First off let me say that I have both products. If you purchase both
products
you wouldn't be disappointed, I promise you. If you have a problem with
either product, just email me and I will take care of you.!!!!
BETHESDA BURNOUT VERSION 1.23 - works flawlessly
with no major outstanding bugs. I am a PLAYTESTER for BURNOUT PCE the
next version and if you liked BURNOUT, you will love BURNOUT PCE. We
have been pre-alpha testing this product now for 2 weeks and it was 95%
solid
day one. Now the 27 Playtesters for BURNOUT PCE will get Alpha 1
this morning and we will test it for a 45 days before its released.
The remaining issues of BURNOUT PCE will be addessed in the next Release
of Burnout 2 in the summer of 1999. In that issue you will get the port
to
Windows 98, Improved Sound, Speed Sensation, Playability and on-line
racing. Not to mention literally hundereds of new features. BURNOUT
2 will be a another major release of drag racing software.
NHRA DRAG RACING -- I have NHRA Drag Racing as well as about 20
of my friends. One of the first issues i had to deal with version 1.00
was the
graphics drivers. NHRA is a Windows program, unlike Burnout which is
Dos/4GW. Although intiially I had some problems with my mouse
(Sluggish),
Frame Rates, Track Loading and Driveability. All of this was fixed just
as soon as
I went www.3dfx.com and loaded the correct graphics drivers. My frame
rate
is over 50FPS, my load times are around 15 seconds, no more mouse
problems
and driveability of course was fixed with all of that. The only
disappointment was
my pedals dont work, but I am told that will be fixed in the first
patch. Knowing
what I know about BURNOUT and living through patches 1.10, 1.20, 1.21,
1.22
and 1.23. I was really impressed now with Version 1.00 of NHRA !!!
OK!!!! The $64,000 question!! Which game do you buy!!! I say BOTH!!!
WHY??? Its really simple. BURNOUT is gasoline/menthanol injected
racing
and NHRA is NITRO TOP FUEL!! With over 200 classes in NHRA, NHRA
has focus on the TOP 2 TOP FUEL DRAGSTER and FUNNY CAR.
While Burnout has the remainder. As a consumer
I cant wait for these 2 companies to push each other. We the consumer
will
benefit. I see both companies running on-line !!! So you see thier
is no choice unless you have a strong perference. If you want to run
BLOWN
NITRO than you need NHRA, if you want to run Injected Nitrous Gasoline
than
you have BURNOUT. I love em both and I race on KALI on Servers #55,
#30, #834, #206 and #399. You want some of me. Come on over and
lets put on the fire suits!!!

PS. The one thing that i was really impressed with was in the NHRA
game you

Having owned and driving a funny car, it doesnt get any better than
this!!!!
