NEED FOR SPEED HAH HAH HAH!!!

The NEED FOR SPEED? HAH HAH! Any one out there have Nascar and thinking about purchasing NEED FOR SPEED, don't. I bought it today, $55, and feel its a bit fantasy. Theres no Nascars or even Indycars. Just Corvettes and stuff. Its a FAKE! Its not a simulation, it another Arcade game where all you can enjoy is the crash!! Get this-Cars, pickups, and trucks race against each other-on mountains!!! Its a no-buy. I'd rather buy the Nascar game I have again rather than this!!!

writes: I'm sure you bought NFS without looking on the back of the box to see what kind of game it was. Get real. NFS is a GREAT sim. It uses lots of Road & Track's car stats to accurately re-create each car's performance. And, I don't see any flips or skid-marks in NASCAR OR Indycar... ps. There are no pickups or trucks in NFS.

SOMEONE WROTE: And, I don't see any flips or skid-marks in NASCAR OR Of course you don't see skid marks or flips in Indy Car or Nascar- THESE ARE TRUES SIMS!! The only reason you see these things in NEED FOR SPEED is because thats the whole game-crahing and hitting things Its not a REAL sim.

I think thats why EA called it "Need for Speed" not "Nascar wannabe". ICR & NASCAR fill a need, Need for Speed fills another. I enjoy ICR, but am having a blast racing on city streets, passing, dodging oncoming traffic, and outrunning cops. I disagree with your statement "all you can do is enjoy the crash", the crashes are cool (And flips are there, unlike nascar/icr) I've checked out Nascar, it was not for me, NFS is a fast paced, fun filled game. Take care- Bill

I think he is talking about the traffic in the city/alpine roads, you know those blue/white chev pickups? BTW- I agree- its a blast! Bill

Bill NFS IS a blast....more fun than ICR or NASCAR because of several reasons: More realistic scenery Takes more reflexes and a faster reaction time to play You're not just going in circles You're dealing with traffic that is 1/3 and sometimes 1/4 your speed You're racing in situations and roads not designed for racing Graphics are faster and smoother than NASCAR/ICR You have more cars to choose from instead of an "all-in-one" (Nascar cars NEITHER look like a Pontiac, Chevy or Thunderbird they supposedly represent) If you like the demo of NFS, you'll love the game. If you hated the demo of NFS, don't buy it...end of story, end of argument. SC

>The NEED FOR SPEED? HAH HAH! Any one out there have Nascar and thinking <loads of nonsense deleted> Well, Being that they are two different types of driving sims, I wouldn't compare them. I have had Nascar for about a half year now, and enjoy it. I just got the demo for NFS and except for not getting it to work properly with my T1 (the pedal calibration didn't work right), It is a great DRIVING sim. Reminds me of the old days with Test Drive, which this seems to be a next generation of. And I don't know where he bought it, but it goes for less than $55. I'm already looking to get it and I do recommend it. Later. -Mark

Did you read the box before you bought the game? Of course it doesn't have Nascars, and Indycars etc. And it's not supposed to be a sim, it is more of an arcade game. I bought it and it is well worth the money. It's very well done. You have to play it having in mind that it's not a perfect sim and that it's just alot of fun. Which I find it is. Me and a friend play Nascar all the time and like both of them. Anyway it is a totally different game compared to Nascar. I think it is nice to have an alternative to play sometimes. Not everyone likes to fiddle with car settings all the time. Some people just like to go out and drive, which this game is great for. Anyway my 2 cents. Jay

I am a real lover of race sims such as World Circuit and Nascar Racing. When I show some of my friends These great programs I sometimes get the big yawn. BUT when I then let them run NFS they can't get enough. I like it to, when I just want to relax and not work so damn hard. By the way, NFS works real nice with a T1 with the adapter mentioned earlier. NFS is what TEST DRIVE and CAR AND DRIVER were suppose to be !!! Mondo

yeah the subject should read "Car and Driver HAH HAH HAH!!" Test drive 3 was way better than C&D, I think.. As if a Porsche 956 that makes over 1g of downforce can get airborne.. Oh, do the cops in NFS ever chase the computer opponent? Havent seen it happen.

May I add that as a Nascar fan I found NFS to be an excellent game, well worth EVERY CENT of the $55 paid for it. Nascar aims to be a simulator, and achieves that brilliantly NFS aims to be a fun ddriving game and achieves that brilliantly Two different products each doing their thing superbly Really makes me wonder what confuses people so much M Chuck : The NEED FOR SPEED? HAH HAH! Any one out there have Nascar and thinking : about purchasing NEED FOR SPEED, don't. I bought it today, $55, and feel : its a bit fantasy. Theres no Nascars or even Indycars. Just Corvettes and : stuff. Its a FAKE! Its not a simulation, it another Arcade game where all : you can enjoy is the crash!! Get this-Cars, pickups, and trucks race : against each other-on mountains!!! Its a no-buy. I'd rather buy the Nascar : game I have again rather than this!!!

Adapter? What Adapter?

>> By the way, NFS works real nice with a T1 with the adapter >>mentioned earlier. >> Mondo >Adapter? What Adapter? There is an adaptor that ships with the newer version of the T1,which puts the pedals on the same port as the steering wheel. I have the older version which didn't come with the adaptor, so I e-mailed Thrustmaster and got mine in the mail after about 4 days for free. Hope this helps !!! J.D.
