Need For Speed in Real Life Part II

By Mitchell TulkMitchell Tulk

The Need For Speed in Real Life video created by Chekunov V a few months back, was an epic throwback for anyone who grew up in the mid-2000s.

It perfectly captured the essence of older NFS games, but only lasted for a minute, and left everyone champing at the bit for more.

Now there’s a follow up, which includes more cars and more races.

Picking up were the first video left off, the player upgrades from their Toyota Celica to an A80 Supra before competing in events inspired by those featured in the Underground games and the 2005 Most Wanted.

We get to see a wider variety of cars too, including a Mitsubishi Lancer Evo, Nissan Skyline GT-R R34, Subaru Impreza WRX STi, Pontiac GTO (better known to us as the Holden Monaro), Honda S2000 and Mazda RX-7.

It also includes a handful of iconic songs that have been used in previous NFS games such as Snoop Dogg’s Riders On The Strom.

Part three is teased with the ‘player’ being challenged to shift from night to daylight racing.
