Where is the replay value???? |
| DC from Portland, Oregon, US to the A says (29/Mar/2003): |
OK, first off, i hate PS2 so i cant say that the XBOX's version is better but im sure its not, mainly cause it is a port of the PS2 version. Now then, I bought the game before i played it, not smart but i dont need to be smart cause i have extra cash to waste, and i did on this game. It's not that the game itself was bad or anything, but Im a racing game freak so beating games doesnt take long at all. In fact, i counted how long it took to beat this game because I beat Burn Out in 4 1/2 hours including messing around in the time trials for an hour beforehand, and NFSHP2 was no different. It took only 5 hours to beat this game in its entirety, and it pissed me off, I was so mad that i took NFSHP2 back demanding a refund(which i got by the way). I was highly dissapointed by the games depth and that alone should make this game the worst in the NFS series.

I agree with Brandon... |
| Josh from Palm Harbor, Florida says (24/Mar/2003): |
This game is truely kickass, yet it could use some cheats for the impatient gamers looking for the easy way to get the good cars. Other then that, and the fact that there are only a few real-time damages, the game kicked ass. Then out-of-control movements are spectactular, just like a real car. And you can't lose a cop going 40mph unless it runs into another car... don't try that bull$#< remove me > at ! just because you can't beat the game. It's obvious that the people that can't beat the game only give it bad reviews because they can't win and want the cheats, but yet again, cheats would help. Overall: Buy the game, you'll like it if you're a hardcore fast action racing fan. :)

I think it was the tightest racest game i ever played. |
| Brandon from Sterling Heights, Mi 48310 says (9/Mar/2003): |
I didnt really like project gotham racing as much as this game. Just because this game ain't got no cheats doesnt mean it is a bad game. I didnt think i needed to rent it. People said that it was a very good game and i totally agree. For all those people who think its a bad game because it aint got any codes, you guys are jsut wimps and babies and cant beat the game on your own!

I would have to say that I most definitly agree wit Derek10. Simply because this game has no cheats and the damage reality SUCKS!!!!!!!! If I were Bill Gates I would fire who ever made this Butt game. Also the damn cops are too easy and they are dumb. I mean Even when I put it on the hardest difficulty I can loose the pigs going jus 40MPH!

I hated it! |
| Derek10 from Medford,Massachusetts says (21/Feb/2003): |
This game is the worst. I never should of bought it. There are no cheats for this game. I think Project Gotham Racing is way better than this. Project Gotham Racing is the best car game for xbox. The only problem with Project Racing is that there are no Mclarens or Lamborghinis. Another problem with this game is that the graphics stink. If I reported this to Bill Gates the chairman of Microsoft he would probably mention the same stuff as i did. For someone who looking forward to buy this game I wouldn't because it is a waste of money. The only good car to me in this game is the Mustang Cobra. (Don't Buy it)

This Game doesn't hold a candle to Project Gotham Racing |
| R. Anderson from Maryland, USA says (17/Feb/2003): |
Not even a smoldering match nevertheless a candle. I absolutely loved NFS III: Hot Pursuit on the PSX and I still play it. Everyone knows what the Xbox is capable of after playing the gorgeous Project Gotham Racing that was released at the launch of the Xbox. Electronic Arts can't be serious with this poor entry to the racing genre. This game lacks in excitement the way chickens lack in taking flight. I am truly disappointed. Since the launch of Microsoft's Xbox, I haven't seen a racer that has even come remotely close to competing with Project Gotham. Of all the third party licensees out there, I thought EA would make more of an effort at achieving this goal. To know that the PS2 version is the better of the two, really shows that EA's programmers did not utilize the full potential of the Xbox. I mean who are we kidding here? The Xbox is by far the superior gaming system when it comes to it's comparison to the PS2. It almost seems as if Sony paid off EA to make a mediocre version of NFS:"HP2" for the Xbox so that it appears that they make the better system. Either that or EA is just playing favorites. I heard that the two versions were not developed by the same programmers. Now what reason could there have been for that? Could it be for the same reason that the PS2 wields Rockstar's "Grand Theft Auto: Vice City" when "Grand Theft Auto 3" never made it to the Xbox and clearly could have been a better game on it? I guess us Xbox owners just have to accept the fact that there is somebody somewhere out there who just does not want the Xbox to be seen for what it truly is.. The Best Gaming System on the market today.

