Looks good, a mate wants me to get it for him so i'll end up playing it no doubt. Been a good run of decent-ish games recently hopfully this will continue the trend.

wow, the demo did not impress me at all. AT ALL. i played 1280x1024 at max details and i hovered high 20s to mid 30s fps (same as NFSU2 so no biggie). performance wise, it performs the same. but the controls are ass, and so is the GUI. the steering control is fudgy and the shifting/rev limits arent as smooth feeling as NFSU2.

but excusing the crapass controls that make even gentle turns difficult and police escapes very frustrating, the graphics suck. the whole game looks like one of those flashbacks from Boy Meets World. everything reminds me of what the world looks like when im drunk, really blurry and slow (especially when HDR shows up).

from the demo, this isnt worth a purchase it at all. i wouldn't even pirate this game, that's how much it turned me off. in trying to make "leet" new graphics..they really downgraded. sometimes, simple = better. try to tell EA that.

I feel the same, the game was crap.

I feel EXACTLY the same way about CoD 2. I won't even waste my time downloading that either. Nevertheless I've downloaded it and have yet to give it a try, so I'll comment when I do.

Don't neccessarily choose your nearest location. Try Netherlands, UK or even Germany. GamersHell have some of the fastest servers around. They put the likes of fileplanet and co to shame.

Well the only cool part of the Underground franchise is the customization parts. The story is extreamly linear, and its the same thing over and over again. Race, Circuit, Drag, Drift..ect. What we need is GTA mixed with NFS:U, that would be cool.
