If there was ever a game that exemplifies the classic car racing game, it has to be the iconic Need for Speed.
In many ways, the Need for Speed series has defined the genre and an entire era of gaming. If you could only play one racing game for the rest of your life, Need for Speed would be millions of people's first answer.
But you don't need to think Xbox or PlayStation. The game has been ported to mobile so that you can enjoy it everywhere.
Your mission is to prove you have what it takes to rule the streets. And have horsepowers of fun, thrills, and pile-ups along the way to the top of the underground racing scene.
● Customize your cars
● Build your dream garage with cars from the likes of Bugatti, McLaren, Pagani, Lamborghini. Koenigsegg, and more
● Multiple race modes
● More than a thousand challenging races to contest
Throw away your rearview mirror as you compete in a nerve-shredding campaign to dominate the underground racing scene. Tweak, mod, and fine-tune a range of cars to make the opposition eat your dust on the way to be crowned the king or queen of underground racing.
As you earn your stripes, you can trade up for better and faster cars to compete in and customize.
And it's not just generic fantasy autos you get to drive. The Need for Speed garage is packed full of hypercars to get your hands in and trick out with more than 2.5 million custom combinations.
If you have encountered Need for Speed before - and there's a good chance you have - then it will seem comfortably familiar on your phone or tablet.
Navigate around the mean streets of Blackridge, dodge obstacles and traffic, get airborne over jumps, and fire your nitrous for adrenaline-infused driving and hardcore drifting. There are race challenges around every corner. And cops to evade as you strive to increase your street cred and take on all-comers to cross the finish line first by whatever means necessary.
● It's free

● Customize your cars to improve performance
● In-game ads
● Requires a stable internet connection as there is no offline play option
