Now it's just a racing game with a soulless soundtrack, mediocre gameplay and personality that is tied to what is trending at this time. Heat instantly comes it mind, it's still an okay game overall but... Road and Track - THE Need from speed (1994) from all the way to Hot pursuit 2 (2002) was the golden era of it that have it's own identity and charm put into it. The rest of the games are a hit or a miss for me! More misses in the 2010's by far.
@@haaxxx9 the game was built around showcasing the cars, not really around the story. In that sense, Forza Motorsport 4 was sort-of a spiritual successor to it when they introduced Forza Vista and Jeremy Clarkson's narration for each of the cars.
This game and NFS 3 were the pinnacle this series. After that the game became very arcadey and lackluster. You have a couple every now and then that are worthy games like Most Wanted and the Pro-Street title.
NFS II was already ultra arcade with fancy speeds and physics. First game "The Need For Speed" was a great driving game for 1994-1996. Could even be called a simulator back then.
@@haaxxx9Heat was just fine....so therefore that wasn't a good example at all. If any NFS to make your point to, would be Unbound...and that game already came out around the time you made that comment, so that was still a legit option to mention instead.
This game made me the car enthusiast that I am today. The Mclaren F1 is my favorite car in this game, and the reason I have a crippling BMW addiction (I've owned 7)
HA yes this goes for me too, I was 7 and supercars had totally become my passion since then, and regular cars too..... But that Ferrari F50 remains my favorite car ever till this day.
So nostalgic, the menu music, the explanation of the cars, the graphics. That GT90 still remains one of my favorite cars because of this game. Loved the blue rims and interior. Unfortunately it never came to be. And they had alerts of cars being along side of you back then! Also the XJ220 is a favorite to this day.
@damarfadlan9251Wrong, it was also featured in it's own manufacturers game that's quite underrated actually, it's called Ford Racing. You should definitely check that out...had a whole series of them back in the day and was pretty fun.
These games were made with love, passion and care. That's why they actually look like games and they feel magical. I didn't know how lucky i was. Lotus Esprit and McLaren F1 are my favorites from this game. I like the Ford GT90 too.
This game was the single greatest time i spent with my father as young kid about 4-6yrs old. He was always working but the times we did get to hangout together and play this game gave me lots of joy. And now the nostalgia is killing me. Hearing the music and seeing the cars from back then brings me great joy !!! What a beautiful start to my love for the franchise and my love of being a car and racing enthusiast!
I remember having purchased this game back in 1999 at 17 years old and I thought wow what a graphics what an amazing cars. Music brings back alot of memories. I relive those days. Menu music is so calming. My favourite is of course the one for Ferrari 355. I wanna go back to 1999.
As a kid I also had a detailed silver Jaguar XJ220 model that even showed the engine detail. I absolutely loved it. Sadly I am not sure what happened to it
Still the best racing game ever made imho. Like others have said, back when it was about the cars and the race, not the bs. Every single thing about this game was amazing. The presentation of the cars, the slides, the videos, the play, and then the MUSIC! Been a guitar player and musician for over 40 years, and i swear this game had such an awesome music score! Every single bit of it, from the menu, videos, and course music. Nothing like it
The 90's NFS games treated cars like automotive royalty. They gave you every reason to respect each one of them and no game has captured that tone quite like it since.
NFS2 is (not was) ages ahead in its music composition and its immersion . This is how games should be. The music quality may not be there because of format restrictions but a renewed version of this should be made. This in game music of this game was insane and unparalled and can be a feeder to new forks in compositions.
I have yet to see any modern AAA racing game focus on a few iconic cars and give presentations like these on an up2date standard instead of flooding you with 500+ cars that individually mean nothing to you at some point.
Man I wish the gt90 would've went into production and made at least a few dozen of them. My guess is that it was too expensive to produce at the time??
I watched a video recently and Ford executives shut down the project because they owned both Jaguar and Aston Martin at the time. Therefore, they wanted Jaguar and Aston Martin to be their cornerstone franchises on sports cars rather than Ford in itself.
My greatest hobby was to play the GT90 in this and try to beat the F1, but the F1 was always a bit faster. The two cars were so good but GT90 was easier to handle.
Hello colleague, I liked in play this game '' but There's a problem,how do you do it so the car doesn't skid- at the time of the curve ''what would that secret be? ---- can you make a tutorial teaching how to control the car --- na curva no modo CHAMPIONSHIP ?
When this was uploaded UA-cam didn't remove black bars on 4:3 videos which I thought looked bad at the time. I wouldn't have stretched it if I uploaded it now.
So viel Liebe sollte mal bei aktuellen NFS Spielen eingebaut werden. Entweder so ein Teil oder ein vernünftiger nachkomme von Underground. Dann lieber mehr Zeit lassen und richtig ein Liebhaberspiel raushauen.. Ich hoffe immer noch.. Auch wenns nicht so kommt.
koenigsegg didnt exist say until 2002 when they produced their first car CC, which evolved into CC8S which later evolved into CCX which became the fastest car to dethrone the bugatti veyron and made its debut in the franchise since carbon as a bonus car by any chance you played with a mod which adds a koenigsegg
Lo comprai a 100mila lire, tanto costavano i giochi prima che arrivassero le copie pirata e poi il download illegale...dopodichè tutti i giochi furono gratis. Erano pezzi d'arte, c'era impegno, c'era una storia, era un libro.

