I' m glad to see Need for speed going back to its roots, that fucking urban pimp my ride junk was getting pretty old.

Sweet, downloading.

I downloaded it, but I am still not swayed by it. I dunno, I just find it impossible to
get into NFS...

It' s REALLY bad. It' s actually worse than Most Wanted in every area.. including graphically.

I want Ubisoft to KILL Electronic Arts!

If only people would look at quality in games, EA' s good games are few and far between, where as Ubi really releases quality stuff most of the time!

The only gimmicky thing I like about it, is th slowdown effect, but that' s pretty
much it. The framerate is bad, graphics are sub-par..

The only thing EA endorse in that comes out well is Burnout, and that' s made
by Criterion!

It' s apparently out on marketplace as a playable demo.
Even if you break 2 legs from a crab it still runs!
What you gotta do is find its weak spot and do massive damage at it.

Well, I am off to play the demo again... i am a sucker for slow motion, I just love
it, especially when I am controlling it, I hate random slo-mo... If that' s one perk
about NFS it' s the slo-mo thing..

I saw it, started downloading it, walked away to look at demo screens, and when I saw ' em. I stopped downloading. It looks pretty bad, I' m not a huge racing fan myself, you need some kind of draw (i.e. full auto had guns, burnout had crashing), & I just wasn' t seeing it.

I saw the demo and i think the graphics are amazing for a racing game, especially one from EA

Played the demo, didn' t have fun..

The Drift race was the first race I played and as far as graphics go, I swear I kept checking to see if my 360 controller was connected to my PS2 console.. The Circuit race played better and looked better in spots but still not 360-worthy. I Quit the demo in mid-race and deleted that sucker with the quickness... What a waste.

Piece of garbage..
