Nice 2: best driving demo up to now!

After posting a very positive message yesterday about Nice 2, the small
demo, I downloaded the big one too. And here's my advice: GET THE BIG ONE!
This is the best demo of a driving game I've ever seen: three cars and three
complete tracks, on which you can drive 5 laps races! No one lap race or two
minutes limit and back to the desktop here! You get a nice interface and
three awesome tracks! This is almost a complete game! The speed of the game
is incredible. The graphics are great and smooth too. Until now Screamer
Rally was my favorite arcade racer, but this demo on it's own is already
better. Screamers Arizona is a bore compared too Nice 2's Arizona! And NFS 2
SE is ready to be erased from HD: I always had trouble with the speed
feeling (the lack of...) with this game: you can't really race/skid through
corners, you always have to brake a lot, while it already seems you were
riding with the speed of a bike. But in Nice 2 you FEEL you are going too
fast!
So, do yourself a favor and get the big Nice 2 demo now: it's worth it!
I can't wait for the final version: 24 tracks (7 road courses and 17 F1-like
circuits, if I'm not mistaken), arcade and simulation mode, even a shoot'm
up mode! All tracks can de driven in reverse and you get night , fog and

does (that one has 4 tracks and counts the different weather options as
other tracks too, which adds up to 16 or so...), this game will give you
almost 300 different tracks! Yihaa!

Well, I'm off too Arizona again!

That ain't what serious SimRacers want.  Just compere the alpha demo to this
"Nice2" crap. LOL.

IMHO this is bullcrap.  Different weather should count as a "new track".
Racing Arizona in fog or day is the same track.

Normal arcade game, there is many others who are better.

demo you need to smell the stuff your shuvlin :)

Hey, I'll say it...IMO the GPL demo is better than the 20mg NICE  demo.

GPL is all about new physics, advancing the motorsports sim experience.

NICE does nothing new, same old arcade eye candy, yawn...

: If you are trying to say that the GPL demo is better than the 20 mb NICE 2
: demo you need to smell the stuff your shuvlin :)

        The NICE 2 demo is fun (though in arcade terms I'd still rather be
driving the NFS1 model) and I'd really like the idea of upgrading your
racing equipment (like Death Rally or Supercars for the C64).  However, I
doubt I'll be spending hours upon hours on the NICE demo like I do with
the GPL demo.  
        GPL is by far the more satisfying experience.

The Nice demo has a turbo switch. I am using the gp1 wheel, and if I use the
regular
paddle for the throttle, the cars accelerate slower than with the wheel
button for
changing gears upshift is held.