This is the best racing game I have ever played!!!! |
| Taylor Mozingo from Stafford Virginia says (20/Jan/2003): |
If you are one of those hardcore racing fanatics, then this is the game for you. Not only are the graphics amazing but the detail and the sounds are too. The cars are amazingly accurate and since I own a Lamborghini Murcie`logo I know what one looks like and the model on the game is extremely realistic. Though the engines are pretty much the same for every car, this is still a great game.

SHAFTED |
| Tyler from Medicine Hat, Canada says (3/Jan/2003): |
OK, first of all, i played this game on ps2 a night before i bought it.....i figured it was such a sweet game on ps2 it must be EVEN better on xbox, so the next day i went out and bought it, 70 bucks later i brought it home and was immediately disappointed...it didn't have nearly the same amout of special features as the ps2 version, on the ps2 you can hit a button that does a 360 of your car during gameplay...not so on the xbox version...hitting cops and roadblocks are not nearly as fun on xbox as on ps2 because there is no slow motion replay during the game, another thing, REPLAYS.....well maaaaan.....u get the most crappy view ever! i can't believe it! honestly! i want graphics, i wanna see my CAR driving, not just the road, its pathetic...aaaaand for hot pursuit when you're BEING the cop, its a little more fun to be able to pull the guy over rather than run into him and have his car automatically break down...i have been a need for speed fan since the 1st one came out on computer, i bought an xbox for christmas so i could eventually buy this game, and now that i have i wish i would have rented it first rather than go by my instinct of what the others were like. Xbox owners like myself should feel cheated by this game, h*ll its probably better on gaemcube, i wouldn't doubt it...

xbox version is not as cool as the playstation 2 version |
| Lil Skizzle from Arlington, TX, USA says (29/Dec/2002): |
The graphics were not good at all. The cars didn't look like the real thing, it was horrible. I just wish it was more like the one for playstation 2. The playstation 2 one had good graphics and everything. The only bad thing is that you can't crash like you can for xbox.

Every one is too swishy swashy. |
| Rocket X from Forest, MS, USA says (30/Nov/2002): |
Okay, okay, okay...it's not the greatest game, but at the same time it's not the worse. It's great for renting, that's the best thing I can say about it. I've played waaayyy worst games, like Test Drive: Off Road Wide Open. Everyone is too critical of this game, besides, you get to out run the cops...

Needs more than just speed |
| Shakey from Sydney Australia says (3/Nov/2002): |
This racing game is below average, it could and should do so much more than what it is. It would be good to have more customisation of the cars to drive, it would be good to control the music throughout the game, like a car cd player (and personal music control from the xbox hard disk), it would also be great to be able to have better controls over the replays and functionality to save them. The sound effects require more work, there is little difference between car engine sounds, they all sound like a whining motorbike. I personally think this game is a dissapointment and not worth purchasing.

It should have been so much more |
| Ray from Indiana USA says (3/Nov/2002): |
This was one of my most anticipated games for the xbox. I was a long time fan of the series on the PS1. I feel as a xbox owner we were given the shaft by electronic arts. First off there are alot of differences between this and the PS2 game. The colors are much more vibrant on the PS2. The PS2 game received 2 more tacks than the xbox game. There are I beleive 10 more cars on the PS2 game compared to the xbox game. And to me the biggest let down of all is the replay mode. One of the greatest thrills of the need for speed series, is after a high speed chase was the joy of watching a replay of the race in a wonderful cinematic replay. Something you are just not able to do with the xbox version. All we get is a replay of the race from a chase view of the car. There is no need to even watch it because it is exactly what you just watch during the race. The PS2 version though, gives you that wonderful replay mode where it is like watching Smokey and the Bandit. I defenatley would suggest renting it first. I myself have decided not to buy it, just because I beleive that electronic arts deliberately gave xbox owners an inferior product.

if you have ps2 & xbox, get the ps2 version.... |
| Matt says (21/Oct/2002): |
i rented this game last week for ps2, and then this week for xbox. sure, xbox may have the upper hand when it comes to sleek and clean looking graphics. the game looks great. but is noticeably choppy when compared to its ps2 counterpart. and theres no classic and extreme handling like on ps2!? i just dont understand why they would take the time to make a game LOOK so damn good only to sacrifice game speed.
