downloading now :up:

downloaded, installed. it gets to the point where its loading the race then locks up. I uninstalled/reinstalled and same thing. looks neat from the vids though lol

Runs flawlessly on my machine - big change from the mainstream NFS series - real damage (at last) and a lot inspired by (read blatently stolen from) Forza - feels almost the same to play - the old NFS staples of tapping the handbrake and flying around corners via the wall are LONG gone - try that now and you'll end up in a heap with a very (headache inducing) blurry screen - yeah - I said blurry - it's actually a nice touch - I'm assuming it's supposed to simulate your driver being stunned by the impact - the harder you hit, the longer the blurring seems to last... I like it as a driving game, real nice graphics, smooth, and it's a healthy dose of realism, as an addition to the NFS portfolio, it fails utterly - it's way too realistic coming from a genre where the main point was sheer lunatic fun lol

I had a problem where it wouldn't play unless I used the exe in the root folder...... I dunno why. lol

[slaveofconvention]

Actually, yeah, I have no start menu entry lol - but that happens a lot for some reason - had to manually link a desktop shortcut to it

[BuzzKillington]

I did that too but the shortcut would just open a black screen.
