NFS3 - How is it?

Multiplayer support is not important to me. I would like to know if the cars handle more like their real life counterparts. Do the controls still suck like they did in the first demo (never got the others)? Any other input would be helpful. Thank you Matt

The different cars have different grip/power levels, that's about it. Not quite that bad. But it's still nothing like NFS 1. NFS 3 is an OK diversion while I'm waiting for GPL to be released here, but I don't expect it to last more than a week or two on my hard drive. Another problem is that there's only 2-3 really fun tracks (as has become the norm in the NFS series). Joe

Save your money, it didn't get any better. It just doesn't give a good feeling of the cars. It's worse than NFS2 and way worse than NFS. Johan.

I reckon it's way better than NFS 2, but still not as good as NFS 1. Though Hot Pursuit mode is great, epecially in multiplayer.

I never tried NFS1 but I reckon NFS3 is much better than NF2. The graphics are fantastic - it's pure arcade but if you've got a LAN you can have some great fun. It's the only racing game I know of that is *** tolerant - unless of course those cops get you. Paul
