Need for Speed Retrospective #2
Booting this up you instantly know you'll be in for a good time. The colourful cartoonish graphics have aged gracefully, the driving feels fast, grippy and responsive. Despite never having appeared in the arcades, NfS II feels exactly like the type of game you would find in an arcade cabinet back in the day.
The showcasing part is still there, but this time the driving is the focus. The choice of cars, tracks and modes is still very bare-bones, but what is there is fun and I can easily see myself driving around in circles for hours in this game just to relax.
