Carbon is the only game to do "boss battles" in a racing game well. I remember the final boss of Underground 2 being one of the most boring things ever: an overly-long circuit race against a guy who isn't any faster than your average racer. Canyon battles are not long, they are intense and feel climactic, everything a boss should be.

For me it's NFSU2. I even heard and saw great things from the first one (my cousins used to play it at their home but didn't let me) so I can greatly recommend both of them lol. All of my 3 dream cars are playable at least in the second one (RX7, 200SX, R34). Sometimes I even hop into quick games to do some downhill drifting. It's got better drifting mechanics than 99% of car games out right now.

@@TigerChamp99 To be fair when the PSP was actually current, 30fps on a handheld was fine especially for kids. I played the PSP version as well as the PS2 version, and since have gone back to the 360 version which is the ideal way to play. Funnily enough though, I kind of prefer Own the City conceptually, since it had health bars and some really cool race/mission variety that wasn't present in the console versions. That said, nostalgia plays a big part in it, and driving around a (at the time, beautiful) reasonably sized open world on a handheld device was such a novel concept especially back then.

EA doesn't understand anymore that the music sets the mood of the game. The track list in old NFS games were the best. Metal, Hip Hop, and immersive/scary techno set one hell of a memorable mood. It makes the game way more enjoyable, you can feel the adrenaline with powerful songs. The latest NFS games have very soft songs which makes the games way less enjoyable... EDIT: If you guys played NFS Hot Pursuit REMASTERED recently, tell the truth. The music in that game makes the the game feel SO FAST and Captivating with the ever ending roar of the engines and that frigging.... (pause) TURBO 🚗💨 🚓even though the cars have no mods other than the paint, the game is SUPER enjoyable.

@@Hoonters-goona-Hoont Couldn't agree more. while i can understand that Ghost Games were going for songs that fit the vibe of Miami but at the same time they forgot the importance of having tracks that fit the action on screen. For example, Reggaeton and Trap would have been better for free roaming and during the downtime at the Garage instead of accompanying races at all times. The lack of variety is criminal. Hard Rock, Metal and Synthwave would have fit the action perfectly during the Night cycle as i try to escape the cops at Level 5. On a side note, i made 2 separate playlists for my ''Alternative Soundtrack'' to NFS Heat featuring styles of music based from the time cycles. For instance, i added House, Synthpop and Indie Rock for the Day Cycle whereas for the Night Cycle i focused primarily on Post Hardcore, Synthwave, Electronic, Metal and Hard Rock. Check them out and give me your thoughts.

I want to be devil's advocate and say Rivals cop story is one of the best in the franchise. *SPOILER* You have a cop, bit of an edgelord yeah, but it shows that taking down streetracer is not just a duty for him, its' an ideal. All the time he play for the side of the law, he didn't realize his hypocrisy. Dangerous takedown in middle of traffic, even taking a racer car just to have a disguise to do more clubbing (some even argue that he did so just to get Vehicle Response Team to come, so that he can join their rank for better cars and recognition - which ngl would make a pretty good arc if this is a movie series). But in the final race with Zephyr, it broke all his limits, his hypocrisy. Only in his near death experience, that he realised without his badge, he isn't much more than a speed freak with violent temper. So in the end he only focus on what really matters: the need for speed. If it takes the best ex-streetracer to be cop, then it would take the best cop to be streetracer. When you compare it with the run-of-the-mill 'I want to be the very best' formula of majority of other NFSs, it is something different. It's just the way it was presented might felt lacking, and if you don't have an imaginative mind to really delve into it what amounted to a slideshow of monologs, it just felt flat. The lacklusting gameplay didn't help either. If this is made into a 1-season tv series though, with all the details fleshed out, probably more people can get behind the story.

Same thing happened to me with MW. Everyone was tuning their rides with Underground 2's massive options but then most struggled to evade a spike strip on MW. A game cafe that used to run on the basement of an old supermarket in my city actually set up a contest to beat the final 30-minute chase challenge in MW. I did it with overtime, 37 minutes and a few seconds. I got a weekend of free plays and about 10 bucks in cash for it, but it felt incredible. All the other competitors lasted between 10 and 15 minutes

I never even knew the AI _could_ fall off the canyons in those races until a couple of weeks ago when Kenji did the same for me. I just assumed they were scripted not to do that, but it's actually the opposite. They even have their own cutscene that plays before they... well, die, pretty much.
