The highest point of the NFS franchise…
The perfect mix of irreverence and street racing, action and car customization, being the best racer and the most wanted.
Of course people today will think this is far from a good game, probably criticizing the overly ridiculous cop chases, arcade controls, and yellow filter the game has at all times.
And they’re absolutely right.
But there’s something this game has, that none of the newest, more realistic-looking (ish) or complex feeling (ish) NFS games have…
Heart.
And I will always cherish this experience for as long as I can, and it will always be the single best product that came from the classic black box NFS era.
Is it nostalgia?
Absolutely.
Do I care?
Absolutely not.
