Welllllll

The final game has got to be better than the demo...please, make it so.

It has a totally different feel to the last two Underground games (ie, totally uncontrollable). Graphics are more gritty, less shiny (which is good) - and why the fsck can't game developers in this day and age properly implement wide-screen gaming??

Not impressed, EA Games - but the fact it's done by EA should have been a warning in the first place.

Be curious to see Hitokiri's impression of this one.

I guess I gotta download it now. ^_~

I really hope it is a lot better... Though I'm beginning to think EA just don't give a shit about their customers anymore, or rather, did they ever?

I'll give it a go, but I won't be holding my breath. It might however be a pretty good experience. :p

PS. I'm not all about realism, but I'd like to be able to use an element of real life experience in a game.

It's pretty fun, but doesn't feel nearly as impressive as Hot Pursuit did when it was first released. And you're right; it doesn't really feel much like the past two Underground games.

I'll probably buy it for a bit of online play, but yeah, not as blown away as I was hoping for.

Most Wanted has nothing to do with Underground IMO. They chose to keep the doing up of cars because that's how everyone is nowadays. Every game they play, they want to see a doneup car. The Underground series was not NFS as far as I'm concerned... it didn't have the feel of NFS. Most Wanted feels a lot better, the cars slide and takeoff more realistically. The cops reactions are very bs (they'll be going forward one second, then in the blink of an eye they're reversing). The graphics as well are fairly nice, and the NPC cars look SOO much better than their past games (Underground...). The new modes are pretty good, and the online experience is a lot better as well! Still, it's only the demo, I don't know what else to expect, but it's turned out okay.

I guess I say it like that because I was expecting far worse after Underground 2...
