This article needs to be completely re-written. No links, no mention of any add-ons and some of the stuff isn't true. I'll try do it when I get a chance. -- Bears54 04:43, 24 November 2006 (UTC)
Yeah, the "In the Playstation version damage is a bit different other wise the same in some areas from its PC counterpart like its PC counterpart damage can also be toggled on or off." statement is uber! Very poor grammar and lotta mistakes... Correcting... Echad 18:03, 28 July 2007 (UTC)

Need for Speed III: High Stakes → Need for Speed: High Stakes — A user renamed this page. I don't know if it was in good or bad faith, but the name is wrong. The game does not have a number in it's name, as it can be seen in the boxart. nickin conversation contribution 15:24, 9 March 2010 (UTC)
I have renamed it back as such. APR76 ( talk) 03:48, 15 March 2010 (UTC)
It might be a good idea to add in a real section about the modding community for this game... If no one wants to write it I will because I am a good writer and this is my favorite video game of all time! :) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.15.78.252 ( talk) 02:36, 20 May 2010 (UTC)

There's little information within the article that explains that this game is basically a tweaked version of NFS: Hot Pursuit. All of the tracks and most of the cars that appeared previously are here as well. Kschang77 ( talk) 21:14, 14 January 2011 (UTC)
Now that there's an actual gameplay section describing the different game modes, these recent additions don't really have a place in the article; They're not in like with WP:VG/GL's section naming guidelines, i.e sticking to using sections like "Plot, "Gameplay", "Reception" etc. That is to say the "notable changes" section sticks out like a sore thumb, but a bigger problem is that there's no indication as to how or why any of this is notable. Again, as an uninitiated reader, I cannot glance anything useful from it. It's also written in the wrong tense -- It's using past tense, but this is discouraged unless a game has become unavailable, for example an MMO that has since shut down. It's also putting undue weight on a slew of small details. This makes sense within the context of the review, but ratching up every one of them from the article on an encyclopedic article does not really make sense. The biggest value is the gamespot article that is cited, but I feel this would be put to better use in a more generalized way as part of the Reception section as opposed to having all its contents paraphrased in a separate, non-standard category.

The play station and PC version changes need a separate mention beacuse the article described the game in the way that "It is based on Need For Speed: Hot Pursuit" and nothing else while in reality, it wasn't the case. It was only the PC version which was based on the old instalment. Which is why it was necessary to mention that the play station version recieved major changes. It was also necessary to mention that because people think that it is Need For Speed: Hot Pursuit with add ons while this isn't the case either. Past tense was used because this game is almost 20 years old. It was used to describe it as such. U1 quattro TALK 02:55, 20 March 2019 (UTC)
The other sources mentioned later in the article state the same info but you are correct. As you have now modified it, it seems less relevant. You can merge the information in a generalized way as you had said. U1 quattro TALK 07:30, 21 March 2019 (UTC)
