Falling Short From The Cops [Posted on 2003-03-05]
Sometimes when a sequel is made for a video game, it can often be a mistake for them to follow the success that the original version has hatched within the gamers. With Need For Speed, it often made itself into a huge dynamic franchise within the video game industry. But sometimes, it never seems to go within that trial. It just makes you want to go all the way back to the previous video game because you're so use to it.

The Need For Speed sequel: High Stakes, consists of several hip cars you can definitely race across seven tracks to start with, and several fast speed automobiles, including the Chevrolet Camaro, and the legendary corvette. Otherwise, the game falls a little bit short within the tracks. Although the seven opening tracks are nice, the other hidden tracks were from the previous Need For Speed 3: Hot Pursuit, making it seem to familiar to grounds that were already made a little while ago.

Although this game falls a little bit short from the sequel, it is a nice welcome to new computer gamers. But, if you've played the previous games, I suggest you pass this one up, and get the Need For Speed 3: Hot Pursuit, or the newer Hot Pursuit 2.

High Stakes- High Rating [Posted on 2003-03-06]
Auto racing and driving games are tops on my list for the PC. I've already bought several of them and I've only owned a PC for a year and a half. I recently bought NEED FOR SPEED HIGH STAKES and I consider it my favorite in a dead heat with DRIVER! They are both great as far as the demos are concerned and even though the detail and graphics could be a little better, it still turns me on. I am still a novice but the SNOWY RIDGE course is my favorite even though it's fairly challenging. My top speed is over 90 and that's really great for me(a beginner). I got used to this one rather quickly and I love the good variety of courses and cars. The Corvette is my personal preference. My joystick works pretty well with HIGH STAKES and it is not a really sophisticated one. Great job on this game EA!!!

This game rocks. It is very realistic and fun. It is cool because you can upgrade that sleek new Mclaren that just won you about $1,000,000 in the realistic Career play mode. But it can be frustrating because it is easy too crash. Even if you hate driving games you will love this one
