Try running the autorun.exe in Win2000 compatibility mode (right click on the file - properties - compatibility - run this program... Win2000
Excellent! thanks for that, installed now off to play :thumbs:
i thought this was good fun for a demo, some nice touches like the pursuit breaker, tho i did find most of it a bit easy. hope there are harder settings available for the full game

Thanks, just downloading this. I know its nothing like the original Need for Speed, but I used to love playing that years ago. At the time, I thought the fact you could turn the car around and drive all the way back to the start was the best bit! One 'lap' could last hours!

out this week, played the pc demo and really liked it, i like the way they have gone back to the old style, it reminds me alot of burnout 2, with all the motorway racing the art direction is alot better. you can actually see where your going now its alot better to what it was like in the undergrounds.
anyway i dont think ill be getting it this week, gonna wait for te 360 version just for the better tweaks.
online gonna be great with a cat and mouse style police chasing. :clap:
Looking forward to this as well. I just couldn't get in to the Underground games and I liked Midnight Club 3 more. This looks like a combination of Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit 2 (PS2 version) and the customisation of the Underground series. Finally, we get to drive cars during the daytime again. I hope it gets some good reviews. I don't think it is out until the 25th in the UK.

ahh okies, really thought it was this week. :suspect:
Scored 8.5 at Gamespot and IGN. Mostly the same across all platforms but slightly cleaner looking graphics on the XBOX. Looking forward to playing this.
I'm also looking forward to reading reviews of True Crime: New York City which is also released on the 25th in the UK. True Crime: Streets of LA wasn't that good but some parts of it worked well. I hope they've made improvements for the second game.
Mostly the same across all platforms but slightly cleaner looking graphics on the XBOX. Looking forward to playing this.
I've played the demo - graphics are similar to Burnout 4 but less detailed.
Def isnt a Burnout 3 / 4 beater IMO.
Def isnt a Burnout 3 / 4 beater IMO.
It doesn't have to be for me. If it combines the best bits from Hot Pursuit 2, the car customisation from Underground, you can drive during the day and its a decent game then I'll be buying it.
Fantastic cutscenes in this game and the game itself is certainly a step-up from the Underground series, it seems they've taken notice of Burnouts success.
Been playing the XBox version today and it's not bad at all. The graphics are not as good as Burnout 3 / Revenge, poorer framerate (some slowdown in places) and a lot of jaggies all over the shop. It looks like a straight PS2 port. I'm 14% through career mode at the moment and it's pretty enjoyable.

is this using the burnout game engine? as the graphics are much better than NFS U2, bit suprised it's actually quite good (judging by the short go on the pc demo) the ign review said the ps2 was the weakest version (irc) If i do buy it i might have to hide it under another game when I go to pay for it
(because it 's an EA game) ;)
PC version is pretty good - the police evade challenges are great - worth getting.

Loving the demo of this - I've played the challenge where you have to get through the five roadblocks loads, even after I've completed the challenge... Last time round I had a 25 minute chase before I got sore eyes and decided to lose the filth (it gets harder the longer you stay out, they deploy different cop cars to deal with you). The whole thing looks pretty nice and runs smoothly with all the options up at the highest res...
The police are actually pretty intelligent, they co-ordinate with each other to box you in, and line up infront of you to stop you getting past them. Some stupid little things, like crashing into their own roadblocks, but on the whole, pretty good. I heard on the police scanner that one of them was going to take me out, and then I see one of the cars move up to my side before pipping my tail and throwing me into a wall at 140. brilliant.
Car damage isn't as non-existant as Underground - you can now put your car on its roof, scrape the paint up, crack the windows and bash the car about a bit... none of it seems to have any effect on the car's performace though... Wonder if the full game will have cops slinging spike strips across the road infront of you, blowing out tyres?
All in, I haven't played a demo so much since the Unreal Tournament 2003 demo - definately going on the shopping list.

