A bargain in my opinion

I don't know what the problem is for the other people. I have a 266 Mhz PII w/64 Megs of RAM and a Voodoo 2 12 MB graphics card. The thing runs great. The framerates are excellent at 640x480. If I run it in 1024X768 then it gets choppy if it is raining or snowing. Nothing new there. Too much oversteer on the cars? I don't think so. I have slid my real car on dry pavement and it's about the same. ('98 Contour ... (0.82 G skidpad)) I personally think the game kicks some butt. I think that there is a hardware compatibility problem for the other people. You need the most up to date glide drivers you can get. Just an opinion. By the way, I have NFS1,2, and 3, so this is old news for me. You have to have a proportional input device for steering or you will do very poor, however, you can use the keyboard for the accelerator. (you just have to be more careful, because it's either on or off)

best driving sim ever

This game is incredible! The car selection is fantastic, especially when you tap into the endless supply of "aftermarket" cars on the internet. Driving physics are almost perfect. The many types of game play will keep you busy for weeks and weeks. You'll never get bored with this game. The ONLY flaw is it's almost impossible to drive in the dark. Forget the headlights. You'll do better by just turning them off or following one of the computer-controlled cars (who aren't affected by this phenomenon of course). This is a must have for any driving sim fan.

Top notch racing simulation.

I hesitated to purchase this title because of the previous poor review. I am truly sorry because this game "ROCKS!" The opponents have personalities and adaptable driving styles. They actually try to cut you off and try to prevent you from passing. Heads turn to look at you and the smooth framerate pulls you into the action. The graphics are fantastic and the sheer inventory of cars to choose from is amazing. Gameplay is enjoyable and the ability to race against your opponent and win his car makes this the my racing sim of choice. Many times I have found myself blurting out the words "YOU ARE WALKING HOM FROM THIS ONE" after entering the final stretch of "High Stakes." Running on a PIII450 with 192MB RAM, 7200rpm ATA66, Voodoo3 3000, soundblaster live at 1024x768 using an MS Sidewinder there are no hesitations or "cyberburps" in any way. I have not encountered any problems except understeering conditions which since I have never really driven the cars in question, cannot be contributed to the game. The incorporation of the previous tracks along with the new will please the veteran NFS fan as well as challenge them...they only picked the tricky ones. I was lucky to pick this game up for $14.88 in the markdown bin and would have paid more if I had driven a demo prior to release. This game is a must have if you have the hardware to fully enjoy it and if not, it will look okay but must be run at lower resolutions.

Cool Racing Game!

What do I look for in a car game? Speed, room for error, exhilaration and cars - lots of them. There have been many great Driving games this year but the one that really does put you back in your seat is NFS RC. The tracks and cars are radiant and the different modes of play give enough lasting appeal. Career mode and car damage are improvements over NFS3 but there could have been more tracks buts thats being picky. Want a laugh? Midtown madness. Want Rally? Colin Mcrae. Want Touring? Toca 2. If ever you need to get in your Ferrari on a Sunday afternoon and go 200Mph down a county lane you wont find a better sim then this. Adrenalin rush for the fastest drive of your life.

A Great Game Definitely Worth The $20!

This is one game every car or car game fan should have. The car selection is excellent, and is even further enhanced by the Mercedes-Benz CLK-GTR and the McLaren F1 GT-R. This game is the sequel to three other games [The Need For Speed, Need For Speed II, Need Speed III: Hot Pursuit, (all of which are great games, and they may cost less money if you buy them)]. If you aren't a fan of exotic cars pushing to extreme levels in beautiful places (My favorite is Dolphin Cove), then don't put out money for it. If you do, then make sure you buy it right here.

I had the game years ago but the steering was a bit delayed. I just purchased a new system with Windows XP and a high speed graphics card and now the game works GREAT! I admit the engine sound could be a bit better, but hey for the 4 generation game of NFS what's to expect. You can't compare this game to others, just look at it for what it has in it's own options. Hot Pursuit, Career Mode, Knock Out, Single Player. The best one of all: Career Mode. The repair is very cool, it's fun to beat on the cars and trash the motor and hear it backfire, trash the body and suspention, then go back to the repair shop and watch the car reform (at the price of your winnings). Over all for the 4 level of NFS I give the game 2 thumbs up. Great job NFS.

Awesome game

This game is awesome. For those people that think its like a boat racing game, well, I have something to say about that. You say it's a boat racing game because you suck at playing the game, you just don't know how to play it. You can't just play a game once and expect it to be just the way you want it. If you're so picky, then why don't you just make your own game, and if you do make your own game and you try really hard at making it and you think it's the best game ever. I bet people will review it and say it sucks.

The best game electronic arts has manufactored!

This game rocks. It is the best game in the NFS series. I bought the PSX version the day it hit store shelves. I now have the PC version as well. I breifly got a chance to try the playstation version of NFS5: Porsche Unleashed, but I like this on better, partly because the game is about one manufacturer: Porsche. In this game, you can choose to drive with the top up or down on cars that are so equipped. The hot Pursuit mode is hotter than ever with thre different game mode within Hot Puruit. Plus there are extra cars available from the NFS website. Any diehard race fan should get this game now.
