Ranking Need For Speed games based on my likings

Over the past years, I have been playing Need For Speed. It is one of my favorite game when it comes to racing genre. Although I havent played the recent one like Need For Speed Payback and Need For Speed Heat, I can still enjoy watching the gameplay. Even though I like all of the NFS games that EA Studio made, some of them are just kind of boring. So, I'm gonna list some of the NFS games from The Best to The Worst.

The Best: (2005)Need For Speed Most Wanted

When we're talking about NFS:MW, I find it one of the best NFS game ever made. From the cutscenes, characters even the memorable cars such as the BMW M3 GTR and Cross's police Corvette C6R which is shown on the picture above. Also, the intense pursuits, and the progression from the slowest cars to the fastest one as the game gets even more tense near endgame. Handlings are the best back then because it's easy to avoid cop chases and doing races. Even though the game is old, I find it's graphic still georgous for a 2005 game. The vibe it gives me is totally different from today NFS games.

Very Good: Need For Speed: ProStreet

Unlike NFS:MW, this game is also a good game that I had fun playing with. But, there are some that I don't like with it. We'll start off with what this game is all about then from what is good about it to what is bad about it. NFS:ProStreet is a game where you become Ryan Cooper, who joined a legal street racing career wants to become a well known street racer in the world. But, before he can become one, he has to fight his way up by competing with other racers and not only, the King of ProStreet himself, Ryo Watanabe, who then later insults Ryan by their driving abilities whilst on stage during the D-Day event or known as the legal street racing event. Now that we have finished with the backstory, I'm going to give my short points from the good thing about NFS:ProStreet. The good thing about this is the car will instantly gets totaled if your car flew in the air and landed upside down. The realisticness of it is very good, not to mention that the car damage also looks real. Now, the bad thing, races pretty much feels the same once you played for a while. Doing the same kind of races everyday doesn't sound fun at all. And lastly, this game is probably by far had the most advertising due to heavy sponsorship from lots of company. The game looks like it wants you to focus on the advertisement everytime you pass through one while in racing progress. Overall, I still enjoy it due to different categories of each races from Drag, Time Attack, Race and Drift.

The Worst: Need For Speed: Payback

NFS: Payback is a game where you, as main character Tyler Morgan and his crew, Jessica and Mac wants to become the best crew team. In this game, you will be automatically switched to different driver to race in various streer leagues throughout the city and beat bosses. It is decent, but everything is frenetic, fast and exciting to look at, but in the end result isn't very intriguing. Like escaping the police is no longer the challenging and the story failed to make me feel thrilled. If you have a younger siblings or anyone that is casual or inexperienced at racing game,  then this game is for them.

Forza Horizon 5, a racing video game that was recently released 9th November 2021 and received a winning of The Game Awards 2021. The developers behind this game, Playground Games has absolutely created another masterpiece. Trailer of Forza Horizon 5 Forza Horizon 5 is pretty much a open world game where you can explore the real city based on a fictional representation of Mexico. Unlike every other Forza Horizon series, FH5 probably has the largest map in the entire Forza Horizon series. Which made this game a 10/10 for me. In this game, you compete with other AI(Artificial Intelligence) or with a real player from across the world in order to unlock more races, customizations, and become the top ranking player in the world. Not to mention that if your not a fan of racing in an open world, this game also provides you with tropical environment, beautiful city recreation of Mexico for you to explore. It really feels like your travelling in Mexico, but in game. ...

Even the smoke effects are entirely different. EA really did manage to turn this one into a different game. From having realistic, to combining graffiti, cartoon and realistic style all together.  To get to the top, you have to take risks. Choose how and when to put it all on the line, pulling huge drifts, outdriving the cops, or placing side bets with your own earnings against rival racers. Time is mone...

The game was released on September 30, 2021 for the Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch and Microsoft Windows. It is h ighly accessible yet full of advanced techniques, devilish shortcuts, and creative tools to master, Hot Wheels Unleashed is  one of the best, most customizable, and most imaginative arcade racers I've played in at least a decade. The gameplay shows a very cool 1:1 recreation of all Hot Wheels car in action where you race in a environment where everything is big.  With tracks creatively weaved through lavishly detailed, and brimming with a catalogue of cars spilled straight out of the toy bucket, developer Milestone’s decision to double down on a brand of racing 64 times smaller than usual has been a consummate success. The campaign can sometimes feels awesome in a way that will make you impress...