There's nothing like that. If there is, I haven't ****** off the cop enough to experience it yet :D
Am I playing a different game than everyone else?
Im playing this on the xbox and although the cut scenes are very nice (I cant figure out if its stunning cgi or live action made to look cgi mixed with cgi backgrounds) the graphics in the game seem really really cack with low res backgrounds and the cars dont look that great either.
Ive got burnout revenge and that just looks amazing compared to this and the handling of the cars is not that great imo.

There are spike strips in the PC version - the cops also get SUV's and Helicopters later on in the game.

it's the latter, so it's ok to be attracted to the women who all seem to dress like slappers, even the policewoman! ;)

Its because your playing it on the XBOX, the PC version graphics are on par with the XBOX360 version :)
Check out this screenshot showing off realtime soft shadows on the PC version:

Have been giving this a good run, and no matter how i drive, i cant seem to get the reckless driving charge. Any tips on getting that to complete the set, have tried everything i can think of, inc driving all over everything, reversing along the motorway, etc.
Apart from that, am enjoying this game a lot so far, tho still a bit easy generally, expect it will get a lot harder later

got the game today and fun and nothing like the dull underground series games, had to go through and turn off all the crap music (there is a few ok tracks). Disappointed with the graphics as I played the PC demo with a budget gfx card and all looked nice at high quality (I bet EA did on purpose to sell the 360 version)

Been playing this for a couple of hours and I must say it's a massive improvement compared to the Underground series. Feels genuinely exciting playing it for a start and the cop chases are just superb. Playing on the PC with a FF wheel BTW.
Excellent stuff so far.
I've got the PS2 version. I've played the prologue and beaten 15th and 14th on the Blacklist. I wasn't that impressed with the graphics when I first started playing. Maybe it is easier to make a game look good at night than one set during the day but so far I slightly prefer Hot Pursuit 2. I couldn't decide whether the graphics were good or awful for a time because on the surface they look ordinary but then there are other times when it looks quite good especially with the changing weather, some big destructible objects, the little tricks like zooming in on a police car and those cutscenes are quite innovative in how they are done.
It sounds great in theory: a Need For Speed game combining the best elements of Hot Pursuit 2 with the Underground games. But I've yet to be convinced that the two have been combined as well as they could have been. After one race I spent 28 minutes trying to lose the cops but I just couldn't manage it and I couldn't jump to my hide out while the cops were after me. The game gives you a few chances to let you off after you are busted by the police but I just decided to reset my PS2 because I didn't want to waste one of them. I'm not certain but I think it is possible to get yourself into a situation where, unless you're careful, you could end up having to start your career all over again. If that is the case then it is just badly designed/structured.
But aside from that its great to drive during the day again after those Underground games which I didn't like all that much. On the run from the cops reintroduces a greatly missed element from Hot Pursuit 2 (aside from the problem mentioned earlier).
A couple of other ctiticisms though. I can't stand the music and unless I find something decent to listen to on EA Trax it will be turned off. The other thing is that you don't seem to be able to change the camera in-game with the press of a button, you have to do it from the pause menu.
Its good but it could have been better. But those are Just my first impressions...
You can change the camera on the Xbox version in game but not sure about the PS2 version tbh. The only niggle I have is that I can't find an option to centre the picture. The right hand side of the picture is just off screen slightly so that all I have on the laps is 1/ . I don't fancy adjusting the tv because it's fine on TiVo, DVD and every other PS2 / Xbox game I have.
Update: There are 10 controller types to choose from and many of them have a button to change the camera. After trying all the camera options I decided to stick with the default (Close view).
I've also just had a go on the first three of those challenges that aren't in the Career Mode. I think the problems trying to evade the police early in the career mode are just down to the slower cars and not having Nitrous when you start. The game looks and plays much better with those faster cars in the Challenge Series. I'm also enjoying it more now I've turned all the tracks to "off" in the EA Trax section.
The police chases just leave me grinning completely, really enjoying this game so far. Currently upto the blacklist 11 member and got to a code 3 police chase (3 on the heat symbol), great how they block you in on the motorways and spin/flip over if you catch them right at speed :D
One thing I find irritating is if you let a cop overtake they stay in front and keep the same speed and you end up chasing the cop down the road, also pretty disappointing when you accidentally evade them and finding another cop in time can be difficult.
Another thing, when you beat a blacklist member you get the bonus items, pick 2 of the 6 and one of the blank random ones contain the opponent car - 4 times I've tried and never get their damn car :|

