I might have to get this...I'm not a big fan of racing games though. I like Gran Turismo 3 back in the day...

I don't believe Need for Speed is very comparable to GT 3.
May pick this up though.

Weren't reviews on this pretty poor?
I still cherish the memories of NFS: Hot Pursuit 2 on PS2. NFS:Most Wanted captured some of the magic, but it got insanely difficult in spots. Any advice from NFS junkies? I haven't tried Carbon, Pro Street, or Undercover.

The last Need for Speed game that was any decent was the initial one. Loved it back on my Pentium 100mhz with sweet ass 2X CD-ROM
Ahhh Windows 95 and DirectX 2, how I don't miss you.

Carbon is good, for its time it had/has some beautiful cutscenes. Good game altogether, but Prostreet isn't good at all IMO. However $10 then again is a great deal.

I played through Prostreet on 360 and I'd say it is worth $10 - however be aware that this one is much more sim like than most Need for Speeds. It is NOT an arcade racer.

This is arguably the worst Need for Speed. It's not truly a bad game by any means, but it's really not what you'd expect from a NFS game and anybody looking for a sim racer would be far better off with Gran Turismo or Forza Motorsport.

The lack of demand for this game better not stop them from doing another game sale on Wednesday. With that said, I have Burnout Paradise with large free updates. I'll pass on this.

After reading a few reviews, ill pass. Ive enjoyed some of the past NFS games, but this one doesnt seem much like them. I do hope they have something better on Wed.

Glad the deals are still going on but no thanks. I never got around to trying this but I heard lots of people were not to high on it. Hopefully alot of people will buy it though and clean them out so they keep offering closeouts.

I'd say worst Need For Speed of this gen definitely. Ain't nothing topping Porsche Unleashed though, that is HALL OF FAME bad.

Rumor has it that they're shelving NFS games for the time being... so who knows?
I really need to control my games spending, so I'm gonna pass. I hope they keep doing this for a few more days though, they've had some great stuff so far.

Thanks for that info. I guess I'll pass on it now since I prefer the arcade reacers.
They need to come back with the old school need for speed.
Porsche, Lamborghini, Ferrari, BMW, all exotic cars available right outta the box, racing against each other on open roads with traffic and cops.
All this modding and parts stuff is crap, that's not need for speed.
Might as well put out a Halo game that's not a FPS... umm.. ok bad analogy.

EA is going to kill off NFS, either that or Criterion is going to make the next one.
These arent deals, this was 9.99 for the past 2 months.

Wow, PS3 version sold out. They must have had a low stock to begin with, because this game isn't very good. Looks like almost no one from CAG got in on this "deal," which is good. A bad game for a good price is still a bad game ;)

Just got my UT3 from Gamefly in today. Expect about 50% delay on your stuff arriving since the mail system is bogged from the holiday.
Skipping on this one. I love NFS, but didn't like this Gran Turismo knockoff.

Is there a source for that? I find it hard to believe they'd get rid of one of their best selling franchises. NFS has to be up there with Madden as far as videogame brand name recognition.
Having a new developer take over might not be such a bad idea though.

Good question.
I know Cheapy said a few days ago that the sales might be at an end; hope there's a couple more left; just got my latest $5 coupon today. :)

There hasn't really been a good NFS since Hot Pursuit or Porsche Unleashed. Most Wanted wasn't bad, Carbon was worse, Prostreet is horrid (yes I own it), and I'm worried to get Undercover.

GRID works awesome with the wheel. The game lets you adjust the force feedback right in the pause menu too. Even if you didn't use the wheel on this game, I consider it to be the best racing game on the 360. Look up some reviews on it.

I haven't used the wheel on it, but it is a really good racing game. To me though... it's no Forza.

I have played all the NFS titles, Prostreet was not fun to play at all, The cars felt like bricks and wouldn't turn even with upgrades. It went from one extreme as the arcade model to now trying to be a simulation and just doesn't work. It does not even simulate real driving, unless you drive with a single cylinder motor without power steering and have hard plastic or stainless steel tires on your ride. I just got the new Undercover, and have to say it is now my favorite. It is similar to Most Wanted, but with updated graphics, a decent storyline, new types of races, and a better upgrade system. It is a little slow at first like most games when you first start out, but as you play it does get addicting and is hard for me to put the controller down to go to bed. The open world is much larger now, and its been awhile since I played burnout-paradise city, but I think Undercover is larger. Both are fun games.

Speaking of new deals, it would appear that Top Spin 3 had dropped to $14.99. I don't know if this is new, but I just noticed it and got one since I've been waiting for this to drop in a long while. :razz:
