The performance customisation was also great too, as this was again the best the series had seen. The vinyls you could select and apply were extremely varied and added a new layer (literally) to what had come before. One of which was its customisation, as its livery editor was top-notch. While Carbon wasn’t as good as Most Wanted nor the Underground games, it did have some redeeming qualities. #2 – Carbon THE DARK NIGHT RETURNS: A return to night racing signalled an improvement in customisation options It wouldn’t stay that way for long, though… We’d go as far as to say that these were the best customisation options in a racing game ever to that point. In hindsight, it may look a little basic, but it more than got the job done.īody kits, performance upgrades, skirts, wheels, tinted windows and of course, those famous neon underglow lights were all available to utilise in Underground. This was the first game that had the level of customisation that we’ve come to expect from an NFS title. So much so, that we think it’s about time that EA gives this title a remaster. The first Underground game is an absolute classic. #3 – Underground THE ONE THAT STARTED IT ALL: NFS customisation really took off in Underground We definitely want to see more of this when NFS 2022 launches. The new mechanic where you hover the cursor over a part of the car to select it is so intuitive and really helps new players. You can change the colours of your flames, sport neon underglow lights and choose your exhaust noise.Īrguably the best thing about the customisation though is that it’s so easy to do. You can take it a step further than most NFS titles as well, both cosmetically and performance-wise. In a polar opposite to Most Wanted, Heat is an average Need for Speed game that has great customisation.

#4 – Heat BEST PART OF THE GAME: Heat’s customisation options saved the game