Just bad luck. The only time I didn't get the pink slip (out of four tries) was on the occasion I didn't try for it because my car was already better...
Having said that, just beaten the blacklist 11 and won his car! Found another irritant though lol, it was a 3 lap sprint race and by the second lap I must've had 20-30 second lead and driving perfectly using the shortcuts and so on, I was keeping an eye on the opp's arrow and he started taking routes which seemed completely impossible to try and catch up - it was as though he did quarter of the lap offroad, seems the game doesn't like you beating it which is a tad unfair.
I have read (I think it was in the Gamespot review) that at a certain point in the game you get a message informing you that the competition is going to get much more difficult from now on. Then your opponents start taking all the shortcuts.

i think the intention with this is that they are deisgned to slow u down so that others can catch up, and execute the rolling block, hasnt worked on me yet, but have had a couple of close calls.

I think it was in Need For Speed: Hot Pursuit 2 (possibly another game) but the other drivers wouldn't use shortcuts until you did first. They know all the shortcuts, so until you are more familiar with the city try staying on the normal route to see if they don't use the shortucts.
Upgrade your car with Nitrous and make sure you've got some for the sprint to the line.
Ah thanks for the info you two, makes sense :)

I'm not sure thats the case, as long as you have more than 1 car. If you have 2 or more, then u can switch cars and the heat on that car will die away slowly apparently. If you only have 1 car, then changing the paints or body kits etc will reduce the heat right down again as well, although obviously that cant be done when in a chase.
my best so far is about a 45 minute chase with heat on 4, think i wrecked about 40 cars and had a bounty in the millions somewhere. got very lucky to escape as i managed to wreck the last 2 cars about 100 yds from a safe house (would like to say that was planned, but :)
Currently up to blacklist 6 driving a rather nice merc almost fully maxed out

Just unlocked Rockport :D Amazing, my little car can reach around 190mph around it.
I love the jump at the other end of the sports field with throws you back onto the road :D I don't know how people can turn all the music off, the police chase music is excellent.
Turning all the EA Trax off doesn't turn off the police chase music.
The music in this is pretty awful compared to NFSU I think. Especially the dire Disturbed, Static X and various other unknowns. Positives are Mastadon, Avenged Sevenfold and the Prodigy track for me, nice driving music :)
I think the XBrick verison is a pretty good racer actually - the resolution isnt anything to write home about but as a racing game its very playable.
Anyone still playing this? Upto blacklist 4 now with a maxed out Gallardo, just had my first couple of goes in a heat 5 chase with the Corvette police cars :D
Evaded one and quit the game before getting busted in my second go (not strictly cheating as it was just for fun :p). Helicopter sure makes it difficult.

