the upgrade system isn't what it seems to be, cause every part has 3 upgrades so that in the end you will see people driving the same cars just in different colors (all cars maxed out).
so much for costumazing the way you want...

very true... only night tracks and the roads look "wet" and are very reflective.. .looks kinda gay if you ask me.. but it is an ok game... download the "demo" and check it out..
that is very true that eventually everyone will have the same maxed out car.. but i think that was a given.. would be hard to incorporate a mix of different upgrades and their various impacts on performance...

true that. don't know if they implemented it, but when somebody maxes out his car, does he have different options of let's say level-3 body-kit or is there only one level-3 body-kit?

just my 2 cents, if they would have like 10 different styles of level-3 body-kits for the same car-modell costumazing would be a matter of individual taste. (but as said, i'm just asuming that there is only one level 3 body-kit for each car. can anybody confirm or contradict this?)

yeah i played the demo, but as many others i was dissapointed of the fastnfurious/2fast2furious game-layout. that per se wouldn't be the ultimate evil, but the driving-physics left me very dissapointed. (...and i don't like nitro-stuff in a game)

EDIT GPL was the proof for me that i suck at die-hard simulations... :frown: stuff like nascar, cmr and gp4 are ok, but GPL killed me :beer:

I think that there are multiple level 3 upgrades.. i'm only on like level 1.. haven't had too much time to play it but there are multiple level 1 upgrades so i assume multiple level 3 upgrades.. so there is rume for some originality...

why not try the "unofficial demo" and see if you like it.

hehe, maybe i'll try it out. but at the moment i'm downloading other "demos" :beer:

there are multiple level 3 upgrades. The multiple performance upgrades are stupid because you can't see the upgrades and they all do the exact same thing. They also have multiple level 3 visual upgrades, but I like some of the level 2 ones better, only I can't use those unless I want ot take a hit in the reputation department.

Finally got past an insane circuit track after like 20 attempts, i'm on 98/111 now =/

so what is the point of doing the underground part?? so you can unlock the cars and upgrades for multi player?

i second the annoying placement of traffic. they are place at every turn at the exact moment you're entering or exiting a turn. sure you can probably dodge them at 50mph but try doing a quick manuver at 150mph. mostly likely you'll go into a unrecoverable spin and flip 10 times. or you can just take the other car head on and waste those precious seconds.

and for the people calling it rice, yeah i do agree with you but it's not like you're required to put on body kits, neons, stickers or a big a$$ wing. there's nothing wrong with just doing performance upgrades and maybe some better wheels which i'm doing.

It's not so bad if you actually use the brakes once in a while. It's better than nailing something accidentally and coming to a complete stop from 120mph.

i actually played for a good 45min - 60mins just now.. it's actually much better than my first impressions..
i "tweaked" the grafix.. like tuned down the reflective roads which was kinda annoying .. cranked up the AA and AF and it's acutally pretty fun...

I really like this game. Alot better than HP2.

Well, I just got the game. All I can say is that it is definitely worth it!! This game rocks!
