Not very impressed by this demo. On a P200 with 48MB it feels very
similar to NFS2. It plays too fast and the car physics aren't
particularly good.  Cars that are supposed to do 0 to 60 in 5 seconds do
it a lot quicker than that and they don't even have a functional tach.
I downloaded the regular demo (unplayable) and the 3DFX demo (much
better, but still not much fun) and I think its safe to say I won't be
buying this one.  Why is it that a game that is 2 years old (NFS) is far
and away superior to anything that comes out now.  The cars in that game
all feel and sound different like they should.  I would be very
satisfied if EA would take NFS and add about 6 new tracks (at least 3 of
which included segments) and re-release it with 3DFX support.

I have one word for you -- ACCOLADE --

I haven't been impressed with much of their stuff lately ...  Did you
try their JOKE of a Monster Truck game -- I returned it the SAME DAY I
bought it.  What a piece of ***that was ...
