Will NFS UG be as terrible as the original?

i played the first one a few weeks ago with my cousin and i have to say i hate that game. only thing i liked was being able to style cars and listen to TI and Lil Jon at the same time. The grafficks sucked, the physics were far from realistic, and i couldnt stand it. i stayed in drift mode or customize mode the whole time cause the 240 and the skyline was looking a bit stupid the way they had it. i built a bunch of nce cars, but ididn't race cause i couldnt tell what the car was doing. i would never know the car turned untill it started loosing grip. it was like driving a car with non-sensitive power steering that delayed understeered to oversteer . very confusing, i could'nt play. i just kept playing driv3r, which is a tight game, by the way, me and my little brother already beat it. it owns vice city.

Thankyou. I agree, not ma fav game at all. I only like drift mode, it's the only playable mode.

The GFX are ok, they actually look good, though. Imo.

I thought the music in the original was among the worst I'd heard. Almost as bad as listening to some soprano screech her lungs out.

Like listening to Andrea Bocelli, only to hear Sarah Brightman ruining a perfectly fine piece of music with her part in it..

I can't believe I spent money on it even though it was at budget price, at least Samantha was a cool chick. But what the heck is wrong with the physics on the PC-version? I use the keyboard and it constantly pulls to the left! Power-on, power-off, braking, doesn't matter it just pulls left constantly, except a few times while at top speed flat out. I tried both a tuned and stock car, including a Peugeot 206 (that I'm so dumb to have convinced my mom to buy for real, what a POS!) and they all pull left.

only mode I liked was drift too, cos it reminded me of the Hovercraft, and everything else was crap, the music i replaced with my own, but I hate rap music anyway, they ahve like one rock track, people bought it, but I know people at school who hate it cos of the cars.

the only good music on their was rap,even all the song on there was old; when i raced i turned he volume off cause rock gives me head aches, all they do is scream and play guitars as loud as possible.

Frank, i think the reason your cars pulled to the left might have been because the controller calibration was off. the physics were crap, but i didnt experience the car pulling to a cetain direction.


24's, cars and clothes, thats how all my partnas roll...............
get low

Have you tried turning in the corners?
Is it possible that it's just torque steer or just the car likes to move around under braking?
