i just started playing NFSU on sat. and i'm loving it. its arcade physics feel just right and the visual upgradablity of your car is really fun. the most fun i've had so far (on race 11 of 111) are the drag races. this is the one place where you must drive stick. i dont normally play w/ manual trans cause it just complicates things for this simple man.

they make it work though, but offering no curves and a quick tap of yor direction pad lets you change lanes w/out worrying about oversteer/understeer/etc. the only down side i see is that to earn reputation multipliers for style points, you have to trick your car out. most options are cool, but in RL i hate those lame muffler addons i dont like the feel that i have to add one to get the most out of the game. also, with some of the performance upgrades, they give the option packages of different manufacturers.... but i havent seen a diffence between any of them either visually or performance-wise. it seems like they were added in just to say they have XXX of manufacturers inthe game.

anyone else playing it?

I've been thinking about getting it, but I'm playing Project Gotham 2 right now... gotta love it.

This is on the top of my Christmas list. I played the demo and it kicks ass, but I don't know how fun it will be multi-player wise, which pretty much makes or breaks a game for me.

No it's not. It's been disabled.

Anyway, I just played the demo last week and bought it over the weekend, and I really like the game. I play it whenever I get some free time. The drift races are really easy. Drag races are the most fun.

I have a copy of the game now, but I haven't been able to get around to it because Knights of the Old Republic is owning me right now. I've always had a lot of fun with the Need for Speed games. Lots of nostalgia with NFS SE on the Playstation and then Hot Pursuit 2. The game looks great and I love being able to tinker with the cars and make them look cool--even though I actually dislike the whole "rice rocket" scene.
