Just got this game and its brill!! like all EA games it has CLASS music in and the gameplay, oh the gameplay. SOO GUUUD!! right now me and my bro are taking turns and we're doing this career mode. You start of with this crap car then you get mmoney and add anything you like to it. e.gs headlights, bumpers, neon lights, new alloys and stuff.

You also get famous, like the betta you race, betta your car is the more famous u get. You get to be on the front cover on amgazines. That also measn you make the big bucks. Right now ive unlocked quite alot you would think but, in career you have over 120 races, soo theres much to get yet.
I strongly recomend this especcialy if your a big fan of driving games, not only is it real but its fun and at tha same its an arcade game!! :D :D

soo anyone thinking of gettin it?? :)

I might get it like, it sounds like a gaming version of The Fast and The Furious.

sheringham316
20-11-2003, 02:43
yea it is like a gaming verion of the fast and furious, i hear theres actually gonna be a game called "the fast adn the furious" :confused:
from what ive played, i think that neee4speed is the best racing game there is (well only need4speed underground) i think tha others are abit dodgey :D

21-11-2003, 06:32
I might rent it within the next few days. I just can't wait another month to play it. :)

Alternatively, I'll look for a mag featuring a demo of it. Anyone know of any magazines that have a NFS:Underground demo?

sheringham316
21-11-2003, 06:46
i think you can get a demo in this months (or might be last) addition of "playstion 2 offical mag" they usually have demo's in there. Im not 100% sure weither it was this months or last month since my mate had it tha demo, but i cant remember which month he said he ahd it.
Well you've got option number 2 if that dont work.. u can download it at: http://www.eagames.com/official/nfs/underground/us/home.jsp
:D :D hope its ok playin it on pc!!

There is indeed a demo of NFSU in the OPS2 with Return of The King as the cover game. Issue 40, as I recall. Great demo but I played a better one in an American magazine which truly blew my mind away. Endearing stuff. Too many good-great titles out right now though, which is frustrating considering WE7 has been eating up my gaming life for ages now.

I'm currently playing Jak II, HCTP, Call of Duty and MP2! And there's still PoP, BG&E, Manhunt (which should get an AO rating), THUG, I-Ninja, R&C: Going Commando etc. waiting to be played (not purchased, of course).

sheringham316
21-11-2003, 07:13
HCTP??
smackdown5: here come tha pain?
ive played most of them games and there top :) my favs out of them have to be hctp, man hunt and tha best one "Call Of Duty" that games is just BRILLIANT!!
i agree with ya there are waay too many games out which are good (this month especialy)

if you wanna get it on ps2 then get the tha mag, you'll get to play all these other fantastic games, but if ya just wanna have a lil go and save £6.00 :p download it off tha site :)

Yes, HCTP=Here Comes The Pain. Well done for solving my acronym. :) To be honest with you, I'm not entirely impressed. The new match modes and grappling system are great but the weight detection is way off and often infuriating. HBK can't suplex Prince Albert? I'm sorry Yukes, but yes, yes he can. This man went through a 60-minute Iron Man match with Bret Hart with a broken arm. He's as tough as they get (not just basing it on his WWE personality).

Manhunt, sheringham? Aren't you 13? :)
Even I'm starting to have doubts about purchasing the game. At first, I thought the violence was just a gimmick to add shock value to the title but upon playing parts of it, I can honestly say (while being a very good game) it is extremely disturbing and not for the faint of heart. I have no idea how R* got away with a 'Mature' rating. ESRB=shambles.

Call of Duty is amazing, true, albeit not as historically telling (sorry, history buff) as Rising Sun. The feeling of the game is just right, however, I imagine. The disorientation in Stalingrad is excellent. Fuck textbooks, give this and MOH to GCSE students.

sheringham316
21-11-2003, 07:56
Dont recall me ever telling my age on here before hmmmmmm :confused: oh well :cool:

With the 1st 2, i played for like 10 mins each... i havent got tha demo, my mate has and i went round his and he just soo happend to have tha demo's!!

