No doubt when it comes car selection
the people at EA are talented. They
picked up the 6 fastest production cars
in the world for their newest racer Need
For Speed II. The original was one of
the leaders of the revolution of racing
games. But the second time round it
seems to be lacking that fun factor that
made the original such a hit.
The cars are the strongest point of the
game. The cars EA assembled were the
Ford GT90 which was the resurrection
of the GT 40 this is a huge V 12
composed of two separate engines
molded together to create a monster,
the Italdesign Cala a V 10 400
horsepower all in a carbon fibre body,
the Jaguar XJ 220 the second fastest
production car in the world nuff said, the
Lotus Esprit V 8 with incredible
acceleration and control, the Isdera
Commendatore 112 hand built special
edition V 12, and the Mclaren F1
fastest production car to date top speed
231 mph ultra quick acceleration. Well
as you can tell EA really did take care in
the cars but that was about it.
The tracks were very poorly detailed
and showed plenty of pop up graphics.
Also they had many turns raises and
drops to try and hide the pop up
scenery.
I can say however the crashes were
spectacular and looked like they
belonged in a movie. But the crashes
couldn't make up for all the other
problems. So I'm being generous when I
say rent it.
SCORE: 6.2
