Just the music alone is so... Nostalgic, one of the best racing games I remember playing as a child. Back then, it was just a Need for Speed, not a Need for cars tuned beyond recognition... Just Speed.
even after 10 years after I last played it, I still get shivers down my spine and arms when the music comes on as the cars roll up at 0:24... 10 YEARS after! No game will never ever do that to me again in my entire life, sad and amazing at the same time!
Now thats what I call an intro to a great game, live action. This game got bad reviews, but we are the true critics. The fans opinion is more important.
Man, how I missed the old classic NFS, I mean, this game was my first NFS game, I will never forget the awesome gameplay, the track description and awesome car shows, everyone now bugs for Underground 3, well, I just want something like this
omg, i remember my dad always cheat on the oval track. at the start he would just drive to the far right where there's no car and pass everyone lol. my brother's favorite card was the mclaren, my sister's the f40 or f50 i forgot which, and mine was the jag or the white futuristic ford depending on my mood xD so sad i lost the CD good times good times
what today's nfs creators don't understand is that nfs means 'need for SPEED' and so the games have to be larger than life. ignore realism for once and go with something crazy. this is the reason nfs II was so good. it was larger than life. who cares if people can't afford these cars in real life? you build games like this so that they can experience these cars...
@peevishly The original creators don't develop nfs series since NFS hot pursuit 2, because EA decided to put a new and newbie developer (Black Box), and put the original creators to develop other games (EA Sports); for this, since NFS Underground, the series had another direction; only Criterion games tried to return the series as the Original creators were, but...
The Original creators were EA Canada, before known as Distinctive Software Inc (DSI), the same of Test Drive.
Back in the day quality things were released, becouse what was bad didn't even make it to the stores i guess... People bought what they knew would be good. It was only real life shoping. Now the internet took over...
@przyklad12 Chodzi mi o to, że nie mogę w to zagrać, bo Windows XP jest zbyt nowy na stare gry! Pobrałem sobie emulator Windowsa 98, i wszystko fajnie... tyle, że tnie i muli okropnie!
@Quarker99 I HEAR YOU. This game had excellent gameplay, physic, and sense of speed. I hope they remake it KEEPING EVERYTHING THE SAME ... but maybe add NFS3 and 4 Tracks and Cars + Better graphics ... (But that's asking a lot, I already know it will never happen :(
Memories man. When I was 6 or 7, whenever I would see the cars start burning up my eyes would always be going out thier sockets....and they still do. LOL
I cranked up the volume of my surroundsystem REAL high at just sat in my chair and had a complete rush through my entire body at 0:22, fucking hell I feel the same everytime I watch this intro, i feel THE NEED FOR SPEED!
@30301500 I do did too! That's the Lamborghini Cala. I really wish they had put that car in production. I must take a trip to the Lamborghini Factory in Italy before I die to see that car.
Fun fact: The McLaren F1 has tripled it's value by now. You'll now have to pay 3 million bucks if you want one. Don't invest in stocks folks, invest in cars!
@kittykatro production value means the amount of money they spent on producing the whole video and I was comparing it to a video of today's standards.
@Countrymusicman1982: that could be seen in the original Need For Speed 2. The intro shown here is from the Need for Speed 2 SE (Special Edition). It came with an extra track and a couple of extra cars
This game was the best and still the best. NOTHING will defeat this game. This game is SOOOOO 10 out of 10. Only if these days on standard cars shit stick were like that, it would be so sexy on it :D
best thing to do is play this game over and over again :D Got windows 7 and still play this when I have time :P
nostalgia! i played this game when i was 7 and had loads of fun! i remember when i could only play one stage because i didn't know how to switch places. few months later i found out and i was so excited about every new stage that i could see!!
everything is messed up now.
hopefully criterion's NFS HP 2 will revive the games!
Why cant the new need for speeds be like this??? They are all crap now and all turned toward "fast and the furious" which was awesome 10 years ago lol
I remember buying this game brand new on pc when i was a kid!
