Need for Speed 5 review

Company: Electronic Arts     Product: Need for Speed: Porsche Unleashed

More Gameplay

Re-playability might be the most important thing in a game, even more if it’s a racing game with a limited number of tracks, most of them are inspired in European places, I didn’t have a favorite but overall all tracks are well designed and had those little twists that make the racing experience much better, it’s also obvious that the use of shortcuts and alternative ways are present everywhere in most of the tracks. 

Now, the bad side of the picture… even though you have multiplayer as an option (that is, LAN and modem), there is no split screen, which is no good, definitely something really missing in this game.

Conclusion

Porsche Unleashed is a great game, with the right balance between arcade and sims, it’s perfect for the average PC gamer, if you have played previous NFS games and have enjoyed them, you might want give PU a try without doubt and if that’s not the case, still this is a must try for any racing game fan out there.

Pros:

  • Beautiful graphics, pretty much what I expected to see from EA.
  • Lots of fun with the various race modes and tracks.
  • Maybe one of the best racing games you can get now.

Cons:

  • No two-player split screen option available.
  • The game might get boring too quickly.
