Nice 2: best driving demo up to now!

7 posts by 7 people · 09 May 1998 - 10 May 1998

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! Jeroen van Engelenhoven

Geeze why do they always put up demos with good graphics, sence of speed and nothing else ? :-( That ain't what serious SimRacers want. Just compere the alpha demo to this "Nice2" crap. LOL. >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! 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.

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... Don
: 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. Martin Nigel Mansell RIP!

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. Bob >: If you are trying to say that the GPL demo is better than the 20 mb NICE 2