I thought that smackdown5 was class in every aspect, it impressed me. If you ever played "no mercy" in there if you was over a certain amount of weight e.g 400lb's then people wouldnt be able to pick um up. Maybe its tha same with smackdown:hcpt, and albert is just over the boundary. Albert looks quite heavy, and too be honest i dont think i would ever see hbk suplex albert, now that would be somthing to record!! :D ...i guess IF you cant pick people up like test then that would be stupid, but albert i dont think theres much wrong with that, unless hes lost weight :eek:

Manhunt looked very violant, and at the same time it looked crap. The acctual game looked like it had a good idea but the graphics wasnt to good. In this type of genre you wouldnt really wanna see crappy blood scenes. I thought it was guud for tha lil time i was playin but, it depends on how long your gonna wanna be playin it for!!

Now the last game "Call Of Duty" is unbeliveable, it just has a movie kind of effect to it and its too guud!! Since my graphics card got messed and have been given a crap one for time begin i have to play on my bro's comp when hes not on, (hes always on :mad: ) i hardly get to play it :( but from what ive played and seen; its pure class!! :D

PicturePerfect
21-11-2003, 16:10
Fine. You'ree probably not into the older generation of wrestling and believe me, HBK can suplex A-Train with ease. Why, in 1996, he suplexed Big Daddy Cool and he easily exceeds A-Train's weight. Want a newer, fresh ( :rolleyes: ) example? How about RVD not being able to suplex (or any other lifting move) Test, eh? Believe me, I've played the game for ages now, and the weight detection system needs some fine-tuning.

Manhunt has some of the best graphics around, I don't know what build you were playing. The grisly cutscenes and dark nature of the environments suit the subject matter and are done exceedingly well.

That's true. There are a number of games out at the moment that I'm setting my sights on. :)

Can´t say more, had just 2 races.

Had a good go at it a little while back in my local games shop and it was great. Multiplayer is fantastic especially Drag mode. The only niggle I had with the game was the repetition of tracks. Not really any big differences in any of the tracks I played on.

Still, another AAA title.

sheringham316
21-11-2003, 23:13
i think in manhunt the backgrounds look ok but the people dont :(. There kinda got fat faces and dont look as if they are strong and muscley!!

Not strong and muscly enough for you?

sheringham316
21-11-2003, 23:31
nope.... i think if there was more detail in tha bodeis it would look betta, although there bodies have a strong figure, there is just somthing about it that doesnt convince me enough. There faces look good though :)

Remember i havent got tha game but my mate has, and i only played for like 5 mins and watched for 5 mins then moved on to tha next game... i cant remember it properly but from what i CAN remember i wasnt too pleased with some bits of tha graphics. Im gonna get it and then i'll see what people are talkin about...

maybe i'll have a change of mind :eek: :)

22-11-2003, 00:01
Although the screenshots are stunning, it doesn't do the game justice and many professional reviewers would agree with me. If you see the game in action for a reasonable amount of time, you'll find the visuals are one of it's most appealing aspects.

you'll notice that the pc version has waay more cheats. Casue its only came out, there isnt much. Hopefully more people will buy it and then post in cheats on the net... but for now these are the only cheats for ps2!

i'll look around sum more!! :)

Lorenzinho
22-11-2003, 07:00
so, should i buy it? what would u give it out of ten. for gameplay, graphics, sound and lifespan(kinda stupid to ask about lifespan its only been out for a day)

Paul B
22-11-2003, 07:24
Here's a review (http://ps2.ign.com/articles/440/440657p1.html) I found.

