Quoted from Need for Speed: High Stakes Reviews:
Check out these quotes from Need for Speed: High Stakes reviews & previews
"Need for Speed: High Stakes has great graphics and terrific replay value in the form of Hot Pursuit mode versus the computer, or a friend." "
"The designers didn’t spend the time to make the physics realistic and that’s the end of it. "
"Let us first take a gander at the eye candy this game has to offer. Whether it is night or day, rain, snow or shine, this game is drop dead gorgeous. From the beautiful cars which gleam in the sun to the environment that you whiz by as the pedal is to the floor, the graphics look picture perfect. Lightning streaks across the sky as the sky lights up and then darkens again. Leaves blow through the forest and smoke rolls lazily out of chimneys. Dirt and water sprays are left behind by cars making it difficult for those following close behind to see. Sparks fly off the guard rail as cars scrape up against the metal or off the road as a dead suspension leave chassis dragging on the blacktop."
"It’s hard not to fall completely in love with this game. For years the Need for Speed games have dominated the arcade racing market, and with every new version more realism, more thrilling gameplay options and prettier graphics have accompanied each one. This one is no different. Need for Speed: High Stakes represents the finest version of Need for Speed yet, even if it does feature looping courses."
