No markers when you defeat Darius, just credits. The Audi shows up in the quick race garage, but not as a purchase from the shops. I used it for a quick race, turns on a dime, accelerates like a rocket, and stops like hitting a brick wall. lol... can any1 remind me if you could pick markers after be...

Finally beat him after a few tries. The fourth and fifth I lost in the last few feet. How frustrating that was! I beat him in a fully tuned Supra. Adjusted to faster acceleration did the trick. I think he might have crashed somewhere near the final barrier turn because the meter showed him getting f...

I'm sure I was more disappoined than you are no matter how disappointed you are now....If you really like a game, you naturally take more time to find everything about it and look at the negatives, I have to say we are the really important customers that EA needs. You seem very full of yourself if ...

I had to rename the Movies folder for it to work in RC2. Go to the installation folder for Carbon and find the Movies folder, I renamed it Moviez. Voila! Works like a charm. Good luck to you Veg.

I am using NFSC with Vista RC2 (Build 5744) with the beta nVidia drivers. It works fine although I have most of the settings lower than I would want. One thing I did was to make it run in Admin mode. I tried switching it to compatability mode after running it on Vista. It doesn't like that, must thi...

I liked the Ram logo so I picked it and chose the name Berzerkers. I went to Berkner HS in Richardson, TX and we were the Rams. Back story!

Pictures Uploaded to NFS.com

Okay, I used the all-famous search button but couldn't find anything (unless my 40-year-old eyes are failing me). When you take a picture of you car in-game (not a screen shot) it uploads the picture (even gives you a "received" message). When I go to the website there is nothing there. Wh...

I had that problem also. What fixed it for me (I am using Vista) was to run it as an admin and give it all permissions. Still takes a good 20 seconds to return to Windows it is better than the 5+ minutes (yes, minutes) it was taking before. Only issue I'm having is that the game seems to freeze upon...

My only reaction to the "real cars" vs NFSC Cars is ... it is a game. I guess it comes down to making the game challenging or making it real. In all honesty, you are right. A Lotus would wipe up the streets in real life against tuner Mazdas, but would that make a good game? Would you rathe...

It is amazing that NFSC has only been out for a few days and you say you have played "for some time". I got it yesterday and I am not trying to barrel my way through. I am at 37% and have just beaten Angie (using Kenji's RX-7). Yes, there are some challenging opponents but using NOS wisely...

Just picked mine up from Best Buy this morning. Installed flawlessly and ran it the first time. I ran into the black screen on first run, renamed the Movies folder, and ran again. No problem. I think by renaming that folder I disabled all the FMV movies. I hope that doesn't ruin my gaming experience...

Good luck with that. I have checked online with just about all the Best Buy's where I live, my parent in GA, my in-laws in CA and not one store has them in stock. I had thought of getting it today (Nov 1st) but I don't think it is gonna happen. I'm getting it tomorrow (November 1st) I'll go to the B...

I am quite new (2nd post) but holy smokes fasttasf that is a pretty harsh review. I, personally, don't care too much how a game looks, but how it plays. Most of your comments relate to eye candy and not how the game actually plays. I am not going to look at the wheels on a (childish) drift race to s...

I am playing NFSUG2 on Vista RC2 Ultimate. I have an nVidia 7300LE card and although I can't take the graphics all the way up it still looks good.
