To supplement your income, you can buy yourself (in Porsche terms) a banger and go racing at weekends, Gran TUrismo-style. Scratch the paintwork however, and it's back to mine-clearing duty among the ruins of Berlin. Do well and a promotion to drive ever more valuable and powerful cars to their prospective buyers is yours. You'll notice, as with the last NFS game, Road Challenge, that sequential numbers have ceased to be an issue in the series, which is a shame because apart from just modelling cars from the one manufacturer, this time around there are a number of new features that make it worthy of slapping a big red '5' on the box when the game arrives late next month.Īpart from the usual race modes and a range of cars (from the '48 Roadster to the latest 966 Turbo model) in various shades, Porsche 2000 is taking the venerable Speed series into the land of role-playing.Ĭhoosing the Career Mode, you start the game as a Porsche test driver in 1948 and as well as driving new models around a test track, you have to deliver cars from the plant to their new owners.

The idea of the evolution mode is that you start out with a 1950 Porsche and work your way up until 2020 which I thought was really cool. This alone to me makes Need For Speed Porsche Unleashed a noteworthy game in the series.Īs well as this you have a regular racing career mode as well and a cool evolution mode. While it is basic by today's standards, this was the first time in the franchise that they had attempted a story mode in their games. The first one I want to talk about though has you trying to become a Porsche factory driver. ![]() One of the most impressive aspects of the game is just how many game modes there are. ![]()
