I’m revisiting Underground 2 right now. I’m not an NFS connoisseur by any means, but it’s amazing to me how well it holds up. Maybe it’s just nostalgia but I love the atmosphere.
 
My all time best NFS games are:

Need For Speed II

Need For Speed Most Wanted

Need For Speed The Run

I wish for a remaster NFS Porsche Unleased with all new (2025) cars!!!!

Somehow I don't think I've ever played a NFS game. Hot Pursuit Remastered is one of the free PS Plus games this month so I will remedy this personal failure.
 
Hot Pursuit 2 will always be one of, if not my number 1 video game of all time. As recently as a couple years ago I would fire up the PS2 and play through it to near completion. Unfortunately, left my PS2 and my NFSHP2 copy at an ex girlfriends house and it ended up in a Goodwill box (mistakenly not maliciously I should say)

After that, High Stakes and HP1 will always hold a special place in my heart as one of the reasons I ever got into cars and video games at all
 
High Stakes on PSX is my absolute favourite.

It also seems to be the most refined from EA Canada. Eden did great with Porsche 2000. Any Black Box era game eats Criterion or Ghost releases, specially with game direction (with some exceptions). It's so difficult to chose a game from them because even when flawed, they are quite special.

Past that, I think NFS peaked with Hot Pursuit 2010. And on a side note, I think SMS never did a greater game than Shift 2.

I forgot another favorite NFS game of mine that I owned back in 2012-2018, Need For Speed: The Run. I sold my ps3 in 2018, I owned one that could play ps2 and ps3 games.

I need to find the NFS: Hot Pursuit Remastered Collection game for the Playstation 5.
 
All the PS1 era NFS games aka the first 5 games are my favorite since they are just the most memorable playing them with my brothers.

Played Hot Pursuit 2 and the two Underground games, but after that I lost interest in the series and missed out on many of them until Hot Pursuit (2010).

Funnily enough with the timing of this thread, I am currently playing NFS Heat after trying out some of the modern games for the first time.
 
Depends on the version to be honest:

Playstation:

1. High Stakes
2. NFS III: Hot Pursuit
3. Hot Pursuit 2
4. Road & Track Presents: The Need For Speed
5. Hot Pursuit 2010/Remaster

PC:
1. High Stakes
2. Road & Track Presents: The Need For Speed SE
3. NFS III: Hot Pursuit
4. Porsche Unleashed
5. NFS II SE
 
I grew up with ther earlier NFS

Love the NFS SE by R&T, because that was the first one I played
Then nFS II Hot Pursuit, continue with a couples after that, including the Porsche Unleashed

After that I got hooked on GT2 and the rest is history...


Here is the latest news tho:

Personally I don't care so much, because I never enjoyed any of the NSF 2005 onward... Wasn't attracted to the Fast and Furious style of racing..

You forgot this one, my all-time favorite from 2003-2010 when I had my ps2 around. Miss all the cop chases, and special events. They were split up in two sections. World Racing Championship and the Ultimate Racer.

Those cops had some smart and crazy traps. The spiked ones got me about 90% of the time and I'd lose the race and have to start over.
