Publisher's description
From Electronic Arts :Now, you can get the feel of driving a brand-new Porsche--or even a vintage model from the early days--in Electronic Arts' new Need For Speed: Porsche Unleashed. Featuring the original 356 from the 1940s to the latest innovation, the 2000 911 Porsche Turbo, Need For Speed lets you take one of these masterpieces of German engineering out for a little Sunday test-drive. And you don't even have to have the car back at the dealership before sundown.

Version: Need for Speed: Porsche Unleashed 1.0
Pros: As Bgraef says, this game is excellent but underrated. One of the reasons for it, is that a lot of need for speed fans compared the game with the others from the series. Therefore, due to its more realistic characteristics of Porsche unleashed, their reactions were mainly negative. At first I wasn't a fan of this game either, but the more I played it, the more I loved it. I've learned to appreciate the realistic performance of the cars.
How the game works is already told above, so I can only confirm the positive things. Nice graphics, but even nicer sound, beautiful routes, the car-tweak feature is great and gives this game a great advantage comparde with other racing-games, the cars drive nice...
Well, all of these factors combined make this a great game. Now it's waiting for people like me who give it the credit it deserves.
Cons: Unfortunately, playing on the internet is difficult, bacause the ea server doesn't exist anymore. They also stopped with supporting the game (it would be nice when we could download the latest Porsches, like the GT3 RS, the Carrera GT, maybe the Cayenne).

Version: Need for Speed: Porsche Unleashed 1.0
Pros: Porsche Need for Speed will go down in gaming annals as a classic. I believe its lack of popularity when it was first introduced was because most people didnt have the computing power to run it, so this absolute gem of a game simply faded away from the public interest. Now that even cheap computers with a decent grapics card can run this game with ease, EA should improve it and reintroduce it to the public. It is a shame that EA gems like the Superbike series and Porsche Unleashed are out of the spotlight. You can still find them languishing in discount bins for under $10, a bargain considering some of the nauseous crap you end up paying over 50 bucks for.

"This game is an "must" for all driving game addicts"
Pros: I love the the Need for Speed series, an have purchased all of them my self. The graphics and enviroment sounds are stunnishing, and the layoyt in menus is easy to follow. The showcases for each car impresses as well. Top of the art.
