so far i liked much better than juiced, and since juiced might never see daylight no need to compare to it anymore.

you can race on various contents for respect and money, you can race at day and night time, various towns. once you finish your first race, game places you in a town. you can drive to your garage for first upgrade, or go to the race. you can click button and get there instantly or you can drive by yourself through the town. driving around the town is not useles. *cough* cops *cough*. another features which i liked alot when driving around town is that if you see another racer you can blink lights and race him Smile

the only cons so far are crappy soundrack and that game is choppy at times.

what about the sense of speed which is a big drawback as stated in the ign review ?

Make sure your xbox is set to NTSC - I'm almost certain the moves are encoded for NTSC only

How do I do that? Couldn't find any option conserning NTSC from xbox dashboard or avalaunch. Xboxdash only had an option to enable PAL-60 and Avalaunch didn't have any screen settings.

better than juiced for sure,some nice aspects to the game like driving to the meetings and rival race's on the way (N4SU2 style).

speed wise,its not no N4SU thats for sure,maybe that'll ruin it in the end and make people give up as thats what all this 2F2F game type is all about with the nitro's ect.

IMHO juiced and this will be no match for NFSU2 but are games that didn't quiet get there but have enough interest for a view Burnouts then will be forgotten

Talking about Burnout - gotta give Burnout 3 Takedown a test drive now

byfar the worst racing game of the lot released this week, damn the game is so fucking bad, NFSU look s like GOTY material, the streets are horribly lighted like a strip bar, cars handle like gliders and there is no feel of speed, come to think of it, Juiced is a much more mature attempt at street racing than this budget pile of crap. strike one for namco

I wouldn't say that about SRS but you're right about Juiced.... hopefully a final version will show up sooner or later.

i really was let down with this one. controls blow gfx are ok and no honda's?????

i think nfs underground started this tuner car racing trend for game and seem all other mock it.. camera views suck. and the loading it isannoying and long for me

nfs:u will remain on top for me till nfs:u2 is out. anything else is a copycat with bad development..!!

but i will prolly play it over juiced to tie me over for undergrond2.

it is defently worth they dl and try!!!

i gotta say this is the worst crap since nfsu!

nfsu didnt have anything near realistic feeling (wonder what that pedal in the middle does.. :rolleyes: )
and realy did lack the sence of speed, imho juiced is better in that sense,
u feel the speed, u gotta brake sometimes (well atleast let off the gas, and use the brake to turn in..)

in this game u gas , u gas u turn still flooring it bump into a wall , still revving max and it feels like ur out on a sunday cruse..

and they realy messed up the system to buy parts.. what a letdown,

played three races and thats it for me, tobad i wasted a dvd-r on it..

juiced is atleast good enought to play and burnout 3 is also alot of brainless fun... (atleast the crash part..)

looks like i have to wait for GTR on the puter.. there were talkin some realism atleast not some "i got my thumb in the middle of the hand and cant control a car, so i have to make a game that i dont need to control the car in so i just turn and press the gas..."-crap

now im not sure if im pissed off or releaved... i atleast dont need to wait for a game i have waited for over a year.. to let me down with being 110% crap!

maybe should write a few reviews.. Very Happy

Urgh! What a horrible game...sluggish and unresponsive controls. The car handles like a old woman is driving it.

I need a shower, I feel unclean.

Only ONE bodykit per car? How the f*ck do they think?? Afaik, you want a car that stands out, or atleast doesn´t look exactly like all other cars, in streetracing/shows. And on top of that, you have to buy the whole kit in one package! What game is that limited? the racing could be better, i know, but i think it´s much more fun than Juiced....that game was way to arcade for me...

Oh and about NFSU2, sure it will be beter as a game, but as far as car realism goes...i mean look at the screenshots, those bodykits look more extreme than a stealth jet...no fun i think....

SiN : juiced sure was arcade, but it was a good mix of arcade and a LITTLE (not much Wink) simulation...

in SRS i didnt need to use the brake once?! (on 3 races..) just give gas.. and more gas...

in juiced u atleast had a nice speedfeeling, and even thou it didnt go quite as fast as in real life at like ~240km/h it sure did keep me entertained... srs was the worst crap this racing year thats for sure...

about NFSU2 we all have to wait and see.. just hope they fix the damn AI, they got same problem as juiced.. the AI dont use alternative paths just ram on like a steamtrain...

btw juiced's "nitrous drift" was a fun thing i foundout.. also a good lifesaver.. =)

i had a little sample of this game, played it for 20 minutes and thought it was crap, i went back to it and kept playing it and its actually an alright game. The handling isnt great, and i feel thats its major let down. Also i think that the menus are shit especially when upgrading parts on your car. A lot of good things on the game though, eg: you can choose a number of different models of cars for one manufacturer, and the graphics are okay. Its good how you can ride round the city and get police on you and stuff. Shame i havent yet come across a Ford Focus on it though Sad

Its hard to say which is better between this and juiced, both have their positives and negatives. I think these will fill the time between Need For Speed Underground2. The first one was okay, but I thought the game played much better on the PC than it did on the Xbox.

I would give this game 7 out of 10 from what ive played of it so far.
