Need For Speed Special!

Today I am doing a review on Need for Speed Underground 1&2, Most Wanted, Carbon, and Pro Street.
Now if you are wondering which Need for Speed game you should get look at how Muffin Joe and I rank the 5.

5. Need For Speed Pro Street
Terrible addition to an awesome series.3/10
Need for speed Pro Street is a LEGAL street racing game. No cops, no wandering around the city just racing in 1970's cars. Wow, try again NFS.

Pros,
Okay cars
Free Race is pretty good

Cons,
Career mode is not possible to beat
Career mode is boring
Legal Street racing
Just about everything else

Chris: 3/10
Muffin Joe: N/A

4. Need for Speed Underground 2
Adds on to Underground, but takes away for the most part. 5/10
Don't get me wrong on this one, this game is pretty good with the addition of free roaming. The only issue with that is that there are no cops, that is okay though because the addition of cops came in the 05' Most Wanted. This was the 04' NFS. Now this game is basically a copy of Underground when it comes to racing. Good but I know they could have improved.

Pros,
Free roam
Good Cars

Cons,
Copies Underground
Free roam is semi-pointless
Your friends are a little cheesy

Chris: 5/10
Muffin Joe: N/A

3. Need for speed Carbon
Mix between Underground and Most Wanted 5/10
If you are a beginner at this game don't worry, at the beginning if you get in a cop chase you have to touch the cops to immobilize them. It goes from way easy to way hard a little quicker than what you would hope for.

Pros,
Cars (just like always)
Easy to begin with
Gets addicting after a while

Cons,
Doesn't improve on Most wanted at all
Pointless story

Chris: 6/10
Muffin Joe: 4/10

2. Need For Speed Underground
Good start to a good series. 8/10
This game got a better score because it was the birth of the Need for speed series. All around it is pretty good. The races are good, career mode is fine. All around a good game. In career mode you are just supposed to get the nicest, fastest car, and you need a good reputation.

Pros,
Cars
Good races
Lots of races
Difficult to beat

Cons,
No free roam
Not the most addicting game

Chris: 8/10
Muffin Joe: N/A

1. Need for Speed Most Wanted
Best of the NFS series BY FAR. 9.5/10
There is no question that Most Wanted is the best addition to the NFS collection. First of the series to involve the cops. In this game it has a stupid story. That is the only down side. You race the 15th on the blacklist (Razor Callihan) and he messes with your car and he steals it and that is your only motivation to get to the top of the blacklist. Other than that the game is awesome.

Pros,
Cheesy cut scenes are funny to watch.
Best NFS
Lots of freedom
Lots to do
Fun Races/Events
Awesome Cop chases

Cons,
Stupid story

Chris: 10/10
Muffin Joe: 9/10
