I have a slight problem with this game.

I have the black edition, and an FX 5200, and after app. 20 minutes of gameplay, the whole game begins to act weird. Purple and yellow stips begin to appear, and the whole game halts, stays so for 20 seconds, and then (maybe) starts again. But this bug makes the game unenjoyable.
No, it's neither a DirectX problem, nor a gfx- driver problem, since I updated both of them to the last version.

Does someone have a hint what I could do to make it work?

unicum: did you overclock your card? It is overheating. It can overheat even if it's not overclocked. That's a pretty poor card for these games.

Nice review HX. Totally agree. I was just annoyed by the actors and the story. It's so rap. Eww. I think even the developers stated their oppinion of that in one of the descriptions of the blacklist racers: "He's so awesome. By night he's in the nighclubs, by day on the streets. How does he manage it?".
I didn't like the handling. NFSU2 had great handling. Very precise. You could see that when you were accelerating from 0 kmh/mph. These cars handle like in CMR; if you turn at 20kph/13mph the rear of your car slides?! The speed was insane. I wonder what it will be like in the next NFS. Will it be like playing a replay from NFS4 at 4x speed? Oh and i was expecting the cops to be more agressive. All they do is deploy roadblocks :O.

Rofl, like theres any point discussing the cars handling physics. This is NFS and always will be. I enjoyed the demo and hopefully I can get my hands on the full version soon. I would have liked an improved drift mode, but it would not have suited this particular version. The cops make up for that though Smile

Thanks for the feedback, I'll just have to get a better card, or some serous cooling. :(

This is a really fun game but like most driving games, I get bored after a while cuz they seem to just drag on. I took a break from NFS:MW while I am @ #5.
