Need for Speed II
Faithful fans will have a good solid game in their collections with six new tracks and an unthinkable amount of extra horsepower to play with.
It may not appeal to the hard core arcade racing fans out there, but for the more simulation minded gamers out there that appreciate a touch of arcade action, this title is sure to please.
The PlayStation's slickest racer yet, with its mix of realistic locales, superior graphics, and fast cars.

I was thinking of writing **** and end the review but I realized there's a 75 character limit

I'm evaluating the game within the current context, and unlike the previous installment, I didn't find this one as groundbreaking or interesting. Fans should definitely play it, but for the average person, it's questionable, it's a mediocre.

O que mais me prendeu foi o realismo que os carros capotam e se fodem, imagina isso na época... A forma que eles vão de M4rília é extremamente satisfatório

I am 32 now and played this game Age 5 to 10 and in my teens missed The scenery and soundtrack need for speed Has been the thing that has inspired me to be In love with games and cars all over again And the main menu theme always melts away my bad feelings I won’t forget this game

The tracks were all so well-designed that if the control was better, it would have overshadowed the poor graphics and the pitiful-looking cars.

All the right elements are there - cool cars, inventive tracks, decent control - but the execution has been seriously flawed by poor graphics and frame rate.

Way better than the previous entry in the series. This game controls pretty good, and it's a lot more arcadey and fun then The Need For Speed on PS1. However the PC version of this game is far superior.
