É um jogo bem divertido de corrida e eu lembro de gostar do modo Hot Pursuit porque eu podia simplesmente jogar os outros carros na parede sem dó.
ACAB
At the time when it was released - it was the most bad ass racing game available on the market. It had amazing look, great music, acab vibe and fresh ideas. In retrospect it’s interesting to see that this series tried to make a new things and come up with something fresh . Like the following 5th part Porsche Unleashed that is dedicated to Porsche cars solely or iconic NFS Underground.
Lately there is nothing interesting or fresh in the series, just a NFS label and corporate marketing “try to please everyone” approach.

Just a fun racing game, good graphics for the console. That’s all.
this diablo and dodge viper haunted me in my ps1 era
Talvez o Need For Speed que eu mais joguei na minha vida
Simples e direto ao ponto ao melhor estilo corrida arcade de "apenas selecione o seu carro e vá correr". Quem sabe não seja o melhor jogo de corrida desse estilo... Você definitivamente não precisa se preocupar com nada além de correr, mas isso não quer dizer que o jogo seja raso ou sem conteúdo, muito pelo contrário.
Com 5 modos de jogo: Knockout (a cada volta um é eliminado), Practice (contra o relógio), Single Race (corrida normal), Hot Pursuit (o clássico contra a polícia) e Tournament (torneio de 8 corridas). Todos os modos são extremamente divertidos de jogar, inclusive por conta da ÓTIMA seleção de carros ( 8 no total) e da PERFEITA quantidade e qualidade de pistas, que na minha opinião, são as melhores dos NFS de PS1.
Existem dois modos de jogabilidade, a arcade e a simulation, mas sei lá, não senti taaanta diferença entre elas, sendo a simulation, deixando a dirigibilidade um pouco mais dura apenas. No geral, é bem fácil e gostoso de jogar, embora em algumas curvas o carro deslize de uma forma um pouco estranha e, para mim, esse é o único ponto negativo que eu teria a ressaltar.
A trilha sonora é uma marca registrada dos NFS de PS1, sem muito o que dizer aqui, pois TODAS combinam com as pistas e momentos do jogo e do torneio.
Esse game era um dos que eu mais repetia no meu PS1 e vai continuar sendo um dos que eu mais vou repetir no emulador. Foi muito legal relembrar essa experiência.

This was my first NFS game and it remains one of the better entries 20+ years later.
Probably the first NFS game I would actually consider playable.
They've finally fixed the handling. Handbrake won't send your car spinning anymore, but the collision model is still horrendous, so hitting your opponent will. There is this weird auto-correction thing going on, where every time you turn a little, your car returns to the forward direction, but that doesn't affect the gameplay much.
Visually I found the game kinda boring, there's only a couple of pretty-looking tracks. And the PC version strangely looks like an emulated PS1 version. Even on the max settings there is pop-in and that weird deformation of textures and models that you usually see in PS1 games. The music was pretty decent, but kinda forgettable.
I like how much customization you have in almost every aspect of the game. You can tweak your car's stats and handling, radically change the HUD, select the class of the cars in the race and even alter some of the track's settings. There is now an option for precipitation, and the night mode actually feels like night now, although there are still little to no streetlights, making the more urban areas look like ghost-towns. In fact I kinda hated the night-mode, it's like driving in near-complete darkness.
The one thing that prevented me from enjoying this game the most was the absolutely insane difficulty. I could not beat the first track in the tournament even on the beginner setting. The only way I was able to start winning was by playing the Single Race mode and selecting a Class A car for myself and Class C cars for opponents. But even then you gotta make little to no mistakes, as the game is unforgiving.
I would say its sequel, Hot Pursuit 2, is an improvement in pretty much every way, rendering the original obsolete. There is literally nothing here that HP2 doesn't do better.

