Which is bets need for speed game?

NFS Porsche is the one for me. Miles above anything that came after it in the NFS series. Too bad it's pretty outdated these days.
 
How can people say Most Wanted? Am I the only one bothered by the quite frankly unsubtle and plain alarming rubberbanding AI and foul catch up logic?

I mean what's the point in upgrading your car if the AI gets a boost to make them faster than you if they're behind? Totally defies the point of a driving game?

What are you saying? Prochse is still king?
 
Never been a fan of the handling in nfs games, always felt the cars steered like a bus, while the AI got some cars that could handle youre left with a tank of some sort. Although I do think theyre decent games.

I like the shift games though and the cars still handle like boats, juls mod does go some way to correct it in shift 2 its some way off gran turismo quality handling though.

I have race 07, I find I cant use manual gears with a gamepad as I think it requires two brains so I dont think Im playing it properly.
 
I still think the very first one was the best. Loved it on the 3DO, was nothing else quite like it at the time. I'll admit it almost certainly hasn't aged well though. :)
 
Porsche 2000 for me:

-Great cars (fully upgraded '78 911 Turbo 3.3l is one of the most fun to drive cars in any game I've played)
-Decent damage model that promotes skilful driving without being overly draconian
-In general a good balance between arcade and semi-sim style, again the handling is forgiving while still not letting you drift round every bend
-Decent gfx
-Great tracks
-Evolution mode feels really nice, rather than progressing from hot hatches up to supercars as in most arcade racers, you are moving through the ages with Porsche

In fact, Porsche 2000 is the only racing game I've completed multiple times I think, with the possible exception of Motorhead.
