I like Mustangs, Shelbys and Cobras. So which do I buy, Test Drive 5 or Need for Speed III??? And why? I will buy a Diamond Monster voodoo II 3d card when I buy on of these. Thanks, Howard
If you're looking for an arcade racer go for NFS, if you're looking for a sim I'd suggest viper racing. TD is out of the question! // Johan > I like Mustangs, Shelbys and Cobras.

Need >> for Speed III??? And why? I will buy a Diamond Monster voodoo II 3d card when >> I buy on of these. >> Thanks, Howard TD5 is a complete waste. Period. NFS3 is a fun arcader with superior graphics but gets old fast. For my money NFSSE is the best of the NFS series. (I LOVED my Supra!) Viper Racing is a blast in arcade and when you tire of that you slip into Career mode and see what adding upgrades do to your vehicles performance. I'm not a gear head but it is interesting to see how your car can behave differently. For $30 you just can't miss with Viper. Trust me. Wolf

Get Need for Speed 3. There are cars that you can download from web site's for other cars, that are not in the game. I have not seen any Mustangs, Shelby's or Cobra's though. There are older Camaro's though. Stay away from TD5. >I like Mustangs, Shelbys and Cobras. So which do I buy, Test Drive 5 or Need >for Speed III??? And why?

It almost sounded like I wrote that message myself! NFSSE is indeed the best of the series. I found it to be the best sim available at the time. The only difference with your post is that my favorite car in NFSSE was the Viper. How convenient that Viper Racing came out :-). Viper is definatly worth it's money. I haven't tried arcade mode yet, but sim is very good. It has it's flaws, but I definatly found an up to date replacement for NFSSE. And about time too! // Johan
