NFS Most Wanted
For the first time since Porsche Unleashed, I'm really enjoying a Need for Speed game - playing the NFS Most Wanted demo on my PC.
Car handling is arcadey, but "feels" better than the last few installments after Porsche unleashed by far. I use an old Microsoft Sidewinder Precision Pro wheel/pedal combo.
Anyone else having fun bashing through cops and water towers and just generally ripping around this game?
That is all.

enjoyed it on 360, I need it for PC. I agree, it has a certain element that has been missing from the previous games... not sure exactly what it is. I need to play more so I can find out

I'm not sure what the difference is. I think more cars.
Not sure about you guys, but I think the bounty part of the game sucks. it gets boring and you need to do it way too often

I like the game, but I dislike the bounty part. you need to play it way too much. my roomate did about a 25 minute bounty and got 850ish thousand points. you need to do that about 10 times. pretty damn boring, especially since the rest of the game is pretty quick compared to that, so you are doing it pretty often

i think for wreckless driving, you have to do some crazy jumps from buildings or something.
i don't like the way race handicaps are set up. i can run into walls, come to a stop, let them lead by like 10 seconds, and still when. and the computer does the same. i'd be smoking them then he'd catch up out of no where.

I have not baught one car. Winning them is easy. Im pretty sure that the pink slip is not gonna be under the same box twice. It hasnt yet. I have won my cars. So far my most recent car tha ti use is the Porche Cayman S...I love that car.
the AI is a little unfair, but still easy to beat, as long as you dont screw up right before the finish line. The drag racing got kind of annoyin. the car would switch lanes without me telling it to then hit another car...UGH
