Have you ever played the Need for Speed racing series? If you have, you've probably raced down snowy mountains, sliced through desert tracks, and dodged Police pursuit. No doubt this was very fun, and in my opinion it made NFS the best racing series on the market. The release of Need for Speed Hot Pursuit 2 marked the first NFS gameto be released for the PS2, and thus the first graphically advanced NFS. After the immense success of that game, myself and many others awaited the next NFS with high hopes. But sadly, NFS took a new direction. Illegal street racing. After HP2, EA (the makers ofNFS) released Need for Speed: Underground, a game basedupon tuning your "ride" and building your "rep", and not on pure racing. Granted, lots of people liked this game. But lots of people didn't. However, EA continued to release street racing games, corrupting the series into full street racing. They then released Underground 2, followed by a game called 'Most Wanted', then a game called 'Carbon'. Finally, EA is soon releasing the latest game of the series, called NFS Pro Street. This game ditches the street racing and turns to racing onclosed tracks. But for all I can see, tuning is still there. A lack of Cops is still there. And a lack of true, old NFS flare. That is why a group of "Old School" fans have made a petition to be sent to EA in an attempt to save NFS, and hopefully get anothertrue Need for Speed title. That is why I urge you to use the link I will provide below and sign the petition. The fate of quite possibly the best racing series could depend on this.
