Default Need for Speed Underground

Has anyone checked out this game?

You can get the demo (It's like 220 megs) at:
http://www.eagames.com/official/nfs/...nd/us/home.jsp

I just tried it out, and I must say it's pretty sweet. Graphics are nice, physics are more arcadey than say... Gran Turismo 3 or something, but still very nice and fun to play.

Methinks this might even be something worth getting a racing wheel for. Mmmmmm... Racing wheels.

Yeah, check that sh*t out.

wow.....just wow..... the speed engine is unlike i've ever seen before, it makes it seem like your actually going fast when its at say 90mph....while in other games it seems still slow.....and the detail looks great...too bad my comp won't run it

And I just tried out "Drag" mode and damn, is it ever nice. The sense of speed is very cool. It's just like the drag race scenes in the Fast and the Furious or something. Totally awsome. I swear, with more cars and stuff (the demo only has 1 car with a few diff. paint jobs) I could play "Drag" mode for hours by itself.

Wicked fun.

Since it sounds like the demo is pretty fun, I'll have to get ominub to download it so I can try it out

i don't like drag mode...cause it switches lanes for you once you press a direction, what i mean is you don't directly control your car, but if you press left for example, it'll change 1 lane to the left, and it will straiten the car out for you...so you dont have 100% control over it


havent tried the other mode yet...meh, try it later today...
