    I used to play the demo version of this on the PC. Once you got bored of actually racing, one of the coolest things to do was play with the ridiculous way your car spins in the air if you crash into a wall or opponent at top speed. No damage modeling in this game after all.

    You should review its main competitor of the time, Screamer, from the Italian Graffiti. that game was great.

  11. StrawberryGuy86 says:

    @tudythegangster …
    @tudythegangster Okay, you can calm down now, because Need For Speed: Hot Pursuit WILL be available on PC! I looked up Wikipedia and I didn’t see any word on the PC port being cancelled. So don’t worry, there is no need to panic. You’ll be getting it soon.

    Good that the X man is out! Good that i didnt need to him him talking! “CRY BABY!”

  16. tudythegangster says:

    @StrawberryGuy86 …
    @StrawberryGuy86 Shift is a simulator. A great simulator, but just like most simulators: an awful game.

    I don’t know about the NFS HP demo since EA and Criterifags decided at the last moment NOT to release it on PC. They will probably do the same for DLC’s…

  17. StrawberryGuy86 says:

    @tudythegangster …
    @tudythegangster Really? Because I thought Shift was pretty good! And I did have a great time playing the demo of NFS: Hot Pursuit (The New One). I know it was only one race unless you had one of your friends involved in the demo so you could race another which kinda sucks, but I still found that one race to be a blast, even if it was a little easy. But do keep in mind that this is my opinion and yours may very well be different to mine.

    When X-Man called …
    When X-Man called you a cry baby, you made the ultimate payback by slapping the word Douche on his face! Great job buddy! I’m so glad the more recent Need For Speed games have improved a lot over the downright cheesy acting of the first game!

    your videos are so …
    your videos are so much better than Inecomcompany’s! finally no more lame attempts at humor and useless commentary.

  20. tudythegangster says:

    NFS… just isn’t …
    NFS… just isn’t what it used to be. I’m not talking about Underground, Underground 1 and 2 were awesome too! But after Carbon… failure. Just. Pure. Failure.

    Getting rid of the X-man is the biggest improvement in video game porting history.
