I love all of the NFS games except Prostreet.

(I have played every one except, I, II, Underground 2, Nitro, and Shift 2. When there are 12 total NFS games, 7 out of 12 isn't bad.)

Graphics don't make the game.

Arcade Racing > Sim Racing

(Raises flame shield)

Hot Pursuit = REAL COP CHASES + REALISTIC RACES + ARCADE RACING + GOOD MAPS

WIN

Nitro = Weird cop chases (Wwhat the heck is with the cop cars?), unrealistic races (lane drag?) + Arcade racing + bad maps

That's what I said. Arcade races are awesome. T_T

Yes, I'm just saying nitro is awful, see below.

I'd rather play Nitro than Shift. I hated Shift.

Shift + DUMBBBBB

All races, no chases, no street races.

That's not the point of the game.

I own the first one. Well, I used to. Now I have the 3rd one for PC and PS1, Underground 2, Most Wanted, Carbon (horrible), and the tablet Hot Pursuit.

NFS III and Most Wanted will always be the best NFS games. Nitro was actually pretty good, the new Hot Pursuit is great, and I can't wait to get a copy of The Run.

World. Hackers, Bots, Bugs. I still play it.

And Nitro is awesome. Graphics? Half the games pre-2000 have bad graphics but have a HUGE fanbase and are awesome. Arcade Mode? Whats wrong with that? HP has it, too. In HP, the cars (even the best handling in real life) Handle like a boat. In Nitro, You can drift through ALL the corners. Now thats pretty awesome. I like it. Nuff said.

I love most wanted. I have it for the gamecube.

@SeptimusHeap: After playing Most Wanted for such a long time, I was originally excited to go back to Palamont(?) for Carbon. Cops were going to be there, the Canyon Races looked awesome, and I was itching for a new NFS anyway. I got it eventually, and booted it up. Little did I know that I was going to be immensely disappointed. The cops in that game mean little or nothing, they were just there. There was never any plot point (that I can remember) that had anything to do with them. I was able to go through my entire career without them. The Canyon Races are just RAGE beyond belief. Took me about 3 hours to beat the final one. The redesigned Palamont was for the worse. It seems to me they tried to make it more "Most Wanted"-y than it originally was.

It wasn't a clone. It was more of a rip-off of MW, with less quality game play and plot. The only good part was the Firetruck in multi-player.

I don't understand the dislike toward Nitro. It was much more arcade-y than other NFS titles, but it was still really fun. That being said, I only own it for my DSi.

@Harakou: Shift, I think, is a more simulation type racer, while Hot Pursuit is the same arcade game you know. Depends on what type of racing game you want. If you do get Shift, I heard the 2nd one is vastly improved over the 1st.

Ikr? The first time I tried it, it took me hours to finally beat that last canyon race as well. Since then though I've figured out that the best way to beat it without the mass frustration is to buy a Z06 and tune it to get as much acceleration as possible. Then when the race starts you should pull ahead of the other car within a few seconds, then just brake right in front of him holding him behind you, and then just wait for the timer to run out, lol.

Actually, I think I had a muscle car. And muscle cars in that game handle pretty horrid. Or maybe I went the route of the Corvette again. In any case, I beat it how your supposed to. Racing down that horrid course.

The reason muscle cars handled so bad in the game is because muscle cars handle badly in real life. 

But yea the reason for using a Z06 is because it is the fastest accelerating car on Carbon and the only car that could get ahead of Darius's R8 at the very beginning of the race.

I know they handle horrid in real life. I got real good at controlling of them however, usually by drifting. Now that I think back on it, the Viper was my car of choice.

Still, the Z06 in MW is the only car I have gotten to 250 MPH before (254 to be exact).
