Customisation of cars is pretty nice actually. Lots of stats upgrades like suspension (but I'm pretty sure they do have slight visual changes). Bodykits, and works convert. Works convert pretty much turns the car into a beast. In terms of paint ect there are racing liveries or you can make a custom paint job.
Only pain is customisation only becomes fun at the end of the game when you unlock all the cool paints.
Thanks a lot, I knew I missed one of the Need For Speeds that was actually still within the same 'era' as Underground 2---Most Wanted----Undercover---etc
Shift is good, even for modern NFS standards. Shift 2 is better. It's "professional" racing, so tracks no cities, but still, the feeling is great, especially from cockpit view.

Oh.
Lame.
No cop chases either...
Bah. I should just start a new campaign on Most Wanted, the best NFS since Underground 2...
' Wrote:Loved Underground 2, the more customization the better.
Loved Most Wanted, great graphics, cops, perfect. Best NFS so far I've played.
Loved Carbon, like a lesser version of Most Wanted, still good.
Hated Hot Persuit, no customization. Lameness.
Any suggestions of new Need For Speed's I havent tried yet that offer good customization. Preferably not online-only either...
Need For Speed: Porsche 2000.....
IF you can find a copy.
Not much in the way of customization, this game is pre-underground.
That also means graphics are less than wonderful, compared to graphics today that is.
However, if it's a Porsche (pre-2000 model), it's likely to be in the game.
You can tweak all kinds of settings, but they don't go overboard with them and they do make a difference to handling.
When it came out, it was pretty much 'state of the art' and I still play it from time to time.
Edit: The real dutch mentions Need For Speed Online.
Yup, it's free alright and you can become competitive without spending 'real world' money on the game, but that means you won't have access to some of the more awesome cars.
I haven't played it for some time, but it wasn't bad last time I was on.
It has chases, races, free roam, lots of customizable parts, not to mention 'decals', a huge variety of paint and an super huge driving area.
That's what it had last time I played it, god knows what it has now!
I feel like you'd like Midtown Madness 1 and 2, but those games are from 2000. However, they have that open world setting that you want I think.
Also, NFS Hot Pursuit is more for those who liked the older NFS games, which is probably why you hate it since you appear to like the newer ones.
