The best NFS game ever. For me, the best racing game ever. A young boy who likes cars was always gonna fall for this game.
The game has a surprising decent story, a fun and addicting gameplay loop, and nice progression, both in challenge and your roster of cars.
The music set may be small, but dear god is it catchy, almost two decades on, I still vibe to it sometimes. It also fits really well with the high speed high stakes gameplay.
The wanted system is also very well crafted and maintained, climbing from annoying to holy mother of god. You can lose your cars if you gett busted too often, you can get new cars by beating blacklist racers, the game is very well rounded, thoughtfully crafted and it shows.
The controls are between arcadey and realistic , hitting the right balance and have decent customization for the time the game came out.
Even today, if I had to play a racer, i would choose this one. I must acknowledge that it falls off drastically after the first playthrough (atleast for me) but I absolutely recommend it to anyone who hasnt played it !
