'''Need for Speed II''', released in Japan as '''Over Drivin' II''', is the second game in the [[:Category:Need for Speed|Need for Speed series]] and follows [[The Need for Speed]]. It significantly changes from the emphasis of realism in ''The Need for Speed'' to arcade-like gameplay, though it also introduces car tuning. As does its predecessor, ''Need for Speed II'' features several exotic cars, and includes tracks set in various parts of world. The game also opted to remove police pursuits introduced in the ''The Need for Speed''. There is also a Special Edition for Windows and a Greatest Hits version for the PlayStation. | '''Need for Speed II''', released in Japan as '''Over Drivin' II''', is the second game in the [[:Category:Need for Speed|Need for Speed series]] and follows [[The Need for Speed]].

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

The Greatest Hits version has a green band on the side of the package instead of a black band.
