Ranking Every Need for Speed Game - From Worst to Best! 

Hi guys, I've been working on this video for a week now, and I finally finished it a day earlier ahah. Anyway sorry for some grammatical errors, but my mother language is not the English. Ah, you can also see all clip's credits in the description.

Don't worry about the English dude. You speak two languages. Most of us just one. Good video

NFSU2 is, in all honesty, my favorite driving game ever to exist. The physics are awesome, the cars are sweet, the tuning is cool, the soundtrack is INCREDIBLE, and there's no game I've ever played that could beat its fun factor.

Most Wanted 2005 is just so smooth, the engine is amazing.

your voice is actually kind of relaxing

People don't really realize how big of a step NfSU2 took by introducing free roam compared to NfSU1, it was a huge thing back then.

NFS Most wanted 2005 and underground . My childhood gamess

16:54 this game is an example why everyone loved the 90's

Actually ghost wanted to expand more of nfs heat but due to EA being EA and due to the pandemic they closed down ghost games after the game was released and they handed the franchise back to criterion.

NFS underground 2 . . . ah yeah, my first NFS game, i play so many years, still today xD (best nfs game FOR ME)

In regards to heat, the game was going to get a lot more content monthly, however the pandemic hit and that put any updates they had planned on hold, then about 5ish months later EA pulled the studio who are responsible for heat put them on other projects, it was appointed that EA planned to have Criterion games come in and make a new racing game or create updates for heat. I have a feeling the next NFS game will be a shell of what heat was since all the racing games Criterion put out during their time with NFS where all about exotics and no fun tuning or building your own ride. However this next few years will be looking pretty good as far as racing games go, with a new test drive and new midnight club on the way this should put some pressure on other studios to start putting more into their games rather then it being the same thing on a new map *cough cough forza cough cough*. hopefully we will get some racing games that bring back the feel of some of the racing games of the 2000s. story, unlock progression, with tuning and customization. PS im still waiting for the day we get a game with physics like forza but story of a NFS game with a car building system where you get to build the car your self just like in street legal racing redline

Underground 2 was launched at the pinnacle of tunning culture, magazines, fast and furious movies....aaah the good old times. That's the main reason why they never released an "HD" version of it. It would be out of its time. If you ask me what the best racing game would be I'd say: NFSU2 with 2022 graphics and physics AND a cockpit camera

Your speaking doesn’t matter bro you still have subtitles to help but nice video

You have nice English for 2-nd language go more videos with you voice

ironic how NFS No Limits has in-app purchases meaning there are in fact limits....

The fact that he actually made a really really good list, I saw under ground 2 at second and was like wtf but then I saw most wanted and I was like oh shit I forgot hahah

I play Nfs Undercover on ps3 and i agree with you, the games bugs and crash A LOT, everytime i change my car and go back on the street, the map don't load and two things might happen: 1- the game falls into the void if i accelerate but i can fix this by starting the nearest race. 2- the game crashes. The AI is kinda crappy aswell like you said, sometimes if feels like the pilots are not even trying and the other times its like you're racing online with the best racers of the world, the NPC cars is bad too, if you happen to run into one its like you hit a wall, same goes with the opponents and the police cars aswell, speaking of police, their spawning is quite odd too, sometimes when you hear them talking about you nobody is here and the other times they are too much of them, and most of the time they will react everytime you're not on the road or if you happen to ram into a NPC or even worse if even a NPC rams into you (yes it can happen, it did to me a lot) But i played it so much that i started to get used to it At least it isn't that bad as Most Wanted 2012

Racers aren't called pilots they're called Drivers

15. Pro Street 14. Payback 13. Rivals 12. Shift 11. Hot Pursuit 2 10. The Run 9. Most Wanted (2012) 8. Heat 7. Undercover 6. Hot Pursuit (2010) 5. Need for Speed (2015) 4. Underground 1 3. Most Wanted (2005) 2. Underground 2 1. Carbon

Is it weird there is Wii music playing and Tommy is in my recommended

Hey man You voice is very good I felt very relaxed after listening your sound an you pronunciation is just to the next level Keep it up!!!!! ☺️

For me, NFS Most Wanted and Carbon will always be the most unique and best NFS from the Franchise. ☯️

Payback is my favorite!!! Yes, the building mechanics suck, but the racing is amazing!!! Speedx rocks!!! The online speedlist is flawless 👌🏼

16:09 It's because the development studio, which made it was shut down in early 2020, so no updates.

