this game is ok, definatly NOT the best racer ever, not even close, the customizing is the only really good part of the game, the actual racing is pretty poor and the gfx are ok, but everything is too shiny, if you like this type of racing (style points etc) I'd recommend you get project gotham 2, as it kills this game in everyway
oh here is my focus :p

Well maybe you dont liker racing games then, because this is indeed the BEST arcade racing ever, and I cant believe your compare this awesome game to the ty and overhyped PG2 (which is lame).
Not only this game is very fun and addictive the cars and the graphics are amazing, the detail to the cars is like no other (except GT), the car performances are also life like (youll know the diffrence between a civic and an RX7 or RX7 and Supra).
Whoever says this game sux obvisouly not into games, this game was rated 9.3 on IGN.
I also hate EA, but they really nailed it with this game. |

Umm I have my qualms with the game as Ive stated. That doesnt mean I dont know what im talking about. Basically this is just like Tokyo Extreme Racer, some good ideas and the best graphics of the time...but still screwed up in many ways.
I could continue, but this guy makes too many good points for me:

This game is the worst NFS game yet. It does not deserve the NFS name. It should be called “Need for Pretty Graphics With no Driving Model or Connection to Reality”. No matter what cars are in the game, the driving model is SO console it is horrible to play. After the first 3 NFS games they have just been getting worse and worse. Maybe the developers should call the ones who made NFS 1 or 2 or actually play those games and see what a driving game should be like. For instance: 1) This is a console thing from way back; I do not know the exact name for it, but I call it handicapped code, no matter what upgrades you have or skill level you pick the computer guys are always catching up to you and the same goes for you. You can race the computer guys and they are right there with you. Crash once and then you run them down in no time only to suddenly slow down so that your car is now the speed it was before the crash. 2) In the drag race mode upgrades also do not seem to matter much here. You somehow get a decent boost of speed with a perfect shift and somehow slow down about the same amount if you over rev it. It does not come even remotely close to a car that is over revved. Instead of the power dropping off like a normal car, the car slows down after the shift, where in real life it would actually accelerate better from the shift point on then when shifting at lower revs or what is called a perfect shift in this game. Also instead of paying for the use of all the “cool music” (NOT), how about working on the sound of the engines a bit more. More often then none when you do not have a big shift light shining in your face, you use the feel of the car or sound of the motor to shift. I always have the radio off at the track when I drag my 690HP 68 Mustang with its port fogger NO2 system. I use a shift light, but I can shift it by ear even with the helmet on just as good. I also like the Nitrous touch that they add to the game. It could not be further from real life. For all you kiddies out there NO2 does not give you more top speed. It is best used during acceleration from like second or third gear on up. It is also much, much, more complicated then just pressing a button. You really need to be in a certain RPM range to activate it. And flames do not shoot out of your exhaust because of it. If that were really happening on NO2 you would not be getting the power out of it and the exhaust valves would be toast in a few seconds. I do not care what you saw in the Fast and the Fictitious 1 or 2. The ignorant developers probably saw those movies too and that is about the extent of what they know about cars. This is my all time biggest problem with games like this. I bought the stupid thing why is everything cool locked? Last time I bought a PT52 Turbo for my 517HP and 733 FT/LB torque GMC Typhoon; they did not really seem to care about my style points, or if I had stickers on my windshield or car. The game should be based on money. You buy what you want with it, and race within you and your car’s ability. That is very simple, very realistic, and it would make it so much more interesting. There are guys in real life, who spend 5-10K on car modifications and some of their cars can’t get out of their own way. Too bad for them that they can’t just buy a level 1, 2, or 3 engine/drive train/suspension upgrade. It seems that FPS games are going for more realism and better graphics, while car and air games are just becoming Direct X 8/9 shows with some controls in them. Oh yeah and why do all the roads look wet the entire time? Are they waxed?

OMG I cant believe you compare STUNS from the 90's to this, Im not even going to comment on this, but I guess it all comes down to personal prefrence.
As for me, I LOVE this game, Im totally addicted to it, and is definatly the bets racing game ever, and I played them all including GT. |

me too. I just got it and i love it. The drifting thing is kinda neat too:cool:
The graphics are pretty good. Good enough that there is good detail in the right places and enough detail that your computer can take it.
The music is good too, but you can't really import your own tunes in like Vice city. Still the tunes are pretty cool, i havent heard most of them before.
Style and Coolness Factor: I like the steering of the cars and the engine noise. Turbo is very nice and some of the cars understeer like in real life.
The only thing i want to change about the game is the camera view when you "fly". It think the different camera view is neat, but there should be an option to turn it off.
The intro is pretty cool and the game is simple to navigate.
IMO overall: 9/10 |

I give it 9.5/10, too bad you cant import your own music, and they sould of added few more cars.
AND I CANT BELIEVE THEY MADE THE 240SX WHICH IS A RWD THEY MADE IT FRONT WD :rolleyes: |