Sounds and looks great. I'll be purchasing a copy of OP2M tomorrow to get my hands on the demo. Can't wait. :)

sheringham316
22-11-2003, 07:49
Well my 1st impressions were that it looked awesome and looked very fun, and exciting. Its acrade and i noticed straight away that when u play a computer they wont just stay in a route and follow each other like other games "no names mentioned", making it look perfect and dumb. In need for speed they do what ever they can to win, they'll barge you into buildings and there ALL over the place. :D :D REAL COOL! :cool:

remember this is all based around pc

gameplay : 8
graphics : 8
sound : 8
value : 8 on pc ;)
tilt (experience overall) : 9


gameplay... well i wouldnt give it a 10 or a 9 since if your real far away with someone (even on hard) and your driving shit, they'll drive shit too and you'll easly be able to catch right up, but if your driving reall guuud they will too. I think that would be good if it was on easy, but on hard it should be hard all the time!!

graphics... are fantastic however, even with tha top of the range computer, it still has a little feeling which shouts improvement. If this was on ps2 then i would give it atleast a 9 most proberly a 10, but for pc they could have added lil bits too make it better, like the neon lights too light up more, plus they've left all the ruff edges in which leaves it like tha ps2 version abit. Now too be perfectly onest here, ive asked my bro about some of these casue he plays it waay more then me and he thinks its an 8 personally i think its a 9 but hes played it alot more and gotten used to stuff and noticed bits which are dodgey. :rolleyes:

Sound... the sound again is fantastic (like all EA games the music is top). Its got a variety of music in, which could suit all people. Some songs i dont even like but i listen to them on need for speed any wayz since it just suits the whole theme. Like i said i havent played this game as much as my bro.. I would give it a 9 but ive played it for like 2-3 max alltogether... whereas my bro has been playing it alot more. It does sound good and everything, but the engines sumtimes they doo your head in abit, though u can turn it off... Most the engines sound the same but you still here each and every part of the boost and the wind :)

Value... Well havent had it for ages but right now it seems very addictive, It seems quite easy which is kinda bad, but theres soo many races ( 111 in career). I guess wants u have finished with that it could get boring with the ps2 version, but not with pc version, since u could play other people online!

Tilt... Overall i think this is 1 fantastic game, and should be purchased by any racing fan. It has great lookin graphics excelent music and sound. It has a quick learning curve and you'll be able to knock right into action!! Not only do u have a career mode but once its over u can just share your fun with other people online thats if you have the pc version

im not sure if the console versions are online?? X-BOX might

PicturePerfect
22-11-2003, 16:56
The PS2 version is online, NTSC anyway. No other consoles get online play thanks to EA's one year online-exclusivity contract with Sony. Bummer.

sheringham316
22-11-2003, 18:06
LOL, does that mean for a whole year no other console is gonna have need for speed on it.
Im preety sure it's comin on all consoles...
if it does come out on all consoles in a year then its gonna be useless since there will be better games by then. :(

The best part i woud say is trying to improve your car and gettin more popluar.
More popular you are, the bigger the races, the bigger the races are the more money is up for grabs, the more money you have, the betta your CAR GETS!!

You misunderstood, I said:

"The PS2 version is online, NTSC anyway. No other consoles get online play thanks to EA's one year online-exclusivity contract with Sony. Bummer."

The game is still coming out on all consoles and the PC, but online play is only a feature in the PC and PS2 versions.

I've noticed that the handling is much improved from the last game, more realistic.

Also, you no longer just bounce off walls. You can spin out of control and fly through the air. :cool:

sheringham316
23-11-2003, 20:41
in away i think tha bouncing of tha wall and spining out of control is a bad thing, cause you could be in an important race but i guess it is waay more realstic. I like the idea of flying in tha air that is truely cool.

Did ya prefere tha acctual ciruit races or tha drag races?
i personally prefere tha drag!! :D

I just think the new handling makes it more realistic and challenging. :)

I've only played the drag race once and made a complete cock-up of changing gears. :rolleyes: :D I'll give it another crack later though.

sheringham316
23-11-2003, 21:43
cock up hey... lol
you basicly just have to press the gear up button when tha green circle goes to green. If you do then you get a "perfect shift" and you'll go faster.
Theres only one wayy to improve the drag races, and that is to make them loonger :D

p.s just thought i should mention how to do it since i never realzied how to do it, untill after a couple of goes! ;)

Paul B
23-11-2003, 21:48

What's the music like on there? There's just the one song on the demo, "Holla Back" which is pretty good. :)

NFSHP2's music was brill! :cool:

sheringham316
23-11-2003, 22:04
The music is class in this game too. :D
What do you have the demo on, pc or ps2??

