GI - "A burst of turbo ignites a blue flame from my Dodge Challenger’s exhaust. At 150 mph, my eyes are fixated on the straightaway ahead. A slow-moving pedestrian vehicle forces me into oncoming traffic. If I can hold onto this lead, I’ll grasp gold in under a mile. The police aren’t going to make this easy. A spike strip forces me back into the right lane."
After nearly three decades of NFS games, here's a list of the best Need For Speed titles that have ever been released in the past years, ranked by The Nerd Stash.

Most wanted 2012 imo was awful, on PS3 the graphics are dreadful, and the crash cam was very annoying. Rival is the worst imo, hated that game. My favourite is Hot Pursuit, great game. Also Shift 1&2 are really good.
High Stakes will always be my favorite. Great cars, great music, and you could see through the windows which was pretty mind-blowing at the time. Best of all it was ricer-free.
Lame. The list doesn't even include any of the originals. NFS 1 and NFS hot Pursuit 1998. Must be a youngster who created the list.
He clearly stated that being this was an Xbox centered site he was going to limit his list to games that released on some form of Xbox. He also stated he had been playing them since OG PLaystation, so pretty sure he's not a "youngster"
From my personal experience NFS I personally don't like.......
The Worst : Underground 2 , Carbon, Prostreets, Undercover, Porche unleashed, Nitro, NFS World, 2012 Mostwanted, Rivals, 2015 Reboot last but not least Paycrap.
Best NFS I personally like :
All ps1 NFS : HighStakes (the best) including NFS 3 Hotpursuit , ps2 Hotpursuit 2 (Excellent game ) ..Underground ( Best so far)
2005 Mostwanted ( Excellent game) Shift 1/2 (Spectacular) remind me of GT , 2010 Hotpursuit Great game but race Waaaaaaay to long in my personal opinion . Last but not least The Run . these are my favorite NFS titles .
After The Run in my personal opinion NFS went down hill fast with Open world mapping crap, always online, multiplayer crap, alldrive, drifting in every freaking corners, no gripping anymore,autolog. None of this crapfest is NFS original formula. until Ea contract Ghost Games to return the original formula back in NFS it will always be Shitty game.
For 25 years now the Need for Speed series has kept its fans glued to their seats, but what are the standout titles?
NFSU2
NFSU
NFSMW
NFS(3DO)
Those are my favorites. Anything released recently is a big steaming pile of hot garbage.
My favs in order: NFS 3 Hot Pursuit, Hot Pursuit II, Both Undergrounds, Carbon, Prostreet, Shift 2 is a masterpiece
I'll be purchasing this for the PS4 when I finally get my hands on one!
Pre-ordered this game today! I skipped racing entirely this generation tbh (Not counting Little Big Planet Karting) and this finally got me interested again. Can't wait for this and Driveclub and the Crew :D
This game has been doing very well, critically. I rarely see a bad word about it. I think I said on another comment that Rivals has really jumped on my radar as of late. I'll definitely be picking this up at some point to fill in the gap between then and when DriveClub comes out.
This looks quite beautiful but BF4 is 60fps and this is 30fps. It'd look really nice if they could have gotten this to work at 60fps without compromising the shaders. Could have accepted 900p or even 720p if it meant 60fps.
Is this game worth getting? I'm missing Injustice & this game for the PS4.
