There's also Lancer Evolution IX GSR, IX RS, IX MR. I hope they put the Evo VIII MR thought. It's a beautiful car.

I was a bit too far ahead of myself there. I've heard of the Evo 10 being released soon in Japan or maybe the 9.5 IDK. Anyway, you're a bit too far behind, we're up to the EVO 9.

I'm going back to NFS:U2. This was the best out of all. I remember having my RX-7 tuned perfect for each mode. Drift, Drag, Sprint, Circut/Lap Knockout.

I never really got online in NFS:U2 or NFS:U for that matter. I dont know why? The best cars were the RX-7, 350z, Skyline and the Evo. As long as they have the RX-7 in NFS:C I'll give it a go. It still sounds pretty dissapointing though.

I'm not behind. It's the EVO 8 in both Most Wanted and Underground 2.

The demo for this is available for download on the 360 as of yesterday.

I'll try it out today. Its a 1 gig download size.

------------

EDIT AFTER PLAYING : This may just be the best NFS game ever. In the past, I have never really liked the whole NFS series. The stiff handling and technical aspects of this game would usually turn me off within a few hours.

They have totally redone this game in CARBON. The controls and handling are PERFECT !! I would say its a cross between "Burnout" & old versions of "Ridge Racer". The problem with the last "Burnout" was that it was too fast. CARBON is a tad slower. But man.... The controls and handling are so perfect. Quite possibly the best racing game I have ever played. I didnt think much about this game after reading Gamespot's preview a few days ago. Looks like I wont be reading their site much anymore..After screwing up the preview on this game and of "Ultimate Ghosts & Goblins" on the PSP, they shouldnt be allowed to review games.

The graphics and fluid frame-rate in this game are flawless aswell. At the start of the race, you are side-by-side with 7 other cars.. When your racing by them, the cars remain extremely detailed and no framerate lag at all. Everything is very fluid.

If ever NFS needed a breakthrough game. I think this is it. They seemed to learn (and take) alot from "Burnout". But it worked and should only benefit them.

Once again this is for the 360. So im not sure how it will be on the PS2/3.

Libertine ive been waiting for someone to post something on the demo cuz im waiting for ps3 but that a different flame war thread :/ but anyways glad to see its working good and as for the "lack of customization" i dont care really you can customize cars good in it just not as much as nfs:u2 maybe a dissapointment but when it comes down to the game its about racing and driving cars you dream of owning etc. so i dont see it as a dissapointment just a 'meer fun factor' not there.

one thing we do need tho is a large rims selection cuz i like the black 2 piece wheels with the chrome bolts on it for my green lamborghini murcielago, z06, porsche gt but i will do cuz the only thing you guys will be seeing is my tailights sooo... lol

So... Anyone have the game yet? It already release on PS2.

[Conflicted]

My brother bought it, and I've yet to play it.

Once again, you total your car in the starting.....and get a selection between an RX-8/Older Camaro, I believe/and an AUDI.

I may go start a game, or just play it in a second.
Some challenge mode has you driving a dump truck to somewhere, while being chased by the cops.....glanced that on the television once.

[Marvin Wong]

I got it. The graphics are the same as Most Wanted. It's a solid racing game. I like it. I chose the Mazda RX-8 as a starter car. Here's some pictures I took.





Hope you guys enjoy my pictures .

I started with the 8 as well.

About to buy an Eclipse though.

Drifting is a little weak though....doesn't take too much effort.
