Full game straight up rocks. DO NOT judge the full game by the demo. The full game runs smooth as a hot knife through butter on my rig x2 3800, 2gb ram, 7800GT ... never a problem. Some have complained that the cars don't handle and I shared their concern playing the demo. I found this after playing the full game ... the steering in the race with the BMW M3 is tuned for the high speed race you're in ... small steering inputs needed to stay fast. But you can tune the steering speed response in the game along with a laundry list of other things. Again, DO NOT judge the full game by the demo. When I played the actual game and tuned my first car, I found the cars handle great. If a car is tuned for drifting it will feel waaaaay different on the track than a grip racing car.

9.5 for me on this one, only because it doesn't have more exotic cars in it and no free roam world. But the game is still fun without them. I'm a huge fan of the whole series and I'm glad that top speed racing is back. That's what NFS was all about up until Underground. The 4 styles of racing: grip, drift, drag, and speed and the huge variety in the tracks really show off the car tuning. BUT you can still have fun in this game and do very little tuning. OR you can go crazy and tweak your car within an inch of its life. Replayability is very high in single player and the multi makes the replayability limitless.

This is the most realistic NFS title yet. Physics system is stunning and tuning your ride nets immediate performance after installing upgrades. You can fully tweak the whole car ? engine, suspension, drivetrain, brakes, and aerodynamics. Don't forget the appearance stuff like wheels, body kits, spoilers, vinyls, decals, etc.

Suspension:
Front Shock Compression Rate
Rear Shock Compression Rate
Front Shock Rebound Rate
Rear Shock Rebound Rate
Front Spring Rate
Rear Spring Rate
Ride Height
Front Roll Bar Stiffness
Rear Roll Bar Stiffness
Front Tire Pressure
Rear Tire Pressure
Toe
Camber
Caster
Streering response ratio

Engine:
Cam Timing
Start Boost
End Boost
Nitrous Pressure
Nitrous Jetting flow Rate

Drivetrain:
ratio for all gears

Damage is impressive when the detail is all the way up ? parts flying off (including hood and doors), glass shattering, body panels mangled in all sorts of interesting ways. Anyone who enjoys driving games will like this game if they don't come in biased against the series. Even then the fun will win you over.

Oh and Xbox360 controller works great with this game on PC. Car feel like lead?
1. Learn to drive and brake properly and you won't plow off the turn into the wall :laugh:
2. After learning to drive, tune your car if it doesn't fit your driving style. I've had an Evo that I bought at the beginning of the game and by tuning it and buying upgrades I'm still using it for Grip races. It doesn't take much to see a performance improvement.

Edit: another reason your car might not feel right is you haven't turned off the available driving assists. Get off Casual Racer setting and crank it up to King and you can make your car dance.