Ey Nice comentary for the first time

I like NFS Underground the best, the original one. As a kid born in the year 2000 in eastern Europe, my understanding of English was nonexistent. And I found it too difficult to understand how to play NFS U2 when I was 6 or so. And the first game was quite a lot easier to understand and play. I found it really hard at times but never stopped playing and when I beat the story finally my thrill had no end. Sadly I couldn't understand the controls and where to go in NFS U2 so I couldn't play it at the time and now that I speak fluently the graphics cannot hold me for too long.

Okay, I have the same question as you but inverted: Why do people prefer MW over Underground 2? Well my fav is the latter. Maybe I just feel more nostalgia towards Underground 2, as it was the first NFS I ever played and got me hocked into the franchise. However, I can point out a few things I prefer in Underground 2: the nighttime style, the city structure and design, the best car Nizzan 350Z (I was never a fan of BMWs, hence being somewhat disappointed with the choice in MW), the soundtrack and probably a couple of other details that I can't remember now. Also, I really don't get the hate for Undercover. When I played it I enjoyed it a lot. I don't have recollection of the bugs mentioned. Anyway, great watch while I ate my dinner ^^ Thanks for putting this together 2 years ago and thanks for the subs as well.

I aggree with you, I know it's 2022 but I still play NFS Carbon on my new PC because I can't run the new games. I first played it on the PS2 then me and my brother got NFS Underground 2, I also remember playing NFS The Run on my mom's PC and NFS Most Wanted from 2005 on my uncle's over powered PC (his PC was 0.5m thick, 1m wide and 1,3m tall, that was a beast made for gaming)

Need for speed underground 2 is the best non sim racing game even now imo... I never played pro street tbh i thought shift was better. Guess i have to try it.

23: Didn't play it. 22: Didn't play it. 21: I can see why someone wouldn't like the game from a modern point of view. I personally believe while this game is outdated, it's definitely still really thrilling and fun to play. The handling is atrocious compared to modern games that's true, but that's actually the fun part for me. It's adding some challenge and satisfaction when you beat a Ferrari F50 in a Ferrari F355 in 3 laps around Mystic Peaks. Also the soundtrack is still godlike so I believe there's definitely worse (modern) games than this. 20: Funny, Undercover was actually one of my favorite NFS games. I personally never experienced any bugs whatsoever (the game crashed once after 5 hours of gameplay but that's about it) and the story is usually forgettable in NFS games anyway. Even the wacky handling is something you can get used to with a little practice, and is incredibly fun. It feels like driving a go-kart with a rocket strapped to it. Maybe it's the fact that I like unrealistic handling in games as long as I have a smile on my face. The only real issue I have with this game is that the graphics could have been better for a game of its time. I know you can turn off this nasty blur effect but still. 19: Totally agree. 18: Didn't play it. 17: Mostly agree. I mean the game is a broken mess from a technical point of view (I even fell through the ground sometimes) but EA got so close to the perfect formula with this game. The fact that you can play as a racer AND a cop, choose to race ingame, compete against your friends and use weapons etc. is such an incredibly good and fun idea, and it's a shame it didn't get a quality remaster. 16: Didn't play them. 15: Mostly agree. The game could have been longer (or at least appropriate to the time ACTUALLY required to travel from San Francisco to New York). The Multiplayer is fun but pretty laggy at times, and you'll constantly hear the microphone rustling from other players. The handling is something to get used to, especially in the El Camino. 14: Didn't play it. 13: Mostly agree. I didn't play the game until 2018 so I couldn't really experience how Pay 2 Win it was. What I can say is, it's very fun to play, on any server. 12-10: Didn't play them. 9: Totally agree. I only hate it when the police 180s me and I can't make a quick escape. 8: 100% agree. I personally believe this is the best Need For Speed game of all time. Good music, great graphics, fun cars, and I can drive some of my favorite cars in the world. For a game made in 2010 it holds up incredibly well. 7: Didn't play it. 6-5: Didn't play it, but I might get them eventually. 4: Totally agree. 3: 100% agree. I actually think this game is much better than its predecessor. 2: Only played it for an hour or two at a friend. Might buy it someday. 1: Ah, just as I expected. The most overrated NFS game is at the top. Honestly this game got so boring after playing it through for like the 4th time. The police is incredibly stupid, the races are very repetitive and long, the graphics and the yellow bloom effect were straight up terrible. Oh and the soundtrack... so edgy, tasteless and poorly chosen. I never understood why so many people love this game when Carbon and Underground got so many things right/better instead.

