I loved this game and Hot Pursuit. If you started a race with many laps, and 1 or 2 opponents in hot pursuit mode, chances were your opposition would get busted 3 times before the end of the race, thus eliminating them completely. So you could win a race just by driving the speed limit, and cops wouldn't mind you at all.
I wish they would do a modern remake of this. I loved the fact that you had to repair your cars so it would actually incentivize you to not to do things like smashing into a wall to help your corner.
This game makes me remember my childhood, the good old days. Even though I was terrible at video games, I will always remember waking up at 6 AM, getting on my ps one, and playing games like this and Crash bandicoot for hours.
This is game legend... eeeeeeeeeh MY MOST FAV NFS 32 BIT OF ALL TIME!!! Everything was so perfect about this game... The menu music, game music, the game play, the graphics... After this Porche 2000... ^^
@@battlefield4net_yxxx823 yeah but they were drivable like nothing in NFS high stakes if you damage you car enough times then the engine will make a BACKFIRE noise while the engine struggles very badly to get the car up to speed in other words , your car will drive very slow and you will also have a horrible time trying to make your car turn without going straight into a obstacle, oh and also your car will stay damaged until you actually get the car repaired which will cost you your earnings
This was my first pc game , i still have the installation disk, but it does not work T_T, im looking for downloadable versions of it, i wanna play it again..
This brings back so memories. This was the first Need For Speed I've ever played and owned. looking back at it, I must say, it looks and sounds really good!
I think the helicopter in this is more like the real thing. Because unlike Hot Pursuit 2, Hot Pursuit(2010). Those games the helicopter drop stuff in your path(exploding barrels, shoot missiles, drop spike strips)
I remember being like 3 or 4 and my dad would play this on his computer. I think my brother and I scratched the disc? So by the time we got a playstation, my dad bought the ps1 version. 😂
YOU TOO?! OMG! ANOTHER PERSON ON THIS EARTH KNOWS WHAT THE BEST NFS IS! Man I used to play this game for SOO long.... You sure do know how to pick your games, because this is by far the best of them all!
i know this is lame to say, but i wish ea didnt attempt to improve need for speeds graphics and gameplay after 2001... I liked them the way they were before ;'( So many good memories I had..
I can't remember if I had Hot Pursuit or High Stakes for the PS1 but it was one of them that the cops chase you. I remember feeling like I was a bad ass running from the cops and felt like I got to speed so fast they can't get me. Fun times.
Days when you could play Need For Speed on Split Screen with your mates... Sadly those times are history right now :( I was hoping that in Hot Pursuit (2010) it will be available to play on Split Screen mode but there was no such option :(
Beautiful! The best NFS games ever! Better than the Initial D, wangan midnight, fast & the furious, & Asphalt 8, the NFS still the best, addictive racing games ever! Like no other!! NFS,worlds class:-)
I agree with you about Vista and 7, sure some of the options are good, but sacrificing some of my favourite old games for the privilege doesn't seem worth it sometimes.
i just find that older games actually had more gameplay to it. they were a challenge...and actual GAME. nowadays its all graphics and its almost like watching a movie...which is sorta cool in a way, but i would just watch TV if i wanted that. i still play Doom 1 to this day because i still havent played an FPS better than it except for maybe Unreal Tournament. and there's almost NO story to those games. run around and shoot. but its so well made and fun. i played Halo 4 and it was easy andboring
Try checking around for patches, your copy probably only has software graphics support by default. I had to do the same to get it to use my video card.
wut? it won't work on windows 7? :P damn i remember when i played this game on my ps1,it was awesome. It was one of my fav ps1 games back then. ...ah the memories :]
Also, on a serious note, why do you complain about how Windows Vista and 7 won't run High Stakes? I managed to get High Stakes to run on my shitty Windows 7 rig just fine, with little to no crashes at all! Heck, getting High Stakes to work on XP was much more of a pain than on 7...

This game and the movie Goldeneye made me want to own a BMW Z3. When I actually got to sit in a Z3 I was like "What is this, a car for ants?!"
+Adam Demeter (Agginon) Tomorrow Never Dies had a 7 series, not M5.
***** Did you not read what I just wrote? There is no M5 in Tomorrow Never Dies. It was a E38 7-series. 7-series and M5 are totally different cars.
This game made me fall in love with the E39 M5. Now I own an E39... not an M5, but maybe one day :D
@@dvrz had a E39 too long time ago. Lovely car.
