Fun Game
Creative game for the import/muscle car lover, a bit challenging for younger players but, detailing/design options vast.

Need For Speed? Yes.
If you like speed, drifting, and shifting, this game is for you. I love the features like drifting, drag, and all the other features you have come to love over the years of Need For Speed, but there are definitely a few things missing from this iteration of vehicular madness. One aspect of Need for Speed: Underground 2 and Need for Speed: Most Wanted that I liked the most was the free roam ability. I love cruising around town in order to find shops or races, but I'm just a nerd. What is a huge disappointment about this lack is that there is no pursuit mode. Running away (successfully, sometimes) from the cops has always been one of my favourite parts of the Need for Speed series. Aside from the lack of cops, there are a few other things that keep me playing Most Wanted while my brand new Pro Street sits on the shelf. There is really no such thing as "quick play" you are forced to create an event, or deal with the races you don't feel like doing. I would love to see a quick play where you pick a car, a venue, and a style (drift, drag, circuit, etc.) and just race. All the background garbage in this game detracts from the actual gameplay, which is AMAZING!!! Now that you've read through my garbage, I can tell you how good the gameplay is. The graphics are wonderful, even when compared to PS3 games, and the manual (with clutch) shifting is very cool. The cars are excellent, with a wide variety of muscle cars, rice rockets, legitimate drifters, and others. I especially love the Chevelle, 240sx, and the 'Vette. Overall, this is a fun game, but seems to be aimed at ADD kids moreso than car lovers. If you want a real-life driving simulator, I would wait for Gran Turismo 5 to come out, but if you like the crazy mods and awesome gameplay of Need for Speed, I would recommend it. It's probably the only new PS2 game where you get points for drifting, so I have to love it.
Enjoy!

The Big Rave
I bought this PS2 game for my son. He also has "Need for Speed 1 & 2". He likes this version as well as the other two. He says it is lots of fun.

good
this game is good, but only one thing is that you have alot of big car and the track are not good for the cars. they have very curve. you can not go to the max speed !!!!!!!!

let down
I was really exited to try this game after seeing the video preview for it but wow was I let down. This game is full of problems with the grafics (such as when you roll up to the staring line, the rims aren't even turning) Its also not nearly as much fun as the older Need for Speed games like NFS Hot Pursuit 2. I was hoping the NFS titles would get their act together on this one but no they're just getting sloppier and sloppier ever since NFS Carbon.