on my demo i had a lots of diff tracks:
born to slow - crystal method
the only - static x
ride - lost prophets
and sum i cant rememeber :D

The music is just too guud :). Theres sum songs which aint really my paticular brand of vodka :p but they really suit the game. I listen to all the songs in tha game but i wouldnt listen to sum of them on its own. (when im not playing n4speed)
SUM people complain about the songs :confused: though it gives the feeling to speed up lol :D
There are lots of differnet genre's of music, so theres a good varitey for all people!! :D

sheringham316
24-11-2003, 04:56
ive got all tha things you just mentioned (paint and stuff), i think i know which alloys your talkin about. Do they tottaly stand out compare to any other type?? and are they really shiney, like if you put gold colour on them they look like real gold?

Well if it is'nt the one's these one's im sayin are preety damb kool. :D:D

24-11-2003, 04:58
u were sayin that the music is good. i agree but ive got surround sound in ma room and my bro linked it up so that my laptop sounds can mix with the ps2. so i put the volume down on the ps2 and play nesong i like fromn the laptop. its brill

scharf_10
24-11-2003, 05:01
kool this is 40th lol. i think i know which alloys u on bout. r they the 1s which are a kinda funny shape not just straight pieces of metal. neway i know that we are getting broadband soon here through satelite so i'll challenge u 1 day.

sheringham316
24-11-2003, 05:18

yea these aloyys do have a complete diff shape, they look thick, and heavy duty sorta. :eek:
it would be my pleasue to kick sum ass (right after i get my skyline) < runns off
< starts to hide :(

scharf_10
24-11-2003, 05:24
yeah i know the 1s u mean. there kool. yeah there is no sound from my tv. it is coming through the surround speakers. then i put the music off in options on the game and then put music running from my laptop on. so it mixes the reving of the cars and the music from my laptop. get it? if i am able to beat the race i am on then i could beat ne1 lol.

sheringham316
24-11-2003, 05:28

whats ya fav type of race in there
circuit, drag, etc etc

scharf_10
24-11-2003, 05:31
i think the drags are really fun because they are really fast but i like the circuits when u get a new car. i like trying it out. if u hav done the drag 14th construction and vine or woteva its called if u go fast enough u can beat the train without having to jump it. hav u used any cheats on ur game?

sheringham316
24-11-2003, 05:53
nope havent used any cheats on it
i got passed tha train 2nd then i found out how there is a bump thing there
1st of all i used just bang into the train and hope i would fly over it :D
Now i neva jumo over the ramp, infact i cant since i start to fast and stuff :(

what cheats...
which ones do you want??

AndrewC
01-12-2003, 12:17
I like Midnight Club 2 better than this game. Just personal opinion. But this game is far too repetitive ie. racing the same location for ages. In midnight club you have more freedom and it is more like street racing. I like the handling of midnight club 2 better as well because it's more arcade like and less frustrating.

But of course, like all EA games, this gets all the headlines and the glory. My sister says that this game is really good because of the music... Never heard of that before have we?

-=[101st]=-
01-12-2003, 12:33
For the music :( ??? tell her to buy the cds...

AndrewC
01-12-2003, 17:54
Midnight club 2 is poor!

You might think so but I don't. I'm not really into cars and that so I'm happy with a more arcade style game which isn't all about building the cars. You might be different. It's all about personal taste I suppose.

MatPhillips
01-12-2003, 23:02
My 206 is FUNKY TOWN now! its skinning everybody! including my mates MX5

MatPhillips
01-12-2003, 23:29
i judge how good my car is by the very 1st Drag track! (14th and Vine...?) my mates car squeezes 24.50 seconds on that, mine gets 25.26, so i gotsta beef it up a bit, just about to get my hands on level three turbo's and stuff. should catch me up right nice

i've unlocked a fair few, but not all. i think the Sentra is cool looking (i think thats the one i'm thinking of, might not be, its red and white with samurai type guy on)

jag87
03-12-2003, 01:22
The Supra i have "heard" is the best car in the game. IS it true that it has the highest upgrade capibilities?!