I wish they would do a modern remake of this. I loved the fact that you had to repair your cars so it would actually incentivize you to not to do things like smashing into a wall to help your corner.
Yeah it’s a great mechanic. I’d love to play a remake of this
R.I.P. NFS 1994-2002
Have you been in a coma for 12 years?
No, the real NFS died in 2002. All this ricer bullshit annoys me.
***** customizing car are for improving speed and handling now.
The thing is you don't need improve Lambos, Ferraris, Porsches etc
***** yup.
This game makes me remember my childhood, the good old days. Even though I was terrible at video games, I will always remember waking up at 6 AM, getting on my ps one, and playing games like this and Crash bandicoot for hours.
I thought I was the only one that did this :D

1999 - NFS High Stakes: cars get damaged.
2017- Latest NFS and other racing games: not a single scratch!
Tho most wanted 2012 had scratch and even crashed. ProStreet also did
@@battlefield4net_yxxx823 yeah but they were drivable like nothing
in NFS high stakes if you damage you car enough times then the engine will make a BACKFIRE noise while the engine struggles very badly to get the car up to speed
in other words , your car will drive very slow and you will also have a horrible time trying to make your car turn without going straight into a obstacle, oh and also your car will stay damaged until you actually get the car repaired which will cost you your earnings
fargeeks yep, good explanation, and the windows could break too and the Car could set on fire
😄
"Go ahead"
Oh nice. love the music in the background!
This was my first pc game , i still have the installation disk, but it does not work T_T, im looking for downloadable versions of it, i wanna play it again..
As a kid could never finish this race
when needforspeed use to be at its best
This brings back so memories. This was the first Need For Speed I've ever played and owned. looking back at it, I must say, it looks and sounds really good!
This game was very arcade like and had many unique tracks and locations.
I think the helicopter in this is more like the real thing. Because unlike Hot Pursuit 2, Hot Pursuit(2010). Those games the helicopter drop stuff in your path(exploding barrels, shoot missiles, drop spike strips)
a 100mph down the mountain with a Porsche! Damn that was so good :D!
I remember being like 3 or 4 and my dad would play this on his computer. I think my brother and I scratched the disc? So by the time we got a playstation, my dad bought the ps1 version. 😂
Between this game and Gran Turismo 2, my 15 year old inner car enthusiast was in heaven. I wish this game would make a HD comeback.
Best NFS ever...
Here, here
My most liked NFS of all time. Man, i had so much fun with that game. especially the online mode an the custom mods (like new cars and Tracks)
YOU TOO?!
OMG!
ANOTHER PERSON ON THIS EARTH KNOWS WHAT THE BEST NFS IS!
Man I used to play this game for SOO long....
You sure do know how to pick your games, because this is by far the best of them all!
Probably one of the funnest games I'v ever played. And all I did in my childhood and teenage life was play games.
DA FUNNEST
Anyway how does one run this on Windows 7? :C
Very respectable racing skills
Loved the mechanic of hopping from one police car to another.
"But care and effort are traits that are dying out VERY quickly." Amen to that.
My first ever nfs game loved it on my windows me and the graphics until this day are the best
I remember my childhood! That was one of the first games I ever played and I remember hating Porsche Unleashed.
Like old times :')
Dem graphics. Most PS2 games don't look this good, and this one was released in the PS1 era.
RI.P. master race, RI.P. NFS
This is the PC (3dfx / OpenGL) version.
DreddMeister No shit Sherlock.
"and this one was released in the PS1 era"
I'm sure most people will assume that you were referring to the PS1 from this comment.
DreddMeister Then why aren't they? You're the only one who made that assumption. It's called *being a dumbass*.
Because nobody cares? I was just clarifying for anyone who does.
i know this is lame to say, but i wish ea didnt attempt to improve need for speeds graphics and gameplay after 2001... I liked them the way they were before ;'( So many good memories I had..
The track designs. They were amazing.
Béla Bá OH Yah
Béla Bá I agree
definitely agree.
Béla Bá yes they were

1999 was a great year for games and music. And also movies like "The Matrix." I wish i was 19 again. Oh and silent Hill.
Those graphics are pretty amazing and those are some tight ass roads
amazing old game ..... i miss to this )

Brings back memories...
Much better than today's nfs and all of the racing games today, these days racing games are boring...
Roll the dice what a song!
The most difficult line in High Stakes and my favority prosche 911
This is awesome.
This was my fav NFS game
Woah, I love this game! I have it.
