The fourth Need for Speed game, Need for Speed: High Stakes – also known as Need for Speed: Road Challenge in some territories – is notable for the host of new features and modes it brought to the series.
Need for Speed: High Stakes / Road Challenge You wouldn’t want to play it today, but in 1994, The Need for Speed was the game for car fans. The icing on the cake was detailed information about each real-life car present in the game, including videos. And police pursuits played their part, too. Needless to say it was a hit.įeaturing both circuit and point-to-point races, players had to avoid traffic while speeding to beat their opponents. Its visuals were amazing, its sound design was equally as good, and working with Road & Track, EA tried to make each car handle as realistically as possible.
Upon its release in 1994, The Need for Speed was a revelation. These games are why we love the series, and want it to return to its former glory. Until then, however, lets look back at the best Need for Speed games of all time. With it set to release later this year, there’s not long to wait until we find out, either. And now we’re hoping that the next entry goes even further to put the series back in the spotlight. With 2017’s Need for Speed Payback being one of the lows for the series, we’re glad that 2019’s Need for Speed Heat was a marked improvement.
But one thing has pretty much remained constant throughout though: exhilarating police chases. While the first Need for Speed was a racing game with serious handling (at the time, anyway), newer iterations have been happy with simply providing spectacle. It’s no secret that the Need for Speed series has had its ups and downs over the years. What are the best Need for Speed games? As racing game fans, it’s a question we often ask ourselves.