I personally think, people are praising too much MW. When you go deeper in the game... or you turn off the nostalgia mode. you have pretty buggy mess, with weird ai and scrapped and used assets from previous titles.... The game doesnt actually doesnt age that well like Undergroun 2, Pro Street or NFS HP2010 ( and maybe even the NFS HP II)

In today’s term it’s understandable NFSII hot pursuit got its rating but at the same time it came out in 1997 lol. Im sure back then its all they could do and people enjoyed it for what it was. Everything else(except undercover coming right after nfs2) i find pretty fair and understandable ig

So you rated nfs nitro as the worst just because it never got popular, real professional dude

I liked the physics of NFS the Run.

nfs 2015 was supposed to be an online game due to world be shut down and other stuff

Bro your english is good, don't worry about this ! You are doing a great job ! :)

When You Said That NFS 2012 Looks Like Burnout, I Imagined A Burnout Paradise But With Real Cars xD

I love nfs most wanted 2005...and I played it more than 80 times......what an interesting and incredible game...must play

Firstly, and unsurprisingly, I do indeed not agree with this list, although I do respect that this is your list (and not mine). The only game I would contest on is NFS II. Yes, not the best physics of the series, and sometimes the cars did handle like boats, but then, the game did have multiple handling modes (arcade, simulator and wild). Did you try all three modes and then conclude that the handling was not up to your expectations? Because braking before entering a corner is quite standard practice, and especially with these old supercars that had no traction control or anything, they had to be driven like that. Handling aside, the game did was great fun with the variety of tracks and cars, the showcases, and also the soundtrack was epic. With that said, I will go ahead and say, just because of the way you put your forward opinions (rather than ranting against the games you hate like so many RU-vidrs do), and because your first try and doing this in English was well good, I enjoyed this video. Good job!

Top NFS games were Rivals ,Hot pursuit 2010, NFS 2015 😍😍😍😍

Most wanted will remain the best game ever in history of racing games. I wonder why they can't make a title like Most Wanted these days.

Honestly unless someone can speak multiple languages fluently they cant talk shit to you.. You speak fine Good video.

Your differing opinions are respected.

burninrubber: hi guys wlcome to my new video. Today i wll talk about *need for speed* *STRESS LEVEL 99%*

Most Wanted '05 on pc with full HD and the Modern Rockport mod. Easily the best way to play the game in 2020. The ONLY way, imho.

Tbh nfs the run has good handling and much more immersive than most of the nfs imo

Spend hours using Prostreet for ebisu drifting But It dwarfs the hours spend with most wanted 05'

A very good video bro, congratulations. But my prefered nfs is still NFS Carbon x)

The best 5 nfs,without midnight club or la rush 1-nfs hot pursuit 2010 2-nfs rivals,this nfs without new mustang is much better 3-nfs underground 2 4-nfs carbon 2006 the arcade drift is beaultiful and hard 5-nfs most wanted 2005-i hate new mustang mods

Nice work bro... Hope your efforts pays off..

