N3 Internet Play... Doesn't sound good :-(

I just read a review of N3 multiplayer via internet... unfortunately it
sound like we may have very choppy/warped play.  Please note that
reviewer was using 56k modem and only tried racing with one other
person... not a great sample to base conclusions on... but it is
dissapointing.  Otherwise, it sound good for singleplayer.

I hope his findings are inconclusive.  You can see it at

I'll wait and see what others find once released.

I haven't completed my review of the final version yet, but my experience
with the multiplayer over the Internet is much better than Jeff's. I also
only have a 56k, but didn't witness anything like what he describes- I'll
let you know when the review is done and published.

Good to hear Scott!  I was hoping that the "Operation Sports" experience
was not representative.  I look forward to your review.

Thanks,

According to the manual, the Server Side requires 24k of bandwidth for
_each_ car in the race.
