Hi..
I've heard reviews from various sources stating that NFS2 is not as good as
the first and only received lukewarn scores ??
Why ?

That's fine, but until you can site specific complaints, your opinion won't
hold much credibility with people.

I own the game and i feel that it is much better than the first.
Unfortunately, that isn't saying MUCH since the first one blew for PSX.

I'm sorry to hear about NFS2. The cars are incredible, but it seems the
game can't live up to them. The original NFS was awesome...echoes under
bridges, great road courses, fun cars...
I think most people here are talking about the PC version. For all we
know the Playstation version is great as you say. Maybe that's the
problem with it - they programmed it for the Psx and did a crappy port
to PC.

I didn't think that NFS II was so bad. Then I played Rage Racer. Then
I sold my copy of NFS II to my local video rental store for $20 & counted
myself lucky.

At least the playstation version of NFS2 has codes for extra cars. Is
there a way to get that on the PC version?
