Need for Speed: Porsche Unleashed Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I've been playing the NFS titles since number 2 and we are now on the 5th. Its hard to play a game in a series without judging it against previous ones. When I first played NFS5 it had a very different feel to the previousones. The graphics engines on 3 and 4 were almost identical. 4 had lotsadditions to 3, it was the introduction of the career mode, damage but itdid sometimes feel like an add on pack as it had the same 'feel' - similarcars, same gameplay/graphics.
Still, after much debate I have found Ienjoyed the 4th installment the most because of the introduction of the newcareer mode.
So what additions were there to #5. Does it feel likeanother add on pack? It plays like a different game entirely. Gone are thecops (sob!)and the range of cars and bring on the Porsches!There are TONSof them and everyone is different. It was a bit boring at first with theold cars (as they drive like a wheelbarrow!) but once you get going this isa hughly addictive game.
My favourite part is still career mode whereyou start of in the 60s with old cars and build your way up to modern day.Winning tournements means you get money to buy new cars and so on.
Thegraphic engine has been totally revamped. Cars movement is more realisticas is collisions. One bad hit will do your car a lot of damage unlikebefore. Steering will suffer (similar to Rally Championship) and you wontjust get big knocks bumping up your damage the same as small knocks.Thegraphics are also the best of their kind. You need a good spec machine(nothing less than a PII400) and although there always seems to be a lackof tracks in NFS games they are a joy to ride. They have multiple routesfor the first time and the cars AI has been improved. I didn;t find myselfALWAYS winning and you have the option to buy parts for you car which willsubstancially make it quicker. There are the usual modes of play aswellas a Factory Driver mode where you have to complete tasks like drive in andout of cones in a certain time etc. I didn't find myself playing this toomuch.
I miss the other cars, cops and wish there were more tracks (losesa star for this) but this doesn't detract from an excellant racing game. Istill played NFS4 more when I first got it but this game is the bees knees.Much different to the other titles and holds the crown of the best racinggraphics to date. You wont be dissopointed unless you want to be a cop!Gofor a ride!
