Summary

NEED FOR SPEED 2, the second game in the series, puts a new twist on racing, as it includes high-performance cars and open-road racing. When you factor in some beautifully rendered scenery, you've got yourself a top-notch racing game. As with the first NEED FOR SPEED, you can choose from a variety of high-performance machines, including the Dodge Viper, Lamborghini, Ferrari, Porsche, Corvette, Mazda RX7, Toyota Supra Turbo, and Acura NSX. The game also features split-screen two-player racing that lets you and a friend go at it.
