Need 4 Speed Porsche Unleashed 2000 Pc Game Full Version Free Download
Need
for Speed: Porsche Unleashed strays from several conventions previously
established by the popular arcade-style exotic-car racing series. For
one thing, like its name suggests, Porsche Unleashed features
automobiles exclusively from one manufacturer. What's more, the game has
a more detailed, more realistic driving and physics model than its
predecessors, though the game's realism is scalable. And while Porsche
Unleashed has a few minor shortcomings, it nevertheless stands as the
most ambitious game in the series since the original. As such, it'll
more than likely make you love the Porsche on the off chance you don't
already.
Porsche Unleashed looks good enough to do justice to its prestigious
German sponsor. The game includes many dozens of different Porsche
models from the manufacturer's 50-year product line, and each one bears
the unmistakable curvature of a Porsche. The 3D car models are highly
detailed: The cars all have working turn signals, brake lights, and
headlights, and when you look at them in the garage, you can even check
the engine under the hood, pop the trunk, or view the car's interior.
The cars shine in the sunlight and reflect street lamps at nighttime,
and they can also get noticeably damaged. You can clearly see their
independent suspension at work as they corner, thanks to the game's
realistic four-point physics model, and you can even see their drivers
turning the wheel and shifting gears. You can drive the cars from a 3D
cockpit view, from which you get a great sense of speed, but the cockpit
view's limited visibility and slower frame rate - as well as the
muffled engine noise - make the cutaway first-person view preferable,
though you can also select from two external perspectives. The cars in
Porsche Unleashed don't look totally perfect, as some of the minor
details such as the door handles are part of the texture maps, rather
than part of the polygonal geometry. But such details are only evident
if you spend a lot of time gawking at your cars in the garage, rather
than racing them out on the streets of Europe.
The various courses in Porsche Unleashed look even better than the
cars do. Porsche Unleashed is the first Need for Speed since the
original to feature extended open-road courses in addition to
closed-circuit tracks. The lush natural scenery and subtle lighting
effects give you a good sense of where you're driving, whether high up
in the mountains at morning or down low by the docks at night. Some
tracks offer alternate routes to take, and all of them have plenty of
peripheral detail that you'll only start to notice after you've already
raced along that stretch of road a half-dozen times. Put it all
together, and Porsche Unleashed looks fabulous. The car detail and the
great sense of speed you get from behind the wheel, in addition to the
quaint backwater European courses and even the game's stylish front-end
menus make Porsche Unleashed very classy, much like its namesake. Of
further note, you can easily adjust graphics detail and resolution to
best suit your system, such that you'll find a good compromise of visual
quality and fast performance even on a low-end machine. However, slower
computers with less RAM will experience noticeably long loading times
before races and even between menu screens.
Porsche Unleashed sounds as good as it looks. You'll hear authentic
engine noises and screeching tires throughout each race, along with
realistic Doppler effects as you blast by your competition. You can
actually hear how powerful the engine is in each of the various cars
you'll drive, and you can gauge your RPMs just by listening, rather than
by glancing at the tachometer. Porsche Unleashed has more than a dozen
fast, funky techno music tracks that help set the pace, although the
music might seem anachronistic when you're driving a 1950s-model
Porsche.
You'll get to drive the very first Porsches all the way up through
its fastest contemporary designs in Porsche Unleashed's evolution mode.
The evolution mode begins in 1950 and lets you compete in a series of
tournaments to earn cash. Each tournament takes place some years after
the previous one, so you can use your earnings to buy new Porsche models
as they became available. The evolution mode can be played as a serious
simulation: You can tweak your cars' shocks for ride height, stiffness,
and travel, just as you can adjust downforce, brake balance, and tire
pressure, all to suit the road conditions. Porsche Unleashed is easy to
play with automatic transmission in beginner mode, but expert mode can
be a real challenge, as even the best Porsche is liable to slide out of
control off a sharp corner unless you're ready to brake and downshift
around each bend.But even the expert mode is highly forgiving with
regard to damage modeling; you'll typically be able to recover even
after a head-on collision with some unassuming motorist, though damaging
your car can directly affect its steering and its other driving
characteristics. You'll have the option to pay for repairs in between
races, or you can opt to put your car on the used-car market and hope to
make some money off it. Similarly, you can buy used cars as they become
available between races, and thus save yourself some money that you can
use to purchase lots of different custom parts for the vehicle. The
evolution mode is also a clever means of offsetting the game's learning
curve, as the older-model Porsches are a lot slower than the modern-day
ones. The only problem with the game mode's design is that it'll take
you awhile to work your way up to the Porsche models you're used to
seeing on the streets, which can get frustrating if you want to cut to
the chase right away in the latest 911 Turbo.
If you just want to get behind the wheel of the fastest car Porsche
has ever made, then you'll prefer the innovative factory-driver mode, in
which you assume the role of a test-driver for the manufacturer. You'll
get assignments from various Porsche personalities, including an
executive, the chief tester, and even a rival test-driver, and you'll
need to complete each of these to advance to the next. There are around
three-dozen missions in all, and they range from standard test-driver
challenges that test your cornering and acceleration, to more unusual
scenarios in which you need to deliver your vehicle for shipment quickly
and without damaging it, to rally races, and more. Porsche Unleashed
has no hot-pursuit mode like its predecessor, but you'll sometimes
encounter Porsche cop cars in the factory-driver mode, who'll try to run
you off the road one way or another. Some of the missions are very
challenging, but they're short enough and diverse enough that you'll
want to persevere through them all, if only to see what sort of exotic
car you'll get to commandeer for the next one. Fortunately, no matter
what car you're in, the game controls responsively regardless of what
peripheral you're using. There's even an option to set your joystick
dead-zone to help make your steering more precise.
In addition to the other modes, Porsche Unleashed lets you run a
quick race against up to seven opponents, and it also includes a
knockout mode that's an endurance match in which the last car around the
track is eliminated each lap, until one car wins. The quick-race mode
lets you choose from the cars that you've made available in the
evolution mode in addition to a few select stock models, which means
that you'll need to spend a lot of time racing through the ages before
you'll have a wide selection of cars. Porsche Unleashed also includes a
history of Porsche that has photographs and even some video
advertisements of many of its famous cars. As of this writing, the
game's online multiplayer racing mode is still in an open beta-test
phase, though Electronic Arts is already starting to provide additional
cars for download.
Porsche Unleashed is a beautiful, comprehensive, and highly enjoyable
racing sim that's suitable for just about any driving enthusiast. It
makes no false claims about the limits of its extensive features, so
although it'll give you a chance to experience what it's like to drive
all the different types of Porsches from over the years, it won't let
you race those cars against their competition from other
exotic-automobile manufacturers. Nevertheless, once you get behind the
wheel of one of the high-performance machines featured in Porsche
Unleashed, chances are you'll feel no need to drive anything else for a
long time.
