Launched in 2002, this is one of the best games in the Need for Speed series. The graphics were beautiful for that time and even today they are not ugly. The gameplay is completely arcade, passing a nice sense of speed and is very good and extremely fun. The tracks are great, varied and very beautiful. The controls are excellent. The selection of cars is very good, with Ferraris, Porsches, Lamborghinis and many other big cars. The version released for the Playstation 2 was pretty neat and is considered superior to the versions released to the rival consoles (GameCube and Xbox). Some striking details are the "Flaming camera" that moves like a meteorite, allowing you to see what is ahead, presented in a beautiful effect and a camera option that gives a 360 degrees around the car, with effect similar to "Bullet Time" from the Matrix movie. Anyway, it's a great classic of the sixth generation of consoles.
