Spent the last hour just playing Jumping Jacks with the Impreza. I was using this 2-lap course to experiment and test how effective Powershot Pro is, I have roughly the same time as Burn Pro, but I imagine Burn Pro is better for this, so then I decided to see if changing parts during the race would be effective at all. It's just about all tarmac with 4 seconds on dirt. So I would be going back and forth on parts each lap, haven't set a valid time yet since I keep screwing up somewhere. But in anycase, if anyone wants a challenge or something to do: beat a time of 1:30.XX on JUMPING JACKS with a Cosworth Impreza.

My impressions so far (PC version):
Great game! I don't know about you guys, but for me, this game is really hard, even the early races. It's very close racing in general and the crashes are pretty annoying, but somehow you keep coming back for more (and make it in the end
). City feels big enough, plenty of cars to choose from, all with different handling and sound.
Only two views: chase and bumper. Note that bumper in this game really means bumper.
Still, it's the best view IMO, chase view feels floaty and it zooms in and out as you go slower or faster, which is annoying.
Played it with keyboard, Logitech F510 (which mimics and Xbox 360 controller) and the G25. Keyboard is poo, especially with the higher powered cars. G25 is okay, but there is no FFB (not little or crappy, simply none), there is vibration, but as some people probably already noticed, this is particularly annoying during the crash animation, when it vibrates all the time. Ended up turning it off. Other than that, using a wheel works rather well, though I suspect the game doesn't even detect it as a wheel, but just a controller. Playing with the controller gives the best experience.
Anyway, I hope they patch out some of the annoyances, other than that, it's a great game. 👍

Isn't it already out on iOS. I thought it is. A collegue with an iPhone 5 said he saw it listed.
NLxArosa, I also think it's not too easy. You really have to hunt the most wanted cars down. I also keep comming back to it. Either the vita version or the ps3 version. GOTY for me.

The 41 cars range perfectly through the potential of game car specs (speed, accel, solitity, offroad...), and as the game is not built around cars but around its "playground", i'm fine with that number. GT5 and Forza/Horizon feed my passion for cars already, and they would be no chance that NFS cope with today standards about car sims. Look at Shift tries, NFS would better stay on its own track.

Well I got the Veyron SuperSport and my god that thing is a tank. Fast as all hell and just rams through other racers.
But I experienced an annoying bug. I went to leave an online event and got wrecked while leaving which possibly cause it. But I could still drive around and stuff but the HUD was completely gone and I couldn't go to the pause menu or anything. Had to turn the system off.

Been playing for the past few hours, really pleased so far. Only thing bugging me is I keep beating a guy on the list and then a little while later at some point my speed points has gone back down and so I have access to the car despite being below them on the list (I don't have to beat them again, it just keeps knocking me back a noticeable amount of speed points.

^ That happens to me but usually resets back to what it was a little while later.
My Hopes just got bigger using this machine

The whack intros were terrible. I know how people are when they go "let's try something different", but when you do that it also has to work as well. Having cops suddenly floating and rolling like a wheel makes absolutely no sense at all. The intros to the Most Wanted Cars also had zero relevance to the game. It like they were thinking "ooh look what kind of animations we can do... pretty huh? Start Race!"
Also, I wanted to say that the Tesla is SO SLOW....Maxes out at around 225 km/h on an unsloped road. I know it's not a fast car to begin with, but driving this car has left me terribly unsatisfied. I had more fun driving the Audi hatch around.
Well with only 6 jack spots left, I imagine I'm missing only 2 more offline cars. Just don't know what nor where. Someone want to take a screenshot of their map for me? I'm done with looking TBH.
Haha that's funny. It's not stupid, guy, it gets people to play online more... The Raijin in BP was awesome to drive, fast as hell and barrel rolls like a heavyweight. I certainly didn't mind playing online to drive it.

I couldn't care less about the quantity. I personally find the car list to be great and diverse.
I completely understand that and for that reason they don't need to do it right away. I'd just like to enjoy them once the servers are shut down as well. Sure, that won't happen in a few years, but, just a wish.
Anyway, I got my ''pre-order key'' yesterday evening and the game has been sent to me this morning. Hopefully, it'll be my hands once I get home.
*fingers crossed*
