I played all series of Need for speed.. Great game..
but you need steering eqiupment..
and for you to pass some levels you definitely need to use two foot on brake and gas pedals at the same time..Interesting experience though..
Would be very expensive to try that in real life..
-
interesting on the reviews, its either terrible or amazing!
-
I have it, Looks amazing, drives like pants!! I would download the demo. Don't waste your money. But at least if you try the demo you can decide for yourself.
-
Yeah - what's interesting about the game is the way it's being reviewed. Most the magazine reviews show it in a good light, but the user reviews are almost the polar opposite. As already said - looks pretty, drives really badly, and it's been released too early. There are an astonishing amount of bugs in that game. Got placed on the startline without a car... and won the race.

Is it the PC version you have, plus do you have NFS Underground. I played that from start to finush and loved it, just wondered how it compared. :y

Not using the NG's at the mo, might sign back up next month now that things are settling down.

Yeah it is the PC version, off NG (Sssshhhh).
I must admit there is something about the game that makes me wanna boot it up again & again to keep messing with the steering settings to get it do drive better but everytime I do I am dissapointed and angry, especially with Slightly Mad Studio's. >:(
I did play NFS Underground ages ago, but that is a different game completely. No point comparing imho. :y

Well I got the demo.
Hung the 1st time I tried it.
Was jerky the second time round, could hear the engine reving in stutterd stages, so wether I am lacking ram (Can only get this mobo working on 2 x odd 512 DDR2) or the graphics card onlybeing a 256MB GT6600. The performance was the worst I have ever played on this machine.
Turned all setting to lowest, also I have an aftermarket creative sound card as the on board sound was not up to it in other games. So am still disapointed perfomance wise.
The lead in demo is very fast and smooth, so when I build my other machine back together aas the parts are scattered all over at the mo, if the demo plays ok they may consider buying the games.
Other PC, will have 4 GB DDR2, maybe even DDR3, and has a quad core and 8800GTX card for it.

Thats a shame, but with that hardware i'm not suprised it didn't run right. I'd say minimum you'd need a 8800GTX. Ram wise 2 or 4 i don't think will make much difference but if you can get some 1066mhz stuff that will help, it turned my machine into a beast when I upgraded from 800mhz.

I'm not surprised the quality is shit when trying to play a new game on hardware that is 5 years old plus, and that same hardware was only considered "middle of the road" when it was first released.
When you do get your new PC together, I can tell you for fact that you won't benefit from anything more than 3.25GB of RAM, or anything more than dual core unless you move over to a 64bit OS.
However, once you have that 64bit OS, you'll also need the 64bit applications/games to reap the full benefit (and by then, there will be another console that is already wiping the floor with the PC where games are concerned).
