Need for Speed: High Stakes 1999

Is it still worth playing?

Exotic cars race on tracks set in North America and Europe in this 1999 racing game for the PlayStation and Windows. You play alone against computer opponents or against a friend in split screen. It was called Road Challenge in Europe. Cars range from the BMW Z3 and Chevrolet Camaro to the Ferrari F50 and McLaren F1. A damage system lets cars take damage when colliding with objects, which affects their appearance and performance, and economy-based tournaments pay a cash prize that can be spent on repairs. Each track has variants, such as direction and a mirror mode, and races can be at night or in weather. Modes include Single Race, Hot Pursuit, Tournament, Knockout and High Stakes. Repairing a car with prize money gives every crash a cost, which still matters.