MatPhillips
03-12-2003, 01:29
congrats on 2500 posts! i thought my computer was playing up when i saw your bar ;)

Not sure which is the best performing car, but my souped up 206 is good

jag87
03-12-2003, 03:58
Thanx MatPhillips! Im sure you'll catch up soon! ;)

I am fond of the 206 as its my families second car! Can you post some images of your car?

MatPhillips
03-12-2003, 21:34
unfortunately, i cant, i haven't got the capabilities and dont know any one who has! sorry.

i got 22.79 seconds on that 14th and vine drag level last night! knocking about 2 seconds off my best time! still to unlock/add level 3 Nos, weight reduction and sometgin else i cant remember!

hoping to hit 20 seconds by the weekend!

then i'll give my mates MX5 what for! ;)

oh tha supra is not as guuud as tha skyline, though can be quite fast but not as guud :(
ths skyline feels real powerfull for me, thats guud other then trying to do them time trial tracks "you have to go round a wavey track in a certain time, its tha one where you are racing cars but there not there casue it would put you off...oh and you have to drift. (swerve, skid)" hope ya get which one i mean ;)
its too powerfull for tha, otherwise its too guuud.
I think tha 2nd best type of car is tha one in my sig :rolleyes: top!! :D

Danny thats a superb car! Theirs 111 races in career mode my friends tells me! How much have you completed?

dannyboy20
06-12-2003, 23:02
I've completed 104 races of the 111 i think now, so almost done :D

Sheringham: i didnt take that long designing it as its based on my previous cars, plus the vinyl is a "unique" one too. I've changed it since i took those pics yesterday though, now got the level 3 rear bumpers :D

sheringham316
07-12-2003, 08:13
LOL... theres infact more then 111 races, casue thats not counting all races in tha lil tornoments you have in career mode!!
hey danny, you got a real kool lookin car but i just had a thought.. have ya unlocked these WICKED ALLOYS!! there prob tha most shiny, biggest and most gorgeus alloys eva!! i think they would look real nice on ya car :D:D
Have a lil look and you'll prob spot um straight away ;)
Though your car looks real guud already, soo why mess with success :D "so you could succeed further" ;)

dannyboy20
07-12-2003, 15:37
i don't know if ive unlocked those mate, i finally finished it all yesterday. It said i raced 113/111. I never unlocked some of the stuff though and it won't let me unlock it now :( Things like a couple level 3 vinyls i never unlocked. grrrr

I've changed my car since though as i got a new wide body kit, i'll post a pic later on of it :)

MatPhillips
08-12-2003, 22:24
i'm just on 92 out of 111! nearly there. i now find myself changing my car more often than i change my kit on PES 3!!!

got a sky line at the moment! on 14th and vine (like i said before i use that to measure improvement) i got 21:16 friday night!

me and my mate finally raced each other and literally won 50% each!

good job really, imagine the hurt feelings after days of "my cars better than your pile of sh*t" taunts!!! ;)

also beat the record of "last races" on friday! about 74 i think!

sheringham316
10-12-2003, 03:45
i made money!! :D:D
none of um ever wanna race me again though :(

dannyboy20
10-12-2003, 06:38
lol nice one mate. I didnt know that after i completed underground mode i could still unlock new vinyls etc. easiest way to do it is going to Quick Race, selecting drift and 5-10 laps and then get as many Style Points as possible. :D

I'll get a pic of my new skyline on here tomorrow.

sheringham316
10-12-2003, 06:48
yea once underground's done i was kinda upset soo i just started doin arcade and i ended up gettin new vinyls :eek:
i really badly wanna show ya me and my bros car but i keep forgettin to tell him t o give it me!!
cant wait too see ya car danny ;) think its a big improvement to tha last pic ??

Bloody fucking good game just like NFS:HP2

MatPhillips
04-01-2004, 02:09
yeah, i'm getting hot Pursuit 2 of my mate, its such a different game i think i could quite happily own both!

