Some reason or the other, I just can’t stop myself from playing the game… And its not just me… Lately I have wasted at times 4-10hrs straight, just playing the game…. Just over the weekend my mate and I was playing U2 for 10hrs… This is on a Saturday… My mate came over at 1PM and we were playing till 11pm…. And to show for that we only gained something like 4 or 6% in the game…

Just today I played the game for about 4 ½ hrs…. I think I need to get a life? Lol

Anyone else putting in marathon time trying to finish the game…

That's nothing mate. I've done 24 hours on PU before. ;)
Must be a really exciting game for you. I've still only played mine for a short while so far. Had to play rFactor last night with [SK]Mazkx.

my miata is getting up there... 306 hp and 190 mph top speed. I'm at around 30 percent done (doing it the right way this time) but I think I missed a magazine cover in the beginning, something called bayview magazine? or something... but I've done the rest. I have 40 thousand dollars too, since I never bought another car yet... waiting for the mustang GT to get in inventory.

Heh, Well you may like The Boss and bon jovi, I never really liked them.... And that became more obvious with the recent election....

lets see... i wake up 6:30 in the morning, go to school, come back at 3 p.m., start playing NFSU2, stop playing around 12-1 a.m. this has been my routine for the past week and a half since i got the game. i'm on stage 5, 50-55% complete, all DVD covers and 16 mag covers. 10.0 rep and like 50k on cash

ive been putting in an hour or 2 at a time, I'm only 4% through tho

It seems to take quite some time to progress, It will be interesting to see how long the game lasts before people get bored, its not one of those games you could easily beat in a weekend but its not exactly one that offers new cars in a short time frame to keep the interest there :eek:

Avoid the SUV's. And the Hyundai Tiburon as well.

Wait for the Toyota Celica to become available, it is quite fast.

Is it the Street X with that Lexus IS300 in it? That is a tough one to beat. You have to play dirty, and spin the AI cars out. That's what I did.

Just as well NFS:UG2 doesn't have any damage, or you wouldn't be able to do that.

However, you might also benefit from 3 computer cars sliding into the wall at the same time. ;) I've seen them do that, while I just held back, let them take each other out and then waltzed pass.. ;)

Actually the trick in Street X is:

A: A Head Start
B: Cornering Well…

That’s it… And you should be fine…

Btw you should stay with the Peugeot Until the Celica comes along… The IS300 is bad at handling…
