This was my first, and only, NFS title that I truly enjoyed.
I am personally not into any racing games but I enjoyed the police chases (which seemed pretty fun, as well advanced programming, at the time), as well the career mode.
I would say the best racing game with police chases, helicopter capes and simply beautiful cars.The preservation of this game is mandatory, it is simply legendary, its cover is undeniably a legend.
There is no 90s born kid that didnt drool when this game came out... that didn't glue his/her eyes to the screen trying to move up the blacklist.
This game wrote history... a leviathan among racing games.
How did they made it soo simple yet soo good?
The only, ONLY downside is that it hasnt got licence for more cars than the 60+ or so that the game already has.
Artistic street style and badass soundtrack with chases are unforgettable. Countless hours I spent on PS2 and it is one of my loved titles I time to time play through emulators.
NFS: Most Wanted showed on my radar when I was in university. I moved to a new city, in a new state. I didn’t know anyone but I overheard a group of people talking Most Wanted and decided to join in the conversation. I wouldn’t have expected what that simple act would bring. Some of my most cherished friends – some who would kick my **** every race haha.

Sonic DriftSonic Drift is a racing game whose gameplay style and controls are heavily based on Sega's arcade game Out Run. Here, the players race around a race course against the other three characters for a top position in the race. The game's single player mode is Chaos GP, where the player's goal is to win three different circuits (green, yellow and red). Each circuit is made of six different race courses that the player is taken through in succession.
Each race course is composed of a circuit which needs to be completed thrice. The playable characters have rather simple controls, their basic actions being accelerating to move forward, breaking, and moving left or right on the tracks. In tight corners, the player can break while turning in a specific direction, allowing them to drift through the corners. If the player overuses this method though, the playable character starts spinning out of control. Should the player move outside the race tracks, the racer's acceleration will decreases noticeably on the rough terrain. The race track's sidelines also have obstacles that will stop the player altogether if the playable characters crash into them. The player can as well collect Rings along the race tracks to perform special moves unique to each character.
