Honestly, if they ever get this game re-released (which is unlikely due to the licensing required for these decades-old cars, several of which are concept cars), they have to re-release Need for Speed II SE for those extra cars, the extra track, and the "Wild" driving style.
I played the track on the demo over and over, then I got the game and played over and over, then I got a joystick and played with it and broke all my previous records, so I played over and over. I have not found a working version of this for recent hardware anywhere so getting it here would be a blast. All other NFS are just NFS2 with "fast and furious" song on them, the real arcade feeling is still in this one.
This was the first racing game I ever got.
I NEVER had so much fun with a racing game than with this one. Even the new Need For Speed games which some of them I loved, are inferior to this one.
It's a simple game. You choose a car from a list of AWESOME racing cars, you choose a course, and you're ready. No complicated mechanics, no weird things. Just you, the course and your rivals.
Each one of the maps was different from the previous ones in difficulty and scenery. The graphics were good, the music was good.
Man, I spent a lot of great memories playing tournaments of this game with my friends.
But, if you were to get this game for us, GOG people, please consider getting the "SE - Special Edition" one. Not the first Need For Speed II. The SE was better in every single aspect. More cars, more courses, better graphics.
Nostalgia? Check. Opening movie with cool stylish cars? Check. Memorable main menu screen? Check. Two-player split-screen? Check. Iconic roster of supercars including concept cars? Check. Appropriate number of iconic tracks? Check. Awesome music? Check? Tracks have shortcuts, ramps, difficult bumps, difficult snow, T-rex, and other memorable features? Check. Short but sweet campaign? Check. Progressively difficult tracks? Check. Diverse locations? Check. Unlockable vehicle? Check. GOG should get it? Check.
Meeeeeeeh, this game cars and tracks(mirrored,reversed AND mirrored reverse) are like blueprinted in my inner membrane... and the soundtracks haunted me more times than I could ever remember, nothing else to say.
Black & White 2In the game, the player takes the role of a god called from the void (nothingness) to help those who invoked them. However, the player is not an omnipotent style god, but rather a god who rises and falls with his believers and the player must help develop their nature according to their good or evil desires. The player also has a creature, their physical representation in the world, which takes the form of an anthropomorphic ape, lion, wolf, turtle, cow, or tiger. Its physical manifestation can grow to an immense size, and adopt a good or evil persona separate of the player's. They develop their character as the player rewards or punishes their actions. In addition to the god simulation and city-building elements introduced in the original Black & White, Black & White 2 also features elements of real-time strategy gameplay, with the addition of controllable warfare and fighting units.Top Trending Action Fantasy Comedy Sandbox