My only gripe with NFS:HP2 is that the cops seem to throw that tyre spike thing out in EVERY race!

sheringham316
04-01-2004, 07:03
Personaly i wasnt a big fan of this since it kinda got abit repetitive. The game control wasnt too good either. Theres a vast improvement from NFS:HP2 to NFS:UG


My only gripe with NFS:HP2 is that the cops seem to throw that tyre spike thing out in EVERY race!

:eek: I thought that was 1 of the best features in the game. They should have included cops (in cars) chasing you, in NFS:UG. Would have made it abit harder.

... but not in all races for career mode, about 7 or 8 :)

MatPhillips
04-01-2004, 19:55

adams9802
05-01-2004, 12:20
I would buy NFS HP@ instead a much better game In my opinion and much cheaper :)

MatPhillips
05-01-2004, 22:03
no i dont do that R2 thing, i'll give it a try!

I think both are worth buying, but if i had to pick one, i'd go for Underground personally (Drag and Drift modes are cool extra's) and seasons a great experience.

NFS:Underground is both my 2nd favourite game (what can top PES?) and my most hated on some days, its so frustrating when you hit a really tough race!!!!

got 111/111 now, but i'm not finishing the game by beating that Legend fella cos it will stop me editing my car!

asher b
06-01-2004, 02:43
its the car editing that attracts me :D i love editing stuff.

is there really loads of possibilities with it?

CtrlAltDel
06-01-2004, 03:09
its a pretty good race game
gets pretty tough towards the end

the decals allow you to make the paint jobs pretty custom

but the body kits and stuff is pretty limited and scripted...

MatPhillips
08-01-2004, 19:56

yes it is a good game. best racing game to come from ea games for a long time. i liked gta 3 a spec toca race driver but NFS as to be the best racing game yet.with all the modifications u can do to ur car.o by the way cleared the underground mode with a nissan skyline. with stage three turbos stage three nos infact stage three everything. cars so fast i have to bolt the tele to wall.good sound tracks as well and car sounds are good as well if ur playing it through a big sony hifi and using a toshiba 28inch surround television in my bedroom.

i completed it and have gone round again, and i'm STILL stuck on the Enduro street race (or as i call it "the 7laps of dooooooom")

i swear on my 1st go on it, i crossed the line in 1st on all of the 1st 6 laps...then the guy in 2nd passed me, and as i was overtaking him to retake 1st he went across 3 lanes of traffic to ram me into the wall, no exaggeration!

15+ attempts later i've still not recovered from the shock

ChelseaDave
20-01-2004, 02:53
Yeh, i did 6 perfect laps & then halfway through i crashed horribly & ended up in 3rd. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!! i swore at the screen so much (sad i know) and my mum came up and told me off for using such foul language...

anyway about that need 4 speed thing, i got 94, & plus the woman is well fit!..... yes i know she's computer animated but still :rolleyes:

i completed it again last night, did 7lapper on 2nd attempt, i did a perfect race, which chuffed me good.

whats everyones best individual drift AND total drift score?

on drift course 4 my mate got 77914 in ONE drift and 214765 in total, in same race.

we were stunned. he was just glad someone witnessed it, he was about a foot away from the wall when it finished aswell, imagine losing all of that.

hey Ash, is renting first a posibility???

23-01-2004, 18:55
seems like a plan..

i find it so replayable. i Started it for 3rd time yesterday. going through as Mazda Mx5.

first time i was Peugeot 206
second Honda Civic.

i want to edit the performance of that car you do the very first "test race" with. (white/red/black Civic)

and i want its Vinyl (the shredder type guy from the turtles) HE'S COOL

What are you people's fave songs on the game?

