First Post? Played the Demo on the PS2 Burnout 3 game... good stuff, more of an adventure mode. But tweaking of cars stats and handling may still be weak.

what was boring in nfs:u was that what you could buy was limited(for the time it kept me intrested I could practically buy every addon i was 'allowed' to.. loving the street rod spirit that majorly sucked).

meh. i played the demo in this months playstation mag. It was ok i guess. After playing such a bad*ss game like burnout 3, my view of other racing games generally sucks.

Both FreeBSD and DragonflyBSD have nvidia drivers... which is pretty much all Linux has. So quite trolling.

Excellent. In addition to the two side mirrors, and the windshield mirror, which mirrors, and how many, are we talking about, and where are they placed?

Better UI?

What I'd like to know is did they upgrade their god-awful UI and game menus?

I'm having a real hard time thinking of a game that had a worse user interface and menu navigation. It sucked beyond belief. A menu system 10 levels deep and sometimes over 20 chioces on each level, and all you can see is the current selection and two immediately next to it. A nightmare. The person responsible should suffer public humiliation.

The game looks like they spent two years on developing gameplay (which is great, unless you play as a single player, but I won't go into that), and then hacked the menu system in two days.

Nothing...?
