Sorry but I am unimpressed....and its Papy's fault....they shoulda released
this game before GPL then I wouldn't have been so dissapointed....

Let's see, you don't like the game-- return it.  I'm pleased with N3 and the
multiplayer works splendidly for me, which is what I was after.  There is no
way possible that everyone can be pleased all the time about something.  You
and all the other whiners can just return your copy.

If you don't know by now, let me give you a little suggestion.  Whenever
someone says something, like maybe tells you a story about an experience
they had, or whenever some software is hyped-- try using this calculation:
subtract a good 20% for exaggeration.

As such, someone tells you a story about how once it rained 10 inches in an
hour.  Well, use the 10 here and take 80% of that number, and that's
probably closer to the truth.  Also, if it's a male who tells you the story
or hypes something, you need to add another couple of percentage points.
Generally, also, the older a person gets the more they will exaggerate, so
add even more points if you suspect age.

So this way you won't be too disappointed the next time a racing simulation
comes out.  Look at Floyd-- media coverage subtract 75%-- were you
disappointed?

I guess you missed:

1.  The highly upraded, and much smarter, AI.
2.  The vastly improved sounds.
3.  Graphics that the older versions can't compare to.
4.  Video performance that completely blows away the previous versions.
5.  Online play that, while certainly not TEN quality, is very well
integrated and easy to use.

This is the first upgrade since the original N2 that is worth buying.
NR1999 was a rip-off.  This one is not.

Did you open the box?

I still see cars stop and pile up behind a wreck instead of going
around.....as in N2
NFS High Stakes is pretty too, but that doesn't make it a good Racing
sim...I am basing my judgement on GPL which vastly improved the driving
model. Hell even Viper Racing seemed better in this sense. There is no
argument that the did a great job visually and with the sounds....but its
still N2 on the inside.
ID software wouldn't release a new Quake engine in a game then go back and
release the next Quake game in an older engine than what was availble to
them. I just wished they could have worked with the GPL version maybe cut
out some detail but atleast stick with newer technology, Heck even looking
side to side in the***pit view like GPL or anything to make me think I
wasn't just driving around in a Prettier N2 game.

Ya, but after GPL did you not expect more?
sorry, IMHO I did
