Need For Speed Should Become A Fast & Furious Game

Richard wants The Need for Furious.

- Richard Shivdarsan

If you were to ask 11-year-old me what the coolest things in the world were my answers would have probably been the Need for Speed games and The Fast & The Furious movies, but unfortunately, only the latter would be true today.

While the Fast & Furious (F&F) series has been on an upward journey of becoming blockbuster hits one after another, the Need for Speed (NFS) franchise has seen the opposite. Ever since NFS: Carbon back in 2006, personally, I think we have seen a downward spiral for the franchise, especially in the street racing entries. There have been some decent games in franchise since developers Criterion Games took the wheel, but nothing that lives up to earlier games like NFS: Underground 1 & 2 or the original NFS: Most Wanted. Since Criterion Games also created the Burnout series, their NFS games started to feel like just that, plus the customization I loved in the previous entries was basically missing entirely.
