the new one is taking notes from it, which I think is quite awesome
anyways, of the ones I recently played:
MW (2005) > Underground > Underground 2 > Hot Pursuit (2010)
Most wanted's cop chases are fun yet challenging, the racing is still good, and the open world has a great flow to it yet a bit complex so shortcuts aren't always a win. The plot is full of cheese and ham, only enhanced by the very serious cops.
Underground has great track flow, plenty of corny dialogue pre-race and after sometimes, and said "Yeah, I'm the fast and the furious, so what." Being able to make your car look like a trainwreck has never been easier or more fun.
Underground 2 has a map traced from a world head's pasta dinner falling on the ground, the SUV racing is amusing at best and completely annoying at worst, and there's like 300 events that use the same races. UGL is interesting, although some of the end game races with it are bad, street x is just UG1 drift maps recycled, and half of the map is real life advertisements.
Hot Pursuit (2010) is worse OutRun2 with car stats
The game that got me into PC gaming. Still have my disc inside my current PC so I can play it from time to time.None of those.
PC VERSION.
Need for Speed 3: Hot Pursuit. PC ver.
Good, old people, right here.

None of those OP.
Porsche Unleashed.
Bloody children.
Porsche Unleashed.
Bloody children.
Also acceptable.
I actually quite enjoyed the remake that was on PS3/360.None of those.
PC VERSION.
As above, NFS III: Hot Pursuit, PC Version, mixed with some good mods from NFSCars.
There's something unique about this game I miss. When I see the autumn leaves of Hometown or the magnificent futuristic race of Atlantica, I... I don't know. Yeah I think NFS Hot Pursuit 2010 was maybe the last one giving me this authentic NFS vibe, but I can't really say that for sure because I didn't really play the others. I honestly don't understand why EA need to stick with these cheesy scenarios. Enough of american block-busteresque humans behavior. Give us Cars, Ambiance, fresh UI Aesthetic (NFS HP 2010 was great on this point), memorable Races...
So, yes, NFS Hot Pursuit 2010 was good, but in terms of gameplay and handling, it felt more like Burnout Paradise had a children with Outrun.
Oh, and Porsche Unleashed was unique. One of the bests NFS too. High Skates wasn't bad either. And I need to play Hot Pursuit 2. The PS2 version seems to have a particular cars handling.

It's a very close call between underground and Most Wanted for me but I picked MW, that game was incredible.
Oh, LOL. All these names got me mixed up. Of course I meant Hot Pursuit 2.
The Underground 2 logo fucks with my eyes every time. It's so bad.
I remember selling so many copies of the Underground series in my retail days but my heart will always be with the launch 360 Hot Pursuit

Voted Most Wanted 2005 because it was just legendary to me. Amazing and I have a lot of memories :)
It's Underground 2 or Carbon imo. Most Wanted 2005 is outstanding and would easily take the top spot, but the mandatory police challenges got fucking ludicrously hard and annoying in the late game. I think Carbon is the most underrated and might be the best overall.
My most played NFS game was Underground 2. It felt really great at the time, and cool soundtrack. But I'd still say Most Wanted was the better game.
Underground 2 is the only true answer.
Most Wanted would have had a chance if it wasn't for the piss/sepia filter and only daytime gameplay.

Criterion's NFS Hot Pursuit. I still play it regularly to this day. Not only the best NFS, but the best racing game in general imo.
Most Wanted is almost the perfect NFS - nerve wracking police chases, on point soundtrack, customisation and a story that is flawless in tone. I'd have preferred more run of the mill cars which is why I put Underground 2 very close to MW, but otherwise there is a strong reason after all these years they still keep trying to recreate the magic of MW05. Sadly I think Black Box were the only team that could ever have done that, and they were ran into the ground by EA.
NFSU2
NFS MW 2005
NFS HP 2010
NFS MW 2012, lol at anyone having missed this great game

Fix your OP cuz it's unreadable bruh and give us more poll options
Out of those presented, it was NFSU2. Best game, even bought a controller for my PC back then, just to comfortably play the demo.
This right here. I played the mess out of itNone of those.
PC VERSION.
Out of the choices in the poll, Hot Pursuit 2 would be the one for me.
NFSIV High Stakes and Porsche Unleashed.
Out of those in OP, it's HP2. I'm not a fan of open-world in racing games, so NFSU2 and MW2005 never grabbed my attention. Actually, I think I completed the mission mode in MW2005 but barely touched the campaign.

My favorites! I think I prefer high stakes, but it is a tough call.
None of those.
PC VERSION.
I was young at the time, so I got into the series when Porsche Unleashed came out and I played the rest as it was coming out, until HP 2 which was my favourite at the time. Then I remember seeing this game at the store and I thought it was HP 3 and almost bought it, lol.
