Need for Speed II Special Edition

Need for Speed II Special Edition Free Download for PC Need For Speed games are always very graphically attractive and very well playable. In 1997, EA released an enhanced version of NFS2 called Need for Speed 2: Special Edition.

Overview of Need for Speed II Special Edition

Made by EA, Electronics Arts, in 1997, this was an upgrade to the original Need for Speed and the second in the NFS franchise that’s still in existence today.

Need for Speed II Story

Originally made for a Pentium 90 MHz, 20 Mb (yes megabyte, not gigabyte!) and good old Windows 95, this was a great upgrade to the original, now with 3Dfx. Better graphics and better racing.

It’s really fast and adds four cars to the original eight and one extra track to the original seven. Yeah, I know today’s games have multiple tracks and an incredible amount of cars, I’ve played Forza and Grand Turismo and numerous other racing games, but remember it was 1997. Space was expensive.

Nowadays, you can get 8 GB for five bucks, but back then, a gigabyte was upwards of $180! I still love the way it controls. I’ve always liked NFS for its control, and NFS II SE is no different.

Graphics

The graphics are great and better than the original NFS II; they improved the software graphics for NFS II SE and added the 3Dfx for the 3Dfx Voodoo cards to further improve graphics.

Edges are more rounded with 3Dfx, cleaner than the “jaggies” you used to see in some games without the graphics upgrade. “Jaggies” were the saw blade edges you’d see on games with lower graphics, think PS1. The sound is OK, not fantastic, but OK. Not something I worry about in NFS too much.

Overall, I love the NFS series, and I think that NFS II SE is a great addition to the series. Hope that you enjoy it and can collect the entire series.
