When it first came out, NFS III Hot Pursuit was the greatest! The cars in that game as well as the ability to be the cops provided hours of high school dorm entertainment for me, esp. with the multiplayer option.
The other NFS I played a little later was 4 - High Stakes, which was okay with the addition of career money and buying cars options, but very similar to Hot Pursuit's gameplay.
I wasn't a big fan of Porsche Unleashed since I didn't like Porsches all that much then and the controls and car damage were towards the realistic side.
NFS Underground 1 & 2 brought about some new and really nice gameplay additions (drag/drift modes if I'm not mistaken) and the option to customize your rides. Again, Underground I was the one 'breaking new ground' here.
My favorite of the whole series so far is the one that came next - Most Wanted! Although I disagree with the opinion that it has better graphics than Carbon (Carbon's night visuals are quite amazing esp. with particle effect and motion blur), the gameplay has great balance between regular races and pursuits. This is what I feel Carbon lacks in - there aren't enough good pursuits in the career mode. Although a couple of them in the Challenge Series are really fun.
I have yet to try out Prostreet. Hope I didn't bore you all with my rambling...but it is the topic of one of my favorite games' series of all time!
Keep revvin!
