How do N-Heat, N-2000, N3 and N4 compare in terms of graphics, AI, physics,
sound, Force Feedback?  I'd like to hear your impressions.

I have the full N3, and demos of Nheat & N2000.  A few things I've noticed:
N-2000 cars seem to bounce too much, but N3 the tracks seem too flat & the
cars glued to the ground.
N-2000 has the infamous "velcro-walls" (has that been fixed?)
N3 cars act like they have anti-lock brakes, but N-heat cars seem to lock up
the tires too easily.

That one's easy; get the demo of Nascar 4, your picture will never be
complete without that :).

N3 and N2000, aren't they pretty much the same thing? Anyway, N3 has an old
2D physics model, NH has a very nice 3d physics model and is very open
ended, but N4 beats them all with fantastic physics that is a world away
from anything else.

Thanks,
Alex