I still enjoy the police chases but the races are annoying me, the stupid elastic band ai is cheap and a tool of talentess mongs.
i've literally just finished the game tonight, beat razor and then the final mission, if you think heat 5 is hard, wait for this. found razor fairly easy to beat tbh, but dont think it was worth it to get my beemer back, preferred the dodge i was using towards the end (one of my 7 cars :), won a few in the picks)
have also done most of the challenges now, only one left, number 68 of 69, purely cos that requires a 30 min police chase on heat 5, which i cant be bothered to do yet. they sure do get a lot harder towards the end, but the final one is fairly straightforward, think u can do that from any point in the game, would be good practice for the later police chases in the game
Just finished it, was getting pretty irritated with having to complete the huge milestones in later levels as they took so long! Also Razor wasn't the greatest was he, even he suffered majorly from the 'elastic band AI' which could be taken advantage of.
Final mission.. ..drove me crazy (no pun intended), on my first attempt I get past the 5 minute mark for the phone call and end up hitting spikes with 2 wheels about half a second before the orange marker/bridge road. Restarting police chases when you know nothing happens until 5 minutes has passed really kills the brain cells, managed it around attempt 6.
Future NFS games I'd like to see standard AI and none of this nonsense where the opponent's Clio goes 250mph to catch up which makes lap and sprint races completely boring/frustrating until the final 10%, ability to skip/turn off the in-race video mode when you hit a jump, ability to make opponent's cars spin in a race and finally more drag races!
Enjoyed it overall though which is what really matters :D
How far you got on the challenge series? The later ones of those are a nightmare to complete
Upto around 25 I think, haven't played them for a few days. Considering not bothering as I think endless police chases will wind me up :) There's a stretch of motorway near where the milestones stuck you when you started one, it's just a big fast loop and I completed all of the hard ones on it.. got a little tedious. Think I'll take a week off and give them a go when the novelty returns.

you can turn off the video mode when you hit a jump, I can't remmeber what it's called, it's in the options. EA will never put a decent AI into their games as they are lazy because they know people will buy the game regardless how **** the AI is. hopefully they will get it right for the sequel
i think the turning the video off is called moment camera or something like that in the gameplay menu, been a while since checked as turned it off way back
I get his when installing the demo, have no idea why this comes up as i have DirectX 9.0c installed :(

I bought the 360 version this week and it's great. The graphics are nice, it's a shame Critereon didn't do as good a job with porting Burnout to the 360.
The handling felt very loose at first, probably because I'd been playing Ridge Racer too much. The cutscenes are superb, probably the best in-game cutscenes I've seen.
my only critiscm (apart from EA trax) is it's looking like a very long game because the Milestones are too high for each Blacklist rival. I reckon it'll become too repetitive stopping me from completing it. :(
I got bored of it after a few days, should really get around to selling it.
The cutscenes are superb, probably the best in-game cutscenes I've seen.
Really? Have you not played many games since 1996?
did anyone manage to complete this? I'm only 20% through and it's looking like a very long game.
yeah, i managed to complete it in a few days. Very enjoyable
Really? Have you not played many games since 1996?
yes but I can't recall seeing any Live action cutscenes in that time. :shrug:
yes but I can't recall seeing any Live action cutscenes in that time. :shrug:
Using 'Live' actors in shiny CGI cars on poorly rendered CGI backdrops don't make them good cutscenes. I thought they were pretty poor and weren't any better than say Burn:Cycle on the CDI from 13 years ago
Finally took this out the wrapper after buying this cheap a couple of months ago & i'm really enjoying it so far. Graphics are impressive, although occasional frame-rate issues are annoying. The police chases are fun too. So much better than those crappy Underground releases.
Just unlocked the Lamborghini, that car is a beast. It leaves the police standing!
I was quite suprised how big the police chases get, I now have the helicopters, spike belts, road blocks and SUVs to contend with.
tbh I'm enjoying this more than Burnout.
Yeah, I had my first taste of Level-4 police pursuits this evening & Jeesus wept! ... that was fun & tough. Definitely liking this more than I thought I would, but repetiveness is starting to creep in. Best played in small doses, especially reaching those latter milestone goals!
the milestones are tiresome, there's nothing worse than racking up a big pursuit score and then getting busted and having to do it all again.