My faves are "Two-Lane Blacktop", "The Only", "Broken Promises" and "Story of the Year".

sheringham316
30-01-2004, 04:36
GOLF, hey... nice!! :D... i think as the last car they should have added a porche 911 turbo. Would have been fantastic!! :)

fav songs... urm theres soo many good ones im gonna pick 2

1. Ride - Lostprophets
2. The only - Static X

brilliant songs :D

MatPhillips
30-01-2004, 21:22
statix X: the only
Element 80 (cant remember song name)
rob zombie: two lane black top
story of the year: the hero will drown.

its all good!!!

my Mazda Mx5 looks so cool!

the skyline is the only car that can handle amazing speeds. my first career i had it 1 nlock from being full acceleration and it was top speed, changed to lancer on 2nd go and its top on both, but its engine blows way sooner!!

asher b
01-02-2004, 04:45
i got it today! :D what a game.

got a blue ford focus with aqua neon lights, very pretty :)

been on 4 magazines. dunno if thats good or not.

What are your feelings now? ;)

i got the jeans first, but im extremely pissed off cos now the jeans are £30.. but i got the game for £30 anyway so im not that bothered..

but i could have had the game earlier!! :( why didnt you tell me you can have neon lights? u know how much i love pretty stuff like that :D

The only way to find out is to try Ash. If I told you the fun stuff, it wouldnt really be an experience.

MatPhillips
02-02-2004, 16:51
you glad you got it Ash????

What do you think of the fell of the game/graphics???

i reckon it plays really fast, you actually get the feeling of speed unlike some other racing games, especially when the screen blurs after NOS

asher b
03-02-2004, 03:08
yeah, its great :D i like the feel of the car. on gt3, great game but you always hit the walls unless u slow down to a ridiculously slow speed. on nfs its easier to turn and slide.

graphics are great too.

i agree that its better to learn for yourself, but if i was told of the extent you can mod the game, id have got it ages ago :D

i beat the game last thursday n i'm pissed becoze i cant trade in my skyline 2 s2000 for drag!!!!!!!!!!

MatPhillips
03-02-2004, 21:08
Does anyone else find that the only car that can handle speeds of over 215mph is Skyline???

mine was top speed and 1 from top accel, i traded it it for Lancer (top in both, thus techically faster) but that blows at 210mph, the first time i raced with skyline it went 230mph+ and didn't blow (must have timed NOS brilliantly) but now it handle 220ish.

i said before, the level i use to gauge how good my car is normal 14th+vine, my mate got 20:17 on it, my best is 20:48, has anyone beaten these times? i'm intrigued to see if sub 20 times are possible

can you all submit your best ti mes please ONLY ON THAT LEVEL (14th & Vine)

The advantage of finishing the game is that you can tune any car you want and race it any drag/free run tournament.

yeah but the disadvantage is that you cant tune or trade the car that got you there in the 1st place.

i only completed it the 1st time, the other two times i've left it on the last race so i can still edit!

ChelseaDave
06-02-2004, 23:23
yeh, whenever i went through the tricky area i always crashed so i went through oncoming traffic. i found that way much easier surprisingly...

how do u get inside 20 sec??i tried everthing..including the NOS tapping

MatPhillips
19-02-2004, 20:28
we do NOS tapping technique. i think a lot of it is down to your start. and i cant explain how i do mine. my mate is consistantly in 20's now. i still hover around 21, with the odd 20.50. i nos between gears til i get in to 6th, then use the rest when i have the ramp at the end in sight. but dont actually go over the ramo, you lose a slight bit of time

Marshy
19-02-2004, 20:32
What would you advice me to get:
Prince of Persia: Its a quality game, i got the demo
NFSU: I haven't played it so i don't know what its like

sheringham316
19-02-2004, 20:47
Hard choice as both games are class!! i would say NFSU
If ya have a phone get Prince of Persia on that, my mates had it on there's and it was well good!! :D

Foxhound
20-02-2004, 08:50
but...i go to the ramp but still...cant get inside 20s is it becoze of my unique upgrade??engine,turbo&nos..good combination??

MatPhillips
20-02-2004, 20:08
i think i chose unique nos+turbo. seems to the trick. what are your cars stats (e.q mine is one from top accel and top on speed, handling doesn't matter.)

p.s.finally broke 50,000 drift (course 6) with Mazda Mx5 i got 57000. but the sad things is...thats not even half my mates (he got 125,000 on same course)

for 50,000 you get an "Insane drift" bonus, and for 100,000 you get "drift king" which he very probably is.
