Just ran the small N.I.C.E. 2 demo (on my P200 MMX 3Dfx system). WOW! I
never had such a speed experience on my PC before! After playing it several
times, I tried Screamer Rally again, and man, it felt like driving a rusty
bike! N.I.C.E. 2 is super smooth, very fast and big fun (but very hard to
win...)! In this demo it's really an arcade driving game. But the final game
has an simulation mode, besides this arcade mode. And it has 24 tracks! (Or
do they mean 4 + mirror + reverse + night + rain + mirror and reverse +
Australian track looks beautiful! Awesome! Great scenery. (Altough all trees
are very clearly flat sprites. But hey, my 3Dfx knows how to handle those
pixels!) And furthermore there will be some sort of shoot 'm up mode in the
final version: always nice after an off day! And still the Readme.txt said
this was an Alpha version. Well, if that's true, the Beta must be heaven!
I think I'll download the big demo too: it should have more tracks and cars.
Can anyone confirm this? Somewhere I read about difficulties getting on
those other tracks, etc.
And: did anyone who owns Motorhead try this demo? I planned to buy that game
tomorrow because it gives the best speed experience on the PC (so they say),
but I wonder if it can look and feel faster than NICE 2! Please let me know,
of you know more!
Happy driving!
