iloveit
This by far one of the best driving games I have ever had the privilege to play. Its just so cool that you are able to choose wich side of the law you want to uphold. You can either have a awesome sports car or be a police officer and give tickets and arrest people that speed. AND if that is not enough you can also do a sort of Gran Turismo mode in wich you buy cars, jack them up, and race them, and when you do this you are also unlocking more cars and tracks to cruise on! Its also got the multiplayer feature so you and somebody else can chase each other or both be civilians or both be cops! Highly reccomended, I guarantee tons of fun!
Definately better than Need for Speed III Hot Pursuit. The car control is back into the much better form of Arcade racing which categorized the original Need For Speed which started the whole thing off. The tracks are interesting, taking from many aspects of racing strategies. Shortcuts are minimal, but fun to use and easy to find.The development of the game requires the player to beat certain challenges in order to unlock more tracks. In addition, the hot pursuit mode requires you playing the cop to pull over the speeders before your time runs out to earn faster police cars. Something I enjoy is the choice of “Local Cops.” It’s an option under the track select. Depending on where the track is set (Germany, France, Great Brittain etc.) the cops will speak in that language. (Believe me, Electronic Arts makes fun of the British here). It adds to the realism and extras.Playing as a cop you have the option of calling in for backup, setting a roadblock, or requesting a spike strip (or “stinger” in British). The radio between the HQ and your car is realistic and keeps you well up to date on what’s going on in both modes of play.The cars are your standard array of sports cars using everything from the Jaguar XK8 to the Porsche 911 Turbo, all the way to the McLaren F1 racecar (of the Mercedes GTR, whichever you like better).The police have become smarter and the cars they drive are directly related to the track and the car you are driving. In America, the cop cars are the standard Ca.
good
I was a little surprised by the $3.99 for shipping a CD, but the entire purchase was $5.49 so overall it was worth the price.The PS disk that I received looked like it had seen better days, but it worked perfectly in my new PS3. There is even a setting on the PS3 to smooth the graphics so they are not as pixelated.I played this game back in graduate school when I got my first PS One. Playing it again is just as fun as it was back then. You really can go home again…
I recently purchased this CD-ROM and having owned it’s prequel -Need For Speed 3: Hot Pursuit- I expected Need For Speed: High Stakes to be considerably better. Unfortunately, all in all it’s no better.Need For Speed 3 is a great game, VISUALLY more than in any other way, and it also has a plethora of setup options and HOT PURSUIT modes of play, which is why it was such a fun game. However, it had some major flaws as well; it’s biggest flaw, arguably was the driving physics: there’s a slight delay in the steering response and the cars feel like their floating from side to side instead of firmly grasping the road, which made driving the cars very tedious, aggravating and nearly impossible to avoid hitting sides of the road and other cars, making the game a LOT less fun than it should have been.In like manner, Need For Speed: High Stakes is visually, eyecandy; it also has a lot of setup options, a new CAREER mode of play, and vehicle damage (not to mention the famed HOT PURSUIT modes of play). However, I was EXTREMELY disappointed in two major flaws which SEVERELY detract from fun and entertaining gameplay: The driving -which was already severely flawed in Need For Speed 3- is even WORSE in this game, astonishingly. Why Electronic Arts didn’t correct this flaw, I have no idea, but that’s totally incompetent of them and unacceptable. Also, the cars’ exteriors are very botched; -they look like kindergarten artwork, whereas in Need For Speed 3 they look very accurate and grea.
Bought for nostalgia, as I played the PC version as a kid but that version doesn’t work on modern hardware. The game is still as fun as I remembered it, though it hasn’t aged so well. Definitely worth a pickup for any NFS collector.
I bought this classic of Need for Speed for my younger son who is 12 years olg. He had enjoyed the game lively because he is a fan of racing games. The graphics of the game are clearly define and the thematic is simple: racing cars. For the price and the level of entertainment worth it…
This game is pretty cool, pulling over speeders and running away from the cops. It is definatly worth the price!
