Need for Speed: High Stakes

« Between the hot cars and tracks, in-depth Tournament mode, and thrilling cop chases, this excellent racer's got depth and style to spare. It's worth every cent. »

« The overall graphics, gameplay and realism are as good as any racing game I have seen for the Sony PlayStation, and it’s a lot of fun too. »

« The graphics are absolutely stunning, but lose a few points for a quirky frame rate and lack of spectacular lighting, but damn they sure are perdy! »

« As many may know, "Gran Turismo" ain’t much in the way of thrilling action or multiplayer (It’s not extremely fast and there are no real crashes or damage). In the end, High Stakes is just more fun. »

« If you are a fan of the series, NFS: HS is the second best in the series second only to the original 3DO version. »

« It's got tremendous competitive spirit, and enough changes (10 international tracks) and alterations to earn hard-core gamers' respect. »

« The inability to call for backup in two-player hot pursuit games is completely unforgivable and keeps the gameplay score from being even higher. »

« Put your high-priced cars on the line in this racing sequel. [Jan 2004, p.188] »

« A true classic that perfected the early NFS formula. High Stakes introduced a level of depth that was ahead of its time, featuring a career mode with car damage, repairs, and the intense 'High Stakes' races where you could literally lose your car to the opponent. The tracks are beautiful, the soundtrack is iconic electronic bliss, and the physics strike a perfect balance between arcade fun and realistic consequences. Even years later, it remains one of the most atmospheric and rewarding entries in the franchise »

« It was the best after gran turismo. But it's impossible to give another car racing game the same score as sony's flagship. »

« The fourth game in EA's franchise nails the pure thrill of racing. The presentation is stellar, the cops are relentless, and it's just plain fun. By not indulging too heavily in style or gimmicks (you'll find no rubber banding here!), High Stakes can appeal to any racing fan. I strongly recommend playing PlayStation version and avoiding the PC version. It is not the same game and the handling is inferior. This is the definitive version, despite the bad performance. But even when it runs at 14 frames per second, High Stakes is still one of the best games in the NFS franchise. »

« This was one of the very first games I've ever played on the PS1. Got it when I was about 11 and finally beat it when I turned 31. When I was a kid, the game seemed very hard and I was lusting heavily after the McLaren in the **** get it, you'd have to make it to the final stage of the **** I never got past the 3rd championship. Fastwoard to 20 years later and I boot it up once again. This time it's personal, I take it to the streets to not only beat the game, but to beat it to a full 100%. After over a month of trying. it finally happened. the very last race, I believe the GT Championship is extremely difficult. If you make one mistake you'll be missing out on the gold. It took me a good two weeks just on that race alone. But I finally beat it. Unlocked all the police cars, and even the helicopter. I finally beat something from my childhood. Feels like a friendly revenge. I adore this game, but don't think I'll be playing it again. Let the nostalgia take over once more and let it be a distant memory... 10/10 for childhood memories. 7/10 for the absolutely terrible rubberbanding in the latter levels, and the chunky controls. Turning will make you mad every now and then. Overall, a very deserved 8/10. »

« Need for speed high stakes has left me With a few memorable moments I love the Added features to upgrade and make your car Different soundtrack was great the pink slip races can be fair but disappointing especially when the game is a moderate grind for cash The end race was super annoying but has left me with knowing the feeling was to feel amazing when beating it »

« I loved the need for speed high stakes with great car excellent stage »

« Need For Speed siempre ha sido una saga de PC, en consola simplemente no dan el ancho, sobretodo en esta época. Esta entrega es la más querida por los fans, no es casualidad, es un juego descente en sus físicas y y en general bonito, pero sigo cuestionandome a que le tira esta franquicia. »

« The best game in the history of the Need for Speed ​​series. The variety of cars amazes the player with the graphics and gameplay of the cars along with competitive and realistic races. Exceptional voice acting along with various maps and masterpiece music make this version a work of art. »
