๐ŸŽฎNeed for Speed II

1997 | EA Seattle

One thing that made the first few Need for Speed games great is how unique every track was, since they were set in completely different environments and not in a shared open world. Here you can see laps on all 8 tracks in Need for Speed 2 SE, which was released in 1997. I also used a different car on every track, always from the car class that is used for the respective track in tournament mode. Timeline: 0:08 Proving Grounds (Norway) with McLaren F1 (Class A) 1:27 Outback (Australia) with Ford GT90 (Class A) 3:21 Last Resort (Mexico) with Jaguar XJ220 (Class B) 5:31 North Country (Northern Europe) with Italdesign Calร  (Class C) 8:08 Pacific Spirit (Canada) with Lotus GT1 (Class A) 10:30 Mediterraneo (Greece) with Italdesign Nazca C2 (Class B) 12:34 Mystic Peaks (Nepal) with Lotus Esprit V8 (Class C) 15:38 Monolithic Studios (United States) with Ferrari F50 (Class A) As usual I spent a lot of time recording to be able to show you fast and clean runs. On some of the tracks I practiced for more than an hour. Just like in NFS 1 the physics in NFS 2 also haven't aged perfectly though, so a couple of walls were still touched. Starting with NFS 3 things should become very smooth though. I didn't plan to include any bloopers or funny moments here but one happened to occur right after the end of a great lap, so I decided to leave it in. :P NFS 2 also has interactive music for each track, which changes depending on the part of the track that you are in. The game includes 4 more regular cars with the Ford Indigo, Isdera 112i (Class B), Ferrari 355 F1 and Mustang Mach III (Class C). There are also 3 fictional bonus cars with the Bomber BFS, Tombstone and FZR 2000. Monolithic Studios is a bonus track that is unlocked after winning a knockout competition. I might make similar videos for NFS 3 and 4 as well, since they got very awesome and unique circuit tracks too. I already showed the circuit tracks of NFS 1 here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vqacqZHeuOg
