Game Description
Ever dreamed of driving an incredible sports car? Well, you'll get your chance in Need for Speed II. Choose from one of eight different sports cars. Study the histories and stats of the McLaren F1, Ferrari F50, Ford GT90, Jaguar XJ220, Lotus GT1, Lotus Esprit V8, Italdesign Cala, and Isdera Commendatore 112i, all at your disposal as you hit the road on one of six international courses. If choosing your car is not enough, you can even customize the colors, gear ratios, spoiler settings, and more. There are three difficulty levels for you to choose from, and you can even take on a friend in a split-screen competition. Leave other cars in your dust as you feel the Need for Speed a second time.~ Christopher Michael Baker, All Game Guide
