like a semi to the setting summer sun,
Gettin' off just like the traffic at the local exit ramp,
Notice that the weather in the region getting damp,
Ya want to mail the letter,
Ya gotta lick the stamp,
Not once not twice,
But three times damn!

The big 'ol bouncin' boobies give your grandpa heartattack,
You run it through the front door but you leavin' through the back,
You jumpin' over fences and you almost rip your sack,
You suckin' down the juices like your favorite flavor tang,
The lover aborigine the baby boomerang,
The coochie be the kryptonite and you be supermang,
Wassup cussup now dizza dizza wang!
See that!

A solid racer but a bit repetitive, Need For Speed gracefully jumps into the PS2 generation with fairly detailed cars, large tracks, and a great sense of speed and weight to everything. The career progression gets a bit repetitive before it's over as you're asked to drive on the same dozen tracks again and again, but the faster cars feel different and you can hop between the regular racing and the Hot Pursuit mode (where you evade the police). It gets a bit brutal with the amount of rubber banding the AI employ, as well as how random some of the elements of the police go. The soundtrack is alright but it's shorter than some of the actual races you have to do by the end. It all looks fairly good though, especially for early PS2. It comes together into a fairly neat package and it definitely is worth a playthrough from this era.
If you are planning to play this game, PLEASE play/emulate the PS2 version, it's objectively the superior version of the game.
For Blackbox's first NFS entry, it's not too shabby! Their signature handling model which got carried over to Underground and onwards is clearly there and boy it still feels good! It's also the first NFS with licensed soundtrack, There's still a song by Rom Di Prisco present. Overall the songs are great but I wish the EATRAX would shuffle them properly...
The map design was very nice and their implementation of shortcuts was something fresh.
Some odd things about is that there's clearly a damage model to a point that smoke would come out of the car but I have not yet encountered a case where the car would get totalled (if it's such a thing in the first place.)
Another thing is that the roadblocks are very weird. Even the SLIGHTEST contact with either the police car or the barriers would completely stall your car for a few seconds.
Also I get the fact that Helicopters can throw explosive barrels but I can't remember them shooting rockets at you? The non-ps2 version would also only drop one barrle with each instance instead of 1.
Also don't bother with the Ultimate Racer, which is pretty much races minus the cops.
The end-game races also tend to get tideously long.
