TO THE WINDOOOOOOWS, TO THE WAAAAALLLLLLL!

[@Healtsome]

By far the best Need For Speed.

[@BawesomeBurf]

The graphics in this one may not look that great by today's standards, but I still find them way more appealing than any of the modern NFS footage that you showed in this video. The visuals in the modern games is very bland and doesn't have enough color IMO.

[@Ecliptor.]

the iconic moment when you get to the customization menu and "24's" or "Get Low" start playing

[@agdgdgwngo]

I loved this game! The levels of shineyness and eye-candy are just ridiculous for a game that came out in 2003. Not to mention the extreme sense of speed. Mind blowing for a 10 year old at the time

[@oneslow8658]

it's an Integra Type R

[@AdriJuice]

Best game 10/10 you can get a decal of samurai dabbing

[@CannaToker420]

We're outta control, we're outta control, We're outta control, We're outta CONTROL!

[@sandybfox2446]

Whenever I collided with a car in NFSU, I would say, "As soon as my car stops break dancing, you're history!"

[@jerryk7862]

15 years has past and this game is still a beast

[@Some_RandomYoutuber]

Fun fact: Someone actually modded the PC port to where you can freeroam in that city.

I remember reading at the time that they hired a Hollywood lighting director to help with the lighting effects, and it definitely shows! The lighting in this game is some of the best I've seen in any game ever... even NFSU2 didn't top it in my opinion.

[@callumwearne7870]

damn this game still looks good even today!

[@huyton251]

You absolutely need more subscribers these reviews are excellent!

[@idrisrobinson5393]

Soooo. Muuuuch. Nooostalgia. Back when EA wasnt complete trash

[@hamzasultan96]

Did anyone else do this for style points?

[@sonichuizcool7445]

I LOVED this game. I played it on my Xbox... It brings back memories ... I wish they would have recreated this game and kept the formula in-tact. Under ground 2 didnt feel right...

[@Ikcatcher]

I wonder if you will review the rest of the Need For Speed games?
