Need for Speed Underground 2 still has not been topped. The physics felt the best in the series, because slides still felt controllable by using throttle and the wheel. Nowadays slides feel like a mobile drift game that forces gyro controls.

Carbon was the last NFS game I enjoyed, but it didn't match NFSU2, not even close.

The Run was the last NFS game I played that I liked, but it was quite different from any other NFS game. Fine as a one time spinoff but not how I want the next 10 NFS games to feel like.

I tried NFS Unbound and didnt make it more than 2 hours into the game because the game was too interested in preaching at me or talking at me than it was letting me race. Also, the driving model felt really bad, just like the other Criterion NFS games.

Crazy to me that almost universally everyone says NFSU2s driving model was the best and the developers can completely ignore that and instead make something new that nobody likes.
