When they say free roaming city do they mean some sort of GTA thing where you drive around to get jobs? If so then cool.

Kinda. Basicaly there are no set routes, imagine a race from A to B and u can get there anyway you please. They have stolen another idea from the same company though, they are rippin off MIDNIGHT CLUB II. NFSU looked fantastic. But the game play was pretty boring and mundane, the learning curve was pathetic. Midnight Club II was overall a much better game, Rockstar concerntrated on gameplay rather than the glossy end, where as EA are always the other way around. There obviously stealing ideas from it.....The Free roaming can work really well, but at times can be very messy, but if Canada get it right, compiled with NFSU visuals it will be wicked.

Young pups Please dont start with NFSU was a brilliant game , because it wasnt, it was the usual EA Half ASS attempt a great game. EA seem to do it with every big game they release, the 1st half of the game is always brilliant and then its ruined by an appauling finish. Take LOTR ROTK, this game was amazing and without doubt one of my favourite games and one of the most replayable games i have ever seen, Amazing Visuals, Movie quality voice overs and visuals, outstanding gameplay and and incredible learning curve, UNTIL........................3/4 into the game (just after the valley with the elephants) then after the game turns to shit, the story turns to shit, i mean whats with that shitty end. I know that the game is based on a movie that based on a book that limits the game to certain boundaries, but that means this > JACK. Early in the game they turned the crap Movie/Book storyline into some great levels. MY POINT IS EA CANT FINISH A GAME AND THIS APPLIES TO ALL THERE DIVISIONS. I dont know if its some kind of deadline/time problem.....But they do it with every game they release.

IMO the best game EA have ever rlsed (this does not include any lives) is MOD AA, becuase somebody actualy took the time to finish it properly!

Hope they do much better this time..

*sigh* It's as if they are obligated to do much better.

You folks should learn to appreciate. Seriously, if you dont like it, dont play it. No one is forcing you to. You all would rather whine like sissy little girls but it's folks like you that have turned the gaming industry into a monopoly for EA. If you would complain less and buy less we wouldnt have the problem hence you would complain less. Does that go into your thick skulls? No, we'll buy the game, whine about it, wait for it to release next year and repeat the same process again.

Eh, stop buying? No one's forcing?

I, for one, enjoyed the game mucho. To each their own I guess.

I liked the first game quite much. Though I have to say that the levels where all to much alike

[hmm]

[Hotshot]

i'll get it if it's half as good as the first game.
thanks for the info jackal

[point-guard]

i wish they have the cockpit view..or what is it called..u know the view where the starting video the girl press the nitro to fly off the bridge?

[Jackal]

Homer:

I don't know if that's the point, it could be it's just for style like some of the parts in the first part.

Hotshot:

It'll probably be better, from what I got out of it, it's basically the same game with stuff added onto it. Free-roaming the cities, new stuff like sound systems, doors that open upwards, not sideways...and most probably new cars.

Number14:

I don't think the In-Car view will make a come back that soon, alot of manufactures don't appreciate the interiours being shown in the game. Don't ask me why, there was an article about it some time back.

It's the same with damage, if I'm not mistaken...Need For Speed 3: Hot Pursuit was the last of the NFS to have damage, after that manufacturers asked for this feature to be taken out, they felt it was demoting their cars. (Silly guys...tch)

Oh, I'm talking about visual damage ofcourse.