Yup, did that twice in a row tonight... Had two huuuge chases with scores that easily put me over the limit to continue on to challenge the next blacklist racer (No.8) ... both times I was making my way to a hiding-space & BLAM .... SUV roadblock. :brickwall
I have just started playing this last week and also am enjoying it a lot more than I thought I would.
The milestones do get very tedious as you get higher up the blacklist though and I get really angry when a spike trap appears out of nowhere round a corner and you don't have time to hit the slowdown button.
Do other people spend ages deciding what body kit etc....to put on or do you just go for the performance stuff??
Also a handy hint that may have already been mentioned - Save your game before you take on the blacklist member. Then if you dont pick their pink slip as one of your 2 bonus items, reset and try again until you get it. I have quite a collection of their cars now, the Lambo Gallardo being my favourite so far.
I've just stuck with my initial Fiat Punto, with all the performance extras, it easily out-performs the cars i've won pink-slips for & easiest to drive. I only purchase body-kit parts that improve the downforce, and if my bounty-rating gets too high, i'll buy a new full body-kit + change the colour, add stripes etc to bring the rating down.
Pink Slip never appears in the same spot twice, that should help you win their cars.
I haven't even gone into the garage, the races are pretty easy, even with the dodgy A.I that manages to catchup in seconds.
You should save your game as much as possible, I found out the hard way that it doesn't autosave, I had to re-do everything with one Blacklist Rival after the game froze. :(

At first the game is fun, escaping from the police but the game gets really annoying thanks to the elastic band AI. It's a tool of lazy and talentless programmers to make to make the games lifespan longer. Also on later police chases, the police just ram into your car's front when you are doing 170mph :nuts:
I've got up to the Timberlake look a like fairy (razor) and can't be bothered to complete it

From the previews you get respect for beating "crews" and take over their terrority and get team mates. You think EA would milk the Most wanted series a bit more :shrug:

Razor gets busted, Mia turns out to be a cop, she lets you go but you need to outrun the entire police force, which I never managed because you can't loose them or hide
so there might be more.

once you lose them you get your original car (BMW?) back and not much else happens then, just get to finish off any left over challenges - hardly worth the effort. Escaping from the police does feel pretty good tho
I have played Need For Speed: Most Wanted on PS2 before but didn't really get that far with it. Now I've purchased it for 360 and don't regret buying it at all. The graphics and framerate are a lot better on the 360 obviously. Maybe they are showing their age slightly by today's standards but still decent.
I know the game is going to get a bit repetitive and there will be more than a few moments of frustration but it still plays very well - this is how a Need for Speed should be. Don't get me wrong, I think Shift is going to be good but it will be a different kind of game with the Need for Speed title in name only.
The first time around I mostly played this as a pure sandbox game i.e. I found races on the map and drove to them, got into trouble with the cops and built up my milestones and bounty. I'm only right at the start of the game but this time I've been mostly selecting races from the Blacklist menus and even initiating Milestone challenges from the menus as well.
I doubt I will play through Need For Speed: Most Wanted all at once. But the nature of the Blacklist setup is that this is the type of game you could play for an hour or two and beat one of the 15 listed drivers and start a new chapter the next time you load up the game.

NFS:MW was the last decent NFS game, imo.
Played this in short bursts over the last couple of days and that really is the best way to play it because it does get repetitive. I don't think Most Wanted is a very stable game. I've experienced a few technical issues such as the game freezing when lots of cops are after you and freezing shortly after the sound drops out.
The cops can be a pain to lose sometimes espeically after you've won a long race and just want to jump to your safe house and save the game.
I am so bloody annoyed at this game as I type this post. During the course of playing Need for Speed: Most Wanted I've experienced the same game freezing bug at least two dozen times. The sound drops out and the game eventually says it is loading the area and it just freezes.
So I'm up to the final showdown with Razor and on the 5th and final race (which it seems you can't save between so you have to do them in one go). I've retried this final race once before and almost won but Razor just beat me on the last turn. Then on the third try I'm ahead and everything is going well and you guessed it, the sound disappears and I know the game is about to freeze. Even trying to restart doesn't do any good. Other than this major issue NFS:MW is a great game. But having a bug like this is very frustrating. I'll try again tomorrow but I'll be glad when it is over now to be honest.
got Shift a few weeks ago and I think thats a return to form for the NFS series.
