Greetings-

Anyone have a clue as to when Need for Speed is going to be released?
I downloaded the demo, it looks like it is going to be a really decent
program.

If anyone knows, please clue me in!

I don't know if this counts as a clue or not, but I saw Sept 22 on Elbo's
release list...at least that means this century.

Need for Speed has been available in stores since Sept. 18 or earlier.  I have
seen it at two software stores already.

I picked it up yesterday at a local software store. I have not been
impressed so far.

LEARN, almighty stupidness.  NEVER buy a new game unless you've played
it before or have the demo.  Maybe you should get a subscription to PC
Gamer.

I picked it up today, I love it! The graphics are great, and I love
ripping up the alpine pass, against traffic, 5.0 mustang cop cars
chasing you! The info and videos on the cars is well done as well.
Soundtrack is top-notch.

Its not a "Simulator" like nascar is, its similar to EA's US Navy
Fighters, great fun, easy to jump in and have a blast! But I'm sure
that purists will not agree.

Great Job EA!!

There's no call for that, man.  If someone doesn't like your pet sim, then
don't listen to him.  For your information, there are many of us out here who
quickly tired of NFS' game play and justified keeping it only because doing
donuts is fun.  Deal with it.

I was just saying that it was kind of dumb to get a game before you
have ANY idea of what kind of game it is.  That's all.

I did watch and learn from the ***(demo), but that makes the game look a
lot better than in real life!! As far as I'm concerned, the only ones who
will appreciate NEED FOR SPEED are fighter pilots. I'm surprised there
aren't any cruise missiles in this game. Does this answer your post,
ALMIGHT STUPIDNESS, PENSKE? Penske? Isn't that a motor oil? How did you
get that name? Your popularity or your smell?

Penske is the auto racing team (IndyCar and NASCAR), idiot!  At least I
am not stupid enough to buy a game that sucks, AFTER I saw the demo and
hated it!  How much money did you end up losing, and what did you do
with the game?

29 September.
