Need for Speed (NFS) Rivals, Developed by Ghost Games, with additional work by Criterion, published by EA and released on the 21/11/2013, is a game about driving fast, breaking the rules and being a rebel, well, if you believe the overly dramatic cut scenes.
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
If you own a PC save your money and go get into the Project Cars beta.
Pcars slaughters NFS:r as far as game quality, graphics, physics, quality, customizations. Now if you like NFS:r gameplay then go ahead but if you just need the BEST racer ever then Pcars is your ONLY choice!
lol 85/100.. someone must have been so high and missed the first 2 hours of (tutorial) "game".
3/100 is much for this disaster.
Its a great game and I am hardcore into granturismo and I love need for speed project cars does interest me however in real life I will never chase down a Ferrari in a lamborghini avenadore. I'll just have the ford Taurus and a chase once in a blue moon at work. So yes need for speed is great. And also I cannot hit a button in my squad car at work and call in a chopper that puts down spikes. So yes need for speed works and appeals to hardcore and arcade fans alike.
