I only had the PC version but I still enjoyed it for a few reasons (not least of which being the selection of more real-world cars rather than the lambos and other nonsense that made up the car list in older games)
but yeah the PS2 version is CLEARLY superior even just judging from that video

Worse visuals with entire effects missing and worse physics on the cars. The port was outsourced to another studio so the PS2 version ended up being the best even when compared to superior platforms.

Why would someone bring up Need Speed, for? If it didn't make you drive defensive and necessarily aggressively. You didn't spend enough time on your father's lap when you were a wee one. I'd say Driver is the best NSF game. If you can't drive yourself, you need someone who can dust up cut roads outside the highgays. Suspension is key, forget brake pads. It's all oiled so well as it never gets to clot up.

NFSU 2 for PC if you Anons want it. Includes proper widescreen fix, "region unlocker" so you can use the European cars on the US version, patches and trainers for all versions, controller dead zone issues, and optional visual reputation remover so you won't be forced to use ugly as fuck RICED.COM body kits and shit on your car.

Think he means Hot Pursuit. Drifting in it is ridiculous and everyone gets shells and bananas to use basically. But over all it's a return to form.
The other two? I pirated Most Wanted just to see the police intros Seriously these are the best part of the game. Didn't even bother with Rivals since I heard it was more trash somehow. NFS '15 is good if you want to rice shit, though fuck actually playing it. Same for Payback which sadly doesn't have a crack yet

I'll like carbon with you anon Autosculpt was the shit and it actually had a pretty nice story carrying on from MW. Though I wish the cars didn't get sorted into classes and forced you to upgrade to a different car. Prostreet is better though

This is the only correct option, if not for the addictive, simple yet challenging gameplay, for the sheer amount of mods that exist for both. You will never run out of shit to do in that game.
It's sad that most kids nowadays don't even so much as acknowledge any of the games before Underground, it's kinda like if everyone thought Doom 3 was the first DOOM game.

I used to play NFS 3 the most, but I think one time I got another game, possibly another NFS game, where police would somehow slow down your car even if you didn't stop accelerating, eventually making it stop and arresting you. Also, I think if the police started pursuing you, you could stop and be handed an infraction instead of getting arrested. Does anyone know what game this was? This was like 20 or 15 years ago and I was a little babby so my memory can be fuzzy.

MAJOR SHIT:
- salted peanuts
- good variety of cars
- good level design (i.e. no bullshit that you have to memorize like it's fucking battletoads)
- vehicles for different terrain that make handling substantially different; salted peanuts
- good physics; if you hit oncoming traffic going 70 mph (whatever the equivalent is in non-freedom-units), you should feel it, you should not just bounce off the car and maintain your trajectory
- good AI; no shitty rubber banding, have set difficulty levels for each course; preferably have AI be ghosts of record times from actual players (i.e. the fucking devs themselves)
- different modes of play; time attack mode; a free drive mode; salted peanuts, etc
MINOR SHIT:
- the ability to upload and listen to your own music
- a varied musical track (Midnight Club LA is a good example)
- salted peanuts
- if you're incorporating a story into the game, just don't.

Fun physics this is why the PS1 version of NFS 3 beats the PC version, sanic speed, crazy tracks, AI that doesn't fuck around, and music that makes you want to go even faster then eurobeat.
