Even without these additions, this is a top notch racer, and with them, it's a cracker. There are several additions with this Special Edition, including improved graphics, several new cars, a new track and the option to race in reverse and on mirrored tracks. There are several modes to try out, including single race, tournament, and knock out, while you can also customize quite a few options for your car and opponents. There are six main tracks to race on, although completing them all does open a new one, but this last track is more like an arcade racer. You have some pretty exotic beasts to try out, including the Mclaren F1, Ferrari F50 and Ford GT90, each of which will really test your driving skills. The game sees you taking control of one of eight super cars and taking part in an epic series of races from Australia to Nepal. This Special Edition of the second game in the series is actually a pretty solid effort and still stands up well today, nearly twenty years after its original release, so if you want to jump back in time for a bit of racing action, this makes for a good bet. The Need for Speed franchise is one of the biggest names in driving games in history, standing alongside Test Drive and the legendary Outrun as an industry legend.
