Need for Speed: Porsche Unleashed

The first, and to date, only, Need for Speed game to feature the vehicles of one manufacturer -- and we picked a good one --Porsche Unleashed featured models from the German performance automaker from 1950 to 2000. This game brought a true simulation driving engine to the series that hadn’t been seen to that point in a racing title.

From the original Porsche 356 to the 911 GT3, the cars drove and handled closer to their real-life counterparts in Porsche Unleashed than any of its predecessors. Even the car James Dean once owned (the 550 Spyder) was in the game.

The Evolution mode, which allowed racers to buy and unlock Porsche cars from 1950 on in chronological order, was also a genre first and brought many new fans to both Porsche and the Need for Speed franchise. Police chases -- which were popular early in the series -- remained, but were only available in the Factory Driver mode.