The feelings with this game were the better of all NFS games. Plus in this NFS4 there is the best NFS track of all time in my opinion, Liquid Plasma.
one of the best need 4 speeds
good lord the nostalgia :')
yes very awesome
I sure miss those regular roads without extra 12 lanes in left and right direction.
your driving is pretty good
Nice Driving Homy
and the tunes!
this game is beautiful
My favorite race
That looks awesome, why do people prefer the better graphic version anyway? this looks just as good
Nostalgia in my pants.
Ahh the good old days.
Old is always good.
I mis those days.
Hot Pursuit 2 was awesome too. :o
2:46 Upside down tree =D
I fucking loved Need for Speed III: Hot Pursuit for the PS1.
i just find that older games actually had more gameplay to it. they were a challenge...and actual GAME. nowadays its all graphics and its almost like watching a movie...which is sorta cool in a way, but i would just watch TV if i wanted that. i still play Doom 1 to this day because i still havent played an FPS better than it except for maybe Unreal Tournament. and there's almost NO story to those games. run around and shoot. but its so well made and fun. i played Halo 4 and it was easy andboring
the thing you mean is called Expansion Pack. Google for Iplounge and you'll find a site for high stakes online racing. There are still people online!
Mario Bross, Gta San Andreas, Nfs Underground 2 , NFS Most Wanted , DUDE COME ON!!! Oldies wins
0:32 AHHHH GHOST COP CAR!!!!!! RRRUUUNNNN!!!!
That's an interesting looking Diablo...
👏👏👏👏👏👏
Of course it does run on Windows Vista and 7...Just PM me if you wanna play it on 7...I've heard yesterday it's tested on Windows 8 too
this track was hard af
I need to play this again!
Good times, the best NFS in my opinion.
And there are Windows Vista/7 patches for the game, Im using them myself.
Oh God the ending :D Almost shat a brick.
I think that track is featured in Need For Speed 3; Hot Pursuit, not Need For Speed; High Stakes.
If I wanted to play high stakes with a similar career mode these days, how would I do that? Is there a modern equivalent or a rerelease?
@Mynameisnotooo
either that, or they are chasing Ace Ventura :p
Driver
what OS are you running this on ?
thank you
why do I remember it looking way better than shown in the vid!!!??????
Abdullah Al-Zoobi try recording gameplay and upload it to youtube and tell me if it looks the same
Rose-tinted glasses. Hell, I remember Destruction Derby 2 on the PS2 being photorealistic.
Abdullah Al-Zoobi the games that lol photorealistic today won't in 15 years.
This Was my Fav. NFS Game but i cant play it anymore.. My CD Broke while playing
Do you need to win races to unlock summit or do you need to download something?
+GTGamer5 In NFS 4 it includes all the NFS 3 tracks but yes you have to unlock them all, or use the unlock all tracks cheat.
County is fucking busy with all the chatter XD
A bit of work and know how, and i've got it working on my windows 7. And yes, my favorite racing game ever
Does it work on windows 7??please answer... :(
It's funny how the police already need a roadblock not even a minute into the race. :p
Nice. 3DFX emulator?
Why is the graphics pixelated on mine? I have need for speed road challange (exactly the same, just in britain), but the graphics is pixelated.
Try checking around for patches, your copy probably only has software graphics support by default. I had to do the same to get it to use my video card.
for pc? if yes, try enabling 3D acceleration. you're probably running it in software mode.
***** ***** I've found out why my graphics is so bad.... I don't have the expansion pack. Thanks, anyway.
wut? it won't work on windows 7? :P damn i remember when i played this game on my ps1,it was awesome. It was one of my fav ps1 games back then. ...ah the memories :]
ah, brings back memmories :)
does high stakes belongs to hot pursuit series?
the best need for speed game in history if they remake it got to be a good remake not a shit hot pursuit style remake
Fuck yeah old NFS:HP
Подскажите друзья ! Как сейчас установить эту игра на Windows 7 ?
This is NFS3. I remember Summit being the final track
So sick lol
We can play just cause 2 on 7 and also high stakes.
I play high stakes all the time on 7! Like peepeevagi said its all in the game files
The driver kind of reminds me of Hank Hill...
Infancia...
Also, on a serious note, why do you complain about how Windows Vista and 7 won't run High Stakes?
I managed to get High Stakes to run on my shitty Windows 7 rig just fine, with little to no crashes at all!
Heck, getting High Stakes to work on XP was much more of a pain than on 7...
How is this gor the ps1 this is iphone graphics(without retina display) this is great!
So what are you running it on?
A device.
