Need for Speed 5 Porsche Unleashed (PC)

I have never in my life seen such an amazing game!! The graphics could hardly be better. Everything is just so detailed. When driving, you get a choice of 4 positions to play from. Just the windscreen, windscreen and dashboard, close up behind the car, and a the best one in my opinion, the over the back view from more of a distance. With this view, you can even see the driver (thats you - you get to pick an identity picture) as he turns the wheel, and changes gear. At the start of the game, you have a number of options. This appears to be kind of 2 games in 1. You can pick the evolution mode, which lets you start in one of the old 1950's Porches, ...  Read the complete review

MMmmmm, Porsche. What else can be said. This game, it must be said, is quite wonderful !. Okay, so it's the fifth game in the series (or is it the 7th including NFSSE and NFS2SE), but nevertheless, this game is a must see. Graphics are wonderfully presented, and the sound is second to none. The support for older pc's must be questioned though, as it does require some meaty machinery. Since though I do have a new PC, I'm okay. But there again, it ran quite smooth on my old P2-400 (o/c'ed from 266). The Evolution mode in the game is quite like the mode in Road Challenge (or High Stakes), and means that you start off in ...  Read the complete review

The Need for Speed series takes a little bit of a diversion in its latest incarnation. Dubbed "Porsche Unleashed", this title focuses solely on a single make of vehicle. From the classic 1950s 356a to the current Boxter, this game features Porsche after Porsche for pure German indulgence. The graphics engine looks very sharp, featuring high resolutions and many special effects. Shiny surfaces, smoke, lighting effects, and skid marks are all included in their 3D accelerated glory. The dash view includes the drivers' hands on the wheel and shifter for even more detail. Multiple camera views are an option - dash, bumper, and two third-person perspectives. ...  Read the complete review

This game is excellent. The chance to realistically drive Porsches very fast. The gameplay in this racing game is superb. For instance, in the evolution mode, you begin racing Porsches from the 1950’s and continue up to the present day monsters speed. The factory driver mode is cool too, you have to do tests to begin and then you are put on the roads to drop cars off at certain points – the whole time being pursued by cops, who are also in Porsches!!! Another cool touch is that you can actually see your gorgeous car getting visibly damaged from impacts. Get this game now! ...  Read the complete review

NFS Series had been famous because they used famous cars like the Dodge Viper, the Ferrari F40, and others, from NFS1, to NFS4 there had been used more than 55 famous cars! The new addicion to this collection is not whorthy of being called an Need For Speed, more a Need for Porshe! As a sequel the game has improved (is a sequel!) the graphical engine and the sound, but removed some of the key features of the series like the porsuit mode (they have been paid by Sony because the PSX version has the Pursuit), and the variety of cars (EA has tried to compensate with 80 Porshe models) (it really seems that they have been paid off by Porshe), and if they wanted to make an ...  Read the complete review
