I'm proud to say I worked on this game. 8 months of 70 hour work weeks that nearly cost me my sanity. Edit: I honestly can't believe all the positive responses and thank yous. I figured I'd give a few more details for those interested. I hope not to disillusion anyone, but I was just a QA Lead for the gameplay section. I was mostly in charge of the enemy AI as well as the difficulty. To this day, it was the funnest game I worked on while at EA/Blackbox, even if it was incredibly intense. We had a QA/Dev team of over 100, and at the time, everyone was super passionate to be working on the newest NFS game and on the latest console generation. Coming to work with so many like minded people truly felt like working with family in the best way possible. Thank you to all those who say this game has had such a positive effect on their childhood and for anyone who remembered it fondly from any memory.

Hey. About what Mia said when you first race Razor. "Wait until he shifts first." , means, because of how difficult it is to launch a powerful Rear Wheel Drive car. If you haven't practiced & memorized the amount of throttle, RPMs, and the top-speed of 1st-gear. Then you're just going to be doing a rolling burnout, wasting time, energy, and tires. And even if you are perfect at launching, and mastering the grip of your rear tires, to accelerate as quick as possible with little to no slip. If you are launching from a startline with a rival car just as strong as yours. Unless you have an ignition or sparkcut quickshifter system, like a high-end sportbike, for open throttle up-shifts without disengaging the clutch. Then shifting gears with the clutch, will cause a major delay in your acceleration. Even more so if you have H-pattern instead of a sequential shifter, and don't have a short-throw shifter linkage on top of that. This is how some Elecric Vehicles like performance Teslas & Rimacs are so unbeatable launching from a dig (dead stop). They don't need a multi-speed transmission. Electric motors, with their instant torque, can seamlessly accelerate from a dig, all the way up to when the back EMF inside them, starts limiting their torque, rate of acceleration and top speed. But engines can't do that. They have a minimum speed, below which their power really bogs down, or the engine just stalls. This is why engines need multiple gear ratios to get the most out of them, with their limited useful RPM range. Electric motors accelerate smoothly, but engines that don't use a fragile CVT, accelerate in steps, because of shifting between strong gears, that each exchange torque for more RPMs, so you can go faster, with the same limited engine speed. ....And if someone, just as strong as you, was to launch with you, but bounce off the rev-limiter a second or 2, waiting for you to shift. Then the acceleration delay of you shifting from 1st to 2nd, could be enough for them to get ahead of you a decent amount. Maybe enough to even get ahead of and block you, while you're struggling with the traction issues of launching out of 1st gear. All this is what Mia meant, when she tells you, as the player, to wait for Razor to shift first. She's giving you a tip, that may help you get ahead of him, immediately.

@observingrogue7652

Oh! I have my own tip. I learned this by myself. When ramming a roadblock, tap your brakes just before impact, to transfer weight forward on the suspension. This will help keep your noise down after the hit, so it dosen't pop you into the air, and make you vulnerable. And just like with real life, when ramming through carjackers (or cops). Aim for the side of the tail, to make it easier to punch through. Because the engine weight upfront, will make the nose harder to move. This is true with Heat Levels 1 to 3, and I think SUVs. But Corvettes are 50:50 weight distribution, so in game, you can hit any part of their side. Hiting their door area, will flip them over you. Hitting their ends will spin them so much, they may hit your side. And something really messed up. ...If you catch a traffic car stopped at a roadblock. Ramming the civilian into the roadblock, somehow amplifies the devistation on the roadblock. And as always, avoid hitting any road block cop car who's side is not presented to you. Choppers too. For some reason, they're very unmovable in that orientation.

I always tought it was because Razor is driving a Mustang which is notorious for losing control during a launch (see every car show exit ever), so waiting for him to shift first when he's "rolling a lot of power" is because Mia tought Razor would lose control of the car imediatelly and could slam into the player's car, so if the player waited he could just watch Razor wreck by himself.

@C6Z_Bob

Ай бұрын

What? Did you just make all that up? I definitely don't wait for someone else to shift first when I'm drag racing. I shift as soon as I hit the optimal RPM to shift at to maximize average horsepower. It also doesn't take long to shift a regular H-pattern transmission, I can shift mine in about 250 ms, that's not a number I made up, I used HP Tuners to time myself.

[14:30] This is actually a really compelling point I haven't really thought about before. A lot of modern _Need for Speed_ games have often been trying to recontexualize the relationship between street racers and the police, either by having some form of corruption in the police force (like in _Payback_ and _Heat,_ for example) or showing how racers and cops going to further and further lengths to antagonize each other could be dangerous (like in _Rivals_ or the _Hot Pursuit_ reboot). While I personally don't mind them trying to explore these ideas to tell different kinds of stories, it feels like it's been quite a while since we had a cop-focused NFS game where we're _indisputably_ the bad guy. I can't help but wonder why that is, a change in direction perhaps?

