I know I know, "Need for Speed", but this one's different, much different.

If you're looking to have a great time, and just get a break from LFS, there's no better racing game. The physics are very good, not perfect, but damn good. What I don't understand is in the demo they're absolutely horrible, but I took the risk (because I want lots of content, cars, tracks) and the physics and graphics are nothing like the demo, at all...
The graphics are fantastic, the cars nearly as good as GT5, the tracks the best I've seen, and VERY accurate. The realistic cockpit effects are awesome, every interior is perfect down to the smallest detail, and super high resolution textures are used inside the cars.

It's a really great game if your willing to give up just a tiny bit of physics. It looks amazing, has the best tracks and cars, and it's a real blast online.

I'm having a real blast with it right now. It runs perfect on my older rig, but that rig is still kinda good. But it seems very well optimized. The car reflection update is real time, unlike the older NFS games. And oh god it's nothing like the older one's with physics, they must have hired the very best people, because when you turn off the aids (gotta have'em for the arcaders) it feels great. I'm having a real blast with it, and the cars sound and feel so real, they did a great job.

I think demo physics are odd because it brakes and steers for you. It's all a bit wierd. but it's fun othewise.
