From extremely Illegal Street racing to legitimate track-driving, Need for Speed has had quite the history, spreading over 20 years. I’ve got the need, the need for speed! When it comes to iconic franchises, Need for Speed is one of the all time classics. There aren’t too many series that have rebooted themselves over three times and still managed to retain a loyal fan base quite like Electronic Arts’ racing simulator. Need for Speed has evolved like no other game, chopping and changing styles to suit current and popular trends.
