==Gameplay==

Need for Speed II can be played in either Single player or Multiplayer mode. The following race types can be played:

* Knockout - Knockout races are available once the player has completed a tournament. In this mode the player that is in last position after every lap will be eliminated. This goes on until there is only one player left.

* Single Race - Normal circuit races with a set number of laps.

* Tournament - A series of races that involves every track in the game, in which players with the most points wins the tournament. The better your position, the more points you earn.

Each of these race types can be customized. This includes physics (Arcade, Simulation, or Wild (Special Edition only)), catch-up mode, driving direction, opponents (Class, skill level, and how many (up to 7)), and a mirrored option of the the selected tracks. One thing that is unique about this game is the music, which is directly adapted to the gaming situation.
