This game is definetly a winner... I bought it when it came out last year and have not gotten bored playing it since... The graphics freezing up are sometimes a bother. you might be trying to get around a spike strip and the graphics freeze and you can't tell where you are going, and either hit it or crash. However, this problem rarely happens. This game has good racing modes, although I wished there was some more detail to some of them. It also has a good collection of cars, though not exquisite. The graphics are ok, but could be better, and the slower loading times are annoying. Overall, it rocks the racing/driving line of Playstation games.

need for speed is best game.

This is nothing shy of a excellent game to play. I think this is one of the best racing games to play and being able to be a cop is the best, and if your the type of person that likes to have codes for your games, this one has an excellent selection of cheats codes but you'll have to find out where to get them, unless you have a game shark then your in like flynn.

Excellant!!

This game is pretty cool, pulling over speeders and running away from the cops. It is definatly worth the price!

This Game Stinks!

Ha! You thought this was going to be a positive review didn't you? Ha! Ha! And double ha!
I first got Need for Speed: High Stakes when I was six months old, and hated it already. So I ate the CD and it tasted bad.

This game does not play on my PS3

I bought this game the other week and found it would not play on my PS3. I bought it because I used to play it at my friends house back in the day. Before I ordered it, I looked it up on Sony's website and they stated the game had no problems. Anyway, if anyone out there is playing this on a PS3 comment back

Thanks

dissapointing user interface after previous NFS games

High stakes suffers from the same problem as V-Rally 1: the game controls are insufficiently custimizable. You are given a choice between both steering and accelerate/brake on the left stick or steering on the left and binary acceleration. What were they thinking? PlayStation's great advantage for driving games is dual analog sticks. NFS3 utilized this feature as did GT, GT2 and VRally 2. For this reason alone, NFS 3 is a far more playable game. You won't get the traditional supercars in GT2, but either GT game or NFS 3 is a much better choice.

Compare with other games

NFS:High Stakes is similar to Gran Turismo, but the graphics are more like those of Spyro. Though NFS wants a different car selection (three instead of two, more variation), the car damage feature and wider selection of games make it as good or better than GT1.

This is, without a doubt, the best racing game for the Playstation. Nothing comes close.There are so many different ways to play this game. You can race against the computer,race against a friend, or if you really want some fun...You can chase speeders. Or, You can be the bad guy! You also, Can earn extra tracks and cars. The hardest track to earn is called "Snowy Ridge". On this track, You get to race in the snow! What more could a race game have.So, Buy this game.... .....Hopefully they will make this game for the Playstation 2 ! Enjoy