Yeah I've never understood the latest NFS plotlines antagonizing the police force. Like we're literally running into people and trashing the streets, but some of the games make it look like the state are strictly the bad guys. Either take an antagonistic MC approach like Most Wanted and Carbon or a two-sided coin approach like Rivals. Unbound tries way too hard to make the MC look heroic and relatable, but it comes off as shallow and makes no sense. Or just have no plot at all.

Having had street racers go around for many nights around midnight and early into the morning for multiple months now, I can't see how they're the ""good guys"" in any way. They deserve the law in full force.

Dude, you nailed every point. This game shaped me musically, I remember having my mom spell out "Decadence" for me while I pulled up KZread to try and listen to this at 5 years old. I've got thousands, upon thousands of hours in this game as it helped me escape from my poor and hallow home life. This game will always be in my heart, and I try to beat it once every few years for nostalgia.

I've completed this game several times without being caught and the secret for me was, taking all my pursuits to the freeways. There are two major freeways in the game, so normally I'd just go round and round until I hit my milestones that's when I'd enter back to the cities, to kill pursuits since there are more pursuit breakers in them. The final point of the game is actually easy to find, it's on the Rosewood Freeway near the stadium 😂, just get yourself to that highway and you're good. I've put many hours into this game so I know it inside out. Nice Review, laughed my ass out the entire time

Never seen your channel before, but this review made me sub as it hit the nail on the head so damn hard. I was 12 when this game came out and I still view it as one of the best gaming experiences I have had to date. I remember the anticipation of going into the store with my mother and father to pick up my black edition copy on launch day, and not being let down a single bit, something game developers and publishers alike have failed to do for nearly the past 2 decades now with a few small exceptions such as the Uncharted series and Far Cry 4 and 5.

This game and Burnout Revenge were the perfect examples of that mid-2000s emo craze being carried into gaming. They were loud, angry, and still so much fun. Blackbox and Criterion made two very special masterpieces.

Backup is going to be on their way soon and I knew I wasn't going to survive another round with them. I go into a tunnel on the highway and overhear the chopper say "He went through the tunnel, I'll meet him on the other side" which triggers the lightbulb in my head to do a U-turn inside of it. Lo and behold the chopper actually did go to the other side which allowed me to successfully get away. It's simple in retrospect but in the heat of the moment I felt amazing.

You've only beat it 3 times? I've only ever had this game for 6 months before I lost my pc and I beat it uncountable times (i even beat razor with a maxed out punto 🤣🤣) or I used black list 2's own car

I don't think I've ever had the same level of heart-pounding suspense as watching the cooldown timer after a long ass police chase hiding on a baseball field and hoping the cop on the road next to the arena can't see me

You're editing it really funny bro kerp it up!! I love the end bit in the yellow lambo hahahaha

Your editing had me laughing through the entire video but it was also ver informative; I had not noticed the cops would even call the street names!

Something to note about the police radio- sometimes they'll _realize_ you have a scanner and "correct" what side the spike strip is on to try and trick you. I've also heard them stumble over their words and mix up a couple locations.

Honestly this is what is missing with police pursuit. I miss when cops sound professional not always making jokes and insults. I mean job is stressful and i get jokes meant to destress but it gets boring hearing the same oh this moron is flying or hey the idiot crash for thousand time. I want something like being told when next roadblock is coming and no jokes about tyres being pop with spikes and them attempting to pit or ram or box in. I don't understand why they cant borrow the system from this game ideas and use proper terminology and professionalism.

this game will never die. no matter how much time passes ill always find time to give it a playthrough with different mods or even vanilla. such a good game

25:56 finally someone brought up from what the old bridge jump was inspired by

Well made video bro. Didnt even mean to watch the whole thing, but you kept me hooked

3:54 This is a small detail but a very notable one, Manley gently highlights the names of the people that have donated to his patreon on the backboard by making it not blurry for a few seconds. He didn’t need to do this whatsoever, I’m sure a lot of people would or have glossed over this. But it really shows how much he appreciates his audience.

Another great highly informative and interesting/entertaining video. Keep up the great work, its highly appreciated. Thank you Manley Reviews, for the deep dive review.

Superb editing brother!

NFS Most wanted and Hot pursuit were my favorite NFS games. I sunk hours - days into both.

This might be the most entertaining review I have ever seen lol - subbed

this was such a great vid, man. I obviously played the thing back in the day and i'm actualy thinking about playing it al over along with carbon. Back in the day I didn't even know it was a thing and when i got my 360 the one game i got was carbon because of the evo on the cover. Obviously I did come across most wanted as I do remember the bmw on the shelves but yeah, That's how I got into nfs altogether. But whn I played most wanted for the first time. That was fun times tbh abd your vid made me excited to try it out again.🙌

Carbon was kinda like this. It was actually a direct sequel. You even team up with Cross (who became a bounty hunter, which makes way more sense) at the end of the game. Not to mention I remember it being properly hard. The only issue was it got rid of the amazing cop chases. But it replaced them with some seriously good canyon races.
