BanningZ · 09-16-2009, 05:09 AM

Do want

sloterg · 09-16-2009, 05:11 AM

picking up soon too

MC · 09-16-2009, 05:16 AM

the only gripes i have about it so far is atleast for PS3 you gotta got through like 10 load screens and start up menus to play the damn thing... and the drift events to me so far are impossible. i cant get the cars to drift right. in the other NFS's is was simple in this game i just cant get the hang of it.

also once you get to teir 3 the medium difficulty is ******* hard!!!

graphics are good. they actually look the best in 3rd person view not cockpit.. but the in cockpit animations when the cars wreck is revolutionary to race games the impact is unlike what youve seen before. it gives you a real sensation of confusion and disorientation.. when the car smacks the wall... and like i said with a nice logitech GT wheel the physics( except for the drift that i dont understand) make it one of the funnest driving games ive played. the career mode is really straight foward and you end up driving other type cars that what you own as much as the cars you buy.. kinda like PGR in a way.. it could have been a little more detailed in this aspect

but

i give it a 8.7 out of 10 and was say go pick it up for sure!

Picked it up tonight but I'm too tired to play. Might play after work tomorrow...at least I have Friday off.

*I went with the PS3 version. (s/n IMWEZL) I refuse to buy another Gold account on Xbox after my Elite had the Ring of Death. It's fixed but still they should have solved that issue a while back.

MC · 09-16-2009, 05:20 PM

This game is entertaining, but for me nothing to write home about. Like I had said before it'll quench my gaming thirst till Forza arrives.

All though I found it funny the only race I've had a semi-problem with winning was against a 370. I'm currently at 48 wins 0 losses.

Zerafian · 09-16-2009, 06:17 PM

phelan · 09-16-2009, 06:28 PM

That's basically where the series ended. This is a pretty fun racing game. Nothing NFS has accomplished before, they were always fun arcade racers. Might be worth a rent, if you like racing games. I'd recommend renting before buying though.

Looks nice, but I think I'm going to hold out for F3

ssqpolo · 09-16-2009, 06:40 PM
