NFS 'High Stakes'?

What do you think about The Need for Speed: 'High Stakes'? Is this basically NFS 4? The graphics look astonishingly real! Can't wait for a demo! Adam

The driving model is much better this year, more of a "sim" than arcade game. The tournament mode is excellent. There are 17 tourneys and special events to enter. Most require certain vehicles. Winning the tourneys opens new special events and vice-versa. There are 12 tracks, including three raceways (not ovals). Alot of the user options have been removed from the PSX version, such as default driving views, rear-view mirrors, vehicle setups, etc. Hopefully they'll fix it for the PC version. -- Yahoo! pager ID=Galley_SimRacer ICQ=29356568 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "Remember the good old 1980's, when things were so uncomplicated?

As a simulator fan, I would probably prefer this one. The reason I didn't buy TNFS 3 is because it was purely an arcade machine. What about damage effects? Adam

The body of the vehicle does not deform, but the texturing changes, so it'll appear damaged. The damage is punitive, however. The car will pull to one side, or the wheel will scrape in a tight turn. You can knock out headlights, as well. The repair bills can be quite painful at times! -- Yahoo! pager ID=Galley_SimRacer ICQ=29356568 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "Remember the good old 1980's, when things were so uncomplicated?

Sounds great.