NFS UG2 is very boring, i have a slow pc and those exaggerated laps are just boring bc it takes wayyyy too long, just to complete 1 lap and repeat even with a faster pc it will still be boring due to the long races and laps.

Amazing video!

NFS Most Wanted #1 ... I hope that making new version of MW with same story or continue,,, 🌹🌹

I am probably the only person in the world with this opinion - but NFS Most Wanted 2005 was my least favorite of them all, I found the story way too cringey as a kid, I just wanted to race, and I quickly put it down and deemed it the most boring NFS game lol

NFS Undercover and NFS Rivals are not bad low games In fact they're the one of the only best NFS With a Good Story and Rivals is Like Hot Pursuit Seriously if you hate those games so much why don't you Not make NFS Rankings at all

You're accent sounds like japanese! Are japanese btw?

Agree most wanted 2012 was my favourite

I agree with you. Good work 👍

26:38 you can customize supercars in heat

And then unbound . Is good . Not perfect has a few flaws but if you want heat with actuall suport and with a interesting art style this is for you .

Nfs 2015 was the best racing game ive ever seen

Nfs payback vs nfs carbon you have any ideas of that? Please and I lot of trouble of that please

You put The Run ABOVE Payback? What the hell is worng with you?!

May I ask you where are you from?

i cant argue with you my guy

i played Underground 2 on PC and still today

Nfs heat is the best modern nfs in my opinion second is unbound

Nfsuc and nfsmw 2012 is better than nfs psp,nfs no limits and nfs mw mobile

Your accent is funny, cool video though

21: NFS II 20: NFS Undercover Well, that escalated quickly

Actually Ghost games planned alot for Heat, but due to EA typical fashion of closing down studios+ the Pandemic, thats why Heat lacks some post games update (despite being a good NFS game)

Payback was boring bc it didn't have Cops roaming around.

It doesn't seem like half an hour video, right to point and straight forward. Appreciated

I like Nfs Underground, Nfs Underground 2 ;)

i enjoy your commentary - don't be afraid to make more - good job on the video :)

your grammar is fantastic, but i wonder how you dont have experience pronouncing words, keep up the good work

For me, Carbon will always be the best thing they ever did. I wish the game had longer story and more cars. Next will be ofc Most Wanted, Underground 2 Hot Pursuit

What I find lacking in Most Wanted is difficulty selection because if you are somewhat experienced with racing games you breeze through the game in a few days. Meanwhile, right now I'm trying Underground 2 on hard difficulty and I'm struggling. ProStreet is giving me a run for my money too. The start of the campaign is easy but once you progress further into the carrer it gets tough. With Most Wanted lacking drift and Carbon lacking drag, I preffer ProStreet over them both. I don't dislike Underground 1 per say, I just find it too repetitive. I never really had condition to afford anything past Playstation 2 and only recently adquired a more potent PC, so I'm yet to try any of the recent Need for Speed titles (I have only ever played from U1 to ProStreet, really). Based on your commentary, I'm looking forward to try Need for Speed 2015, Heat and 2010's Hot Pursuit eventually.

i mean it's easy to say underground 2 and carbon and most wanted are the best nfs games. but i appreciate your nod on pro street which i was expecting it to be lower as usual. i liked it a lot as well. and i liked that you put nfs 3 on so high. it was my first nfs game so it holds a special place for me

i played NFS underground 2 most of the time and it's my favorite nfs game

Cross: I want every single unit after the guy😐 Everyone? EVERYONE!!!🤪🤪

Ah yes, "comfor table to drive"

I respect that this is your list, but I do want to say something about the first couple of Need For Speed games. They couple where not meant as arcade racers that they became starting with NFSIII. the very first was actually considered a racing simulator. The second was a bit of an in between game. But when you said that you didn't like having to brake in almost every corner, that was because they were trying (not necessarily succeeding) at trying to be more realistic. Again this is your list and you not liking having to do that is ok. Just wanted to let you know why it was a thing.