It is undoubtedly the best of the trilogy. This racing game introduced many new features that made it an outstanding title. One of the most exciting features is the new cars available. There are a wide range of vehicles here, each with their own unique characteristics, allowing players to choose the car that best suits their driving style.
In addition, the new race tracks offer a varied and engaging gaming experience. The tracks are carefully designed, with breathtaking curves, long straights and scenic vistas that capture players' attention.
The soundtrack deserves special praise. The tracks selected are energetic and well suited to the atmosphere of the game, pushing players to fully immerse themselves in the action of high-speed racing.
The Hot Pursuit mode is one of the highlights of this title and stands out from other racing games of the era. By allowing players to be fugitives, this mode offers a unique perspective on car racing. Players can enjoy the challenge of escaping or trying to avoid capture by the police. This innovation adds an element of tactics and strategy to racing, making the gameplay even more compelling.
It is a game I highly recommend to all car racing lovers and action game enthusiasts.

It's alr, overrated as fuck tho. Maybe I'm just too used to more structured racing games idk. The Hot Pursuit stuff is p sick but I cannot take going through another boring ass tournament like the first game.
A minha infância mora nesse jogo e às vezes, no silêncio da noite, a música de Menu toca na minha cabeça.
What a SIMPLE racing game. That's not to say I didn't have my fun with it, because I did. It may be dated now, but I cherish the memories I had with playing it with my cousins.
highly underrated as both a need for speed game and a ps1 racer generally, nfs3: hot pursuit is one of my favourite games on the whole system. theres nothing more exhilarating than finally mastering a corner and drifting through it at high speed, or driving down a long stretch of track whilst subtly darting left and right to avoid hazards. i love this game. it looks great for the time, and the tracks can get plenty challenging if that's what you're looking for.
the music kinda sucks though, but it's a little bit cool because i think it's, like, dynamic? like if you're going really fast or through a specific part of a track the music will increase in intensity, its cool, but the songs can get grating after a while. other than that, this game rulez

I didn't play this when it was new, but if I did, I feel like I would've absolutely hated this. Because I kinda hate it now. It feels like complete shit, the bots rubberband so much, and even at its fastest, everything feels slow and sluggish. It's wild to me that this is early grounds for Need For Speed, considering its output after this game.
Even my kid self would be falling asleep to this nonsense after coming off an F-Zero X trip back then.

Where the series finally starts to hit it's stride. Only took 3 games to get here.
Loved the tournament, knockout modes and split-screen multiplayer with my bros!
Drive a Diablo, and expect to be the center of attention wherever you go. It's that kind of car.
Nothing to say, just another amazing game from the old NFS games tetralogy, always rockin' the hell out of the OST (ofc while driving the Diablo)
The first racing game I ever played, and the only NFS game I’ve played if I remember correctly. I was like 3 or 4 at the time when I first played it on PS1, won’t ever forget this game because it’s what got me to love Midnight Club. This rating may be a but high for a game I barely remember, but fuck it.
bom pra krl ta maluco
Donde empezó todo.
Hell of an improvement over NFS2, I'll tell you that much. Game felt better, had better physics, had more modes to do, shorter races, its all here. Outrunning the cops is also fun to do and provides extra thrill to the races. Definitely the best NFS game I've played so far, and I'm curious to see how the sequels improve upon it, if they do at all.
Playable NFS game, this one has some inventive tracks.
I wish Aquatica was real. Rainbow Road could never.
Loved everything about this at the time, even though our video card had issues rendering the light effects. Great soundtrack, too, and I even liked looking at actual car interiors in the info areas.
edit: I have since played it again and it has not held up like I remember in the slightest. But that soundtrack still boppin'

Need for Speed Retrospective #3
Despite police chases already being present in the very first NfS game, Hot Pursuit is the first in the series to really lean into the 'illegal' part of the racing fantasy. The police having new moves and proper AI makes the mode into a fun little distraction.
You could say that NfS III feels more like an addon to its predecessor than a standalone game, but with more cars, improved handling and a number of interesting tracks, there's still loads of fun to be had here.

It is basically High Stakes, but without the good progression. The tracks here are in the next game too. But the driving physics in this one is better.
This is a massive improvement over the previous title. Almost everything has been refined and reworked. In short, this and Need For Speed: High Stakes are the only worthwhile entries in the PS1 era of NFS games.
Ah yes, when Need for Speed started turning from a racing game into a crime promoter.
Baita upgrade. Holy hell QUE jogo. Vale começar por aqui definitivamente.
