Impressive looking.

looks the same as the last one graphics wise.
they seem to bring out these nfs games fairly regular now

hmm... racing games seem to get stale. I hate getting a game only to find out it adds no substantial amount of new gameplay than a previous racing game.

More of the same crap. I epsecialy love that pic of the Gellardo, a bowl of rice and a horce carriage racing together. That really points out what this game is all about, and that the cars will handle like shit. Pass.

fvcking aye. the NFS series has been heading downhill after the porsche instalment. any racing game that actually rewards you for riding corners is shit.

At the end of the day though, the current range of NFS games a re pure arcade, if thats not your stuyle of racing then don't buy it, simple as that really.

I love the arcade style of it myself, means I can just grab it and go without the need to worry about setting the car up to get the best out of it.

Having said that I do like a proper serious racing game as well, GT Legends and GTR for that for me

All in all, looking really good, will be another NFS game on my shelf me thinks when this is released

The best NFS was Hot Pursuit 2. Then it went downhill and cheese.

I was a fan of porsche unleashed for the PC. Have a few others after and they are pretty easy to beat now....

I thought that was very poor myself, just a straight conversion from the consoles over to PC.

Well it's not that easy.

I love the enviroments (sunrises,forests,sea,bridges etc), the cars suck tho. I also like how the cars are "flying" when you crash them .

Apart from the car physics being modeled after the titanic the worst thing about HP2 was the courses. They werent skillfuly crafted patches of road that challenged you, each in your own different way with its own personality, they all felt the same. I never knew which course i was racing on it always seemed so random. A little of this, a little of that, a bridge there, vulcano there and seashore there. On ever fucking trak. Not like the brilliance of for instance NFS5 where you knew each track by heart and could drive it with the eyes closed when you were good enough.

Oh and about the cars in HP2...what was the point in having in the vauxhall vx220, opel speedster and lotus elise. The only difference between the first two is the fucking badge and they dare to sell it to us as a different car and the vx220/speedster is actualy an elise with a different body shell.

i recently bought TOCA 3. now thats a racing game with some real fucking style. is better than NFS's recent episodes in every single conceivable way.

Posted by Moongoose on Jul-14-2006 22:41:

But still not as good as TOCA 2. And by that i mean THE toca 2 not toca racing driver 2.