In my opinion, Payback could have been an amazing game if it had the customization of Heat and Unbound. The location had so much potential.

This may seem a bit strange, but here is an addition from a fan of MW2012. Microtransactions in my eyes, ruin everything and strangely(else I didn't notice the true number) DLCs cost more than the actual game itself. And yeah, the ones who still play online are mostly mad psychopaths on Bugatti and Koenigsegg, slamming into you at any moment.

I prefer: Underground. Underground 2. Most wanted. Carbon. Pro street. Why? Because these titles have no freshness, micro transactions, and the most important factor! WORK WITHOUT INTERNET !!!!

i feel like nfsu2 is so overrated. altough the physics and the costumization available are good, the game loop is so bad. super long races, money rewards are low, the game forces u to have certain visual parts so u can get ur visual rating higher, u spen a lot of time driving just to get to the races. as someone who only played underground 2 recently the game didnt feel that good to play, its boring to a certain degree. not too say that game is bad, cause its not, its just overrated due too nostalgia

Undercover is underrated

That's dope editing bruh! Had you not mentioned about the language thing in the beginning, I wouldn't have bothered at all. Keep up!

Hey, everyone is entitled to their own opinions and I don't see a problem with that. Ignore the trolls. :)

Payback is so much better than Heat, here in the french community it's 100% sure !

My Top 5 Best NFS Games: 1. Most Wanted 2005 2. Underground 2 3. Carbon 4. Heat 5. The Run My Top 5 out of pure enjoyment: 1. Heat 2. Carbon 3. Underground 2 4. Most Wanted 5. The Run Very unpopular I know. I prefer night racing over day racing that's why Heat, U2, and Carbon is over MW. I like The Run for the story and epicness

"Electronic Arts threw it down the toilet" That sounds like the EA we all know and (love) hate.

Sad how they never did nfsmw 2005 great again... They tried it three times: 2008 Undercover and it was straight trash with bugs and nfs world was just like the same game and didn’t get so much hype than the 2005 one and 2012 nfsmw and it was such a disaster bc it was nothing like nfsmw2005 and was sadly criterion’s last game :( I really miss criterion

People rate underground 2 so high just because of nostalgia. I know that game was ahead of its time. And i had best time ever playing that game at those times. But Carbon And Most Wanted is better by a lightyears in every aspect.

Nice video, I started with the PS1 version of Porsche Unleashed when I was a kid and being the stupid idiot that I am I didn't realize it was a NFS back then. I wasn't much into the Black Box era of NFS, but then I played Carbon and I had tons of fun with it, my favourite out of all. As for your accent, I think it is very interesting, I kind of really like it to be honest, it's different from what I've heard before, really smooth and quite elegant actually.

My personal top: (If im missing something is because i didnt play it yet) 1) Need For Speed 3 Hot Pursuit (The best by far imo, so perfect even to this day) 2) High Stakes 3) Most Wanted 4) Carbon 5) Underground 2 6) Underground 1 7) Payback 8) Own The City 9) Most Wanted 2012 10) Need For Speed 2 11) Need For Speed 1

I don't get it why people hated Rivals' soundtrack just because it's obnoxious. Rivals' soundtrack is a banger compared to Heat and Unbound with their shitty hiphop tracks, Rivals' soundtrack is more like pressing the Nitrous whenever their favorite song of MW 2005 plays like Decadence, except that they are EDM songs, which is definitely fitting from the game's environment. Anyways, disagree with Rivals at #17, it should have made it into the Top 10, even it's underrated.

honestly u r wrong cuz dont mind but i think u have just played nfs games before 2013 becuz you have given rivals a wrong position i know 05 is really great but i think rivals is better than anything. as i have played all of nfs games for more than 9 mos i can say that rivals is best
