If ever there was a racing game that screamed "I'M A CONSOLE PORT" its this piece of crap. I checked three times to be sure I had it in simulation mode. The <cough cough> physics of the game do give Mario Cart a good run for the money, but thats about it. Seems that the turn rate of your car is inversly proportional to the speed of your car, and thats about the extent of it. At 130+ MPH you can yank your controller left and right with no fear of losing controll, and as with all cheap console racers, you are artificially restrained from travelling more than 2 feet off of the pre defined path. even when there is a clear path you get that invisable wall thing. There is also NO SUPPORT for using a throttle (be it on a joystick or in peddals). I personally dont find NFS very challenging, but it models car handling a factor of ten times better that TD5, and it was fun. Thank god it only took me 50 seconds to download. I feel sorry for poor souls who spend hours downloading the ***demo. -- *** Support open DVD *** No phone line connection No charge for additional viewings No records of what you watch Cheaper to rent Cheaper to own DIVX: Watching you watch movies DIVX: You watch it, it watches you DIVX: Its hard to beleive it, but Bill Gates has nothing to do with it!