There is a guy in the states that privately owns a running
@@honchoryanc yes apparently there's actually 1 or 2 that were functional back in the day. I wish there comes a day when I can see it in person.

Having played this all the time when I was 5 or so, I guess it makes sense why I'm so deep into Trance, hard Techno as an adult.
Dang, I miss this. Was my first PC game in 1999. I loved fighting for lap times with my much older brothers
Same here, my first PC game
This game introduced me to my ultimate dream car even today, the F50.
i have as a kid the jaguar xj220 collection toy. Was amazing

@@TPL-Motorsport Absolutely!
@@TPL-Motorsport it comes close to gran turismo in respect of celebrating automobiles
The design of these cars was ahead of its time.
I don't know what to say but it was our memories specially that sound track 4:03..... Thank you need for speed
Italdesing Cala is Gallardo's father!
And the huracán is the gallardo's brother
I just got to the organ that controls nostalgia
1:07 good old times, when the F1 was just 800k $, now it's more than 20 million $
Jaguar's intro has been one of the best in the NFS2 with one of the best metal riffs in the game.
pathetic experience in tournament,
Awesome bro, keep making videos
Still playing main menu music during long trips.
McLaren F1 technology (and design) is beyond then its time
good old days when Need For Speed was actually ABOUT THE CARS not the cringe shit today.
Amen
I agree
AMEN

By 500+ you mean forza horizon 5 XD
@@kronosbalmond6472exactly. But now its 800 and I care about maybe 50 of them.
Goose bumps.
Cool history vehicles.👍
The real need for speed.
When I firstly played this game I didn't even knew how to speak English yet, god time flies
The DAYS
The most epic intro: Italdesign CALA
Man I wish the gt90 would've went into production and made at least a few dozen of them. My guess is that it was too expensive to produce at the time??

19:22 my farvorite car in game is Jaguar XJ220 because 6 cylinder engine
My greatest hobby was to play the GT90 in this and try to beat the F1, but the F1 was always a bit faster. The two cars were so good but GT90 was easier to handle.
That car is in Oklahoma with coolest owner last I knew…only 1 in existence..~Charlie Sheen~
Best game and Best cars
Thanks for this
All these cars are absolutely timeless. Every one of these cars will look good till the end of time
It still baffles me about the Ferrari F50 never made an appearance in the later racing games.
it does tho
Jim Conrad does the voice over
Thank you been wondering for years. I recognize his voice in the Toyota commercials.
One of the more interesting cars in this game was the Italdesign Cala, a concept car that somehow never went into production.
Lambo's baby who was aborted ☹️
There's another evidence the cala is a Lambo, it had a V10 engine from one of the Lamborghini models
the nostalgia his hitting
The 1st racing game 🥲 i Played
same here
Jaguar XJ2200 and Gt90 were my favourites!!
Incredible..
Who was dream to buy that car and go to high school !? Just to show off ?
XJ220 best video

There's a problem,how do you do it

Легенда моего детства!!!!😍
Where can i download this game and play
Google
It's funny how all the concept cars are stationary and video makers trying hard to make them look exciting
Is there a way to play this game on windows 11 without having a million viruses
how low the mighty have fallen
Amazing car list.
Why did you stretch the original 4:3 and make it wide? ((((
When this was uploaded UA-cam didn't remove black bars on 4:3 videos which I thought looked bad at the time. I wouldn't have stretched it if I uploaded it now.
Where is the FZR 2000?
That game was fucking amazing for the time!
omg Ferrari and alfa romeo wow they made sexy cars and fast cars , wow I noticed the smart boy Henry Ford 💙 he was a genius in his time
Would love to know who narrated this.
Благодарю.
💯💯💯💯💯💯
873k dollars at that time 😮
Ah that music, after playing game. I watched car TV shows here in Balkan, and this music was in background. I said woooow.

Hey where is koenigsegg...
Didn't exist
the First Koenigsegg from NFS Carbon
@@honchoryanc I've played with Koenigsegg... How's this possible
Who cares about koenigsegg when you have Ferrari F50?

by any chance you played with a mod which adds a koenigsegg
goddamn new game producers....they must be watch all showcase of this game if they want to make a great game...
