car

the gameplay and the cars are great. However, there are a couple things that bug me: the spikes strips are annoying. I can't tell you how many times I've been in first place and in my glory, ran over a spikes strip that basicially covers the entire road. you should be able to continue going on the race, but at a reduced speed. also, the graphics are a little cheesey. The cars are pretty good looking, and so is the beginning movie. That's about all. This game still has those corny looking backgrounds that almost look like a flat sheet, or a picture. But when you're going dowm a straightaway with a jump right ahead of you in your McLaren F1 LM, the last thing you will bw thinking about is the flat background.I like the opal speedster. cool lookin car. not the fastest, but best handling. Too bad Opals cant be in the U.S.(some stipid bumper regulation)Well, anyway, I'm hooked on NFS HP2. I also must say that for a racing game, it has an excellent replay value. The two player adds to the replay value. I reccomend picking this game up used for a must cheaper price, there seem to be a lot on amazon for a good price. Overall, four out of five stars

Well i really like this game and i you will too. It won't matter if you like racing games or not. There are some things i should tell before u buy it though. First: the graphics are 9/10,not bad but their better on the ps2. Second:The selection of cars is great,if you know a lot about cars you'll be pleased to know that the knew gto is in it. It is not called to gto, it is the car gm used for the body and things like that. In the game it's called to hsv coupe.so look for that. Third:The controls are also 9/10 because at high speeds the cars swerve off the road, if u like realism that might not bother you. Fourtly:I love the music it really get's you into the mood of driving fast. Fifthly:There are plenty of things to do on this game.Example if you are bored of being chased by cops you can go in single mode and be a cop yourself with a variety of cool cop cars like lamborghinis, viper, porsche, and a couple of ford cars. Also you can verse a friend, it is too bad that u can't have 4 people race at once, but all the same it's still good. The championship mode is really cool to because there's no cops and u have lot's of different races to keep you occupied. I personally have troubles with the time trials. So all in all this game is good some of the graphics can be a little messed up at times, but since u can pick this game up for $... it's a good buy. Rent it first if you can and see for yourself. Like I said even if you like games like bond, or madden you'll have a good time playing this game. I hope this review will help you in your descision to buy this game. Thanks for taking your time and reading this!

i don't know what it's like on game cube, but it's awsome on ps2. i spent months in tech school playing this game every saturday. the soundtrack is perfect for the game and the game racing is extreme. buy it, you wont be let down...
