I game, therefore I exist. 
Really? I didnt think that game was that good or popular. I played a demo game when at the EB Games store and thought it was just ok… maybe im just not that into car racing games then? I do admit the graphics looked better then in previous versions as well as car handling and rendering…
The news post is about the need for speed franchise in general..
ah yeah that makes more sense
Wow, I did not expect it to sell that well. And I wonder how bored an employee of EA had to be in order to calculate the length of every single copy of each NFS game lined up?
If you like fast cars and racing, I think it’s easier to handle and accept whether it’s all that good or not. I haven’t played it as yet, but it’s one that I hope to play sometime soon.
Who knows… I know that Need For Speed was a big hit when it came out and it probably was one of the better racing games of its time.. but its kind of fizzled out as far as I know. Playstation Magazine gave gave the one of the latest release “Need for Speed: Undercover” a 7/10 .. I ranked it a 5-6/10 of course I played it for 15 minutes only
Truly awesome game. I wish I could afford the cars they have. That BMW M3 is pure sex yoo!
