The 4th sequel & 3rd best in series, NFS-Porsche Unleashed is a very peaceful game it doesn't justify the title NFS.

This game is exactly 1 Decade old, i can't believe how time flies by, it seems like yesterday...now it has the status "Oldie but Goldie".It's 100% dedicated to Porsche Cars & Porsche Enthusiats so this is exactly what holds me to give it 9.0-it doesn't have universal appeal, it's a restrained game, if you don't know it you could swear that it's only a bonus game to something else, an expansion sort of.The majority of the locations are from France & some from Germany.It has wonderfull landscapes & a peaceful gameplay, i could immersive myself for countles hours without noticing how time goes by in the real world, but the electro soundtrack doesn't fit at all-uninspired from this point of view.The graphics are still good tough-7/10.The game doesn't offer Real Speed, Extreme Speed it's more for old people.
There are 2 Major modes to spend your time with this game-the Easy one "Evolution" where you go through Porsches entire History from 1950 to 2000.It's divided into 3 Eras-Classic(1950-1970), Golden(1970-1980) & Modern(1980-1999).You drive cars from the respective eras only.You get credits & have the ability to buy, sell, repair & establish the price of the car that you want to sell, you can negociate it's price-it's very interesting.After you complete an Era you get a bonus race where you have the chance to win a customized Porsche only if you finish 1st...& the 2nd mode-the Hard one "Factory Driver" where you play the role of a test driver at the Porsche Company & get to meet the Real Porsche officials that are behind the concept.The tasks are very hard-you need a lots of skill & nerves of steel to complete all the challenges & there many of them.As you progress through the challenges your rank in the Porsche Team Rises & you get more privileges & also more responsibility.The multiplayer is great-it offers great fun & entertainment.My favourite track is probably Autobahn which means Highway.
Bottom Line:Porsche Unleashed is the 3rd best in series after 3-Hot Pursuit & 4-High Stakes.These 2 titles have true universal appeal to car enthusiats.

    The Black Sheep of NFS

    Porsche Unleashed is the black sheep of the Need for Speed series. The feel, the handling, the game modes are different than the conventional NFS game. With that being said, it is the best one out of the NFS series. ... Read Full Review
