Has everything I've ever wanted from a sports car racing game: Cool rides, some of the best engine noises ever committed to a gaming sountrack and most importantly, a sense of incredible speed and power. [Nov 2002, p.186]
The soundtrack is exceptional, offering rock and techno play-lists, and a fully customizable jukebox feature letting you filter any tunes or even whole genres however you like.

The best arcade racer to hit the PS2. With it's combination of really fun gameplay, good delivery, terrific tracks and robust modes, this is definitely worthy of gracing the collection of any console racing fan.
Not only one of the best games in this long-running series, but also one of the fastest, most visceral, and most polished racing games currently available for Sony's console.
Driving through such locations would be a joy in itself if only you felt some sense of response from the cars. As it is, the sensation of driving goes largely unchanged with terrain.
This game is the epitome of classic Need for Speed games! Fancy cars: check. Exotic tracks: check. Extreme speed: check. Pissy cops: check. All that you need in a simple and straight forward package with a brilliant soundtrack. Pity the game came out the box at a 480i resolution. 720p or even 480p would've done it nicely.
Decent racing game and awesome that they have a Rush song in it!
I would say it's not one of the better games in it's genre for PS2 but you'll get some satisfying hours in playing it
The game builds on the first one and while it didn't feel as fresh it was still a nice ride and any fan of the racing genre that is looking for a fun arcade racer should pick this up.
SummaryBecome the "Champion Road Racer" by conquering numerous racing events, all carrying rewards such as: cars, tracks and high performance upgrades.
