NFS underground

SILVERBACK · 01-12-2003, 1:04 AM

should be called NFS unfinished,its an absolute disgrace as a racing game,not good enough to take on the burnout2 speed and unadulterated fun crown and defo not good enough to go for the gotham simulation crown.i havent seen a racing game as unfinished or poor as this since the last ridge racer attempt lol.ABSOLUTE DISGRACE PLEASE DONT BELIEVE THE ADVERT ITS A SHAM OR SHOULD ISAY SCAM LOL.stick with burnout or gotham

Are you sure you're playing NFS Underground????

I have found it completely amazing, although it is far too easy, even on hard mode. Online play is also a lot of fun.

Which platform do you have it on? I have the PC version, and i love it

ChrisNic · 01-12-2003, 9:33 AM

Im really impressed with it too, and im finding it quite hard!!!?!?! Thats on the xbox.

SILVERBACK · 01-12-2003, 12:52 PM

xbox version mate the handling is atrocious on it lol and the graphics

just looks an handles like a dog

Miyazaki · 01-12-2003, 1:05 PM

I think the graphics are really good.

But i am playing it at 1280x1024 with all the options set to high.

I can't comment on the Xbox version, but i assume as it is an EA game there is no online play, which is the best part of it for me.

New glasses possibly?

SILVERBACK · 01-12-2003, 2:19 PM

if your impressed with this you must get waves of orgasms after playing gotham or burnout2 lol.also it seems to be pretty jerky in some scenes on the xbox,anyone else noticed this on the first track and the first race?

SILVERBACK · 01-12-2003, 2:22 PM

you cant be serious lol you actually think the graphics are good ? on the xbox version cant comment on the pc.

james.miller · 01-12-2003, 2:59 PM

you cant comment on the pc version? that's no problem

here's a few pics:

i think the're amazing on the pc.

SILVERBACK · 01-12-2003, 3:06 PM

yeah thanks for the fmv shots

the ingame graphics on the pc do look better than the xbox though by the looks of the last pic.still a poor attempt at burnout2 though

SILVERBACK · 01-12-2003, 3:11 PM

just had another look at my box version and it looks knack all like that mate lmao

james.miller · 01-12-2003, 3:14 PM

fmv lol. you joker

thats the in game engine - it's all real

i had a feeling the pc version would look better, but the xbox version shouldnt be much worse....should it?

SILVERBACK · 01-12-2003, 3:16 PM

obviously yeah lol it looks much worse i would like to point out the effects on the cars are absolutely sublime in 5.1 though.

ChrisNic · 01-12-2003, 4:58 PM

Well thats it I must need an eyetest. Those pc screenshots do look good but they arent night and day better than the xbox, I guess its probably down to resolution. It does get a bit jerky in places on the xbox but I dont see where your coming from SILVERBACK. Everyone is welcome to their own opinion I suppose.

SILVERBACK · 01-12-2003, 10:46 PM

i`ll tell you where im coming,from i just completed an entire lap without touching the break ONCE and didnt clip anything.and look who needs the glasses now

lmao.an i cant believe this game has slow down

i stand by my first post,unfinished an very very poor racing experience.sounds really nice though my review is based on the xbox version

i'm with SILVERBACK on this one, its a pityful game. about time EA hung up its driving gloves. played along PGR2 and Burnout 2 its really bad. I agree that the PC shots posted above look fab (but hey i bet the graphics card in that PC cost more than my XBOX?) - but fab graphics do not a good game make.

Just a thought from a fan of racing games.

The best handling and most enjoyable NFS so far is the very first one on PC. The rest have all been far less realistic in their handling and the courses have sucked.

As an other point, generally I find PC racers seem to play better than consoles, they just seem a little less Arcady!? in their play.

As has been posted, with Burnout 2 such a laugh, and PGR2 for realism, why bother with another NFS?

Have'nt picked up underground yet, but am expecting it to be usually EA hype so will rent it and confirm. Which is a shame, cos I love other EA sports games. (Tiger, Football, SSX3etc.)

SILVERBACK · 02-12-2003, 2:23 PM

james.miller · 02-12-2003, 8:35 PM
