>WHAT?!?!? NO VIPER?!?!?!? Why would you want a car that in the opinion of many motor journalists, top bang for bucks 0-60mph, but over that, positively terrible? :)

I just read that NFSIII will only have 8 tracks not 10. I read that at ND4spd.com

What no Ford's? I thought there where too many Ford's in NFS2se. And when did Ford become an *** car manufacturer? I'm glad to see them gone.

Are any of the tracks open course or will they all be oval? I don't mind the cars, but if there are no road racing (like in NFS & NFSSE) then to me it's a waste!!!

I couldn't agree more. Can't seem to get this question answered yet, though. Joe McGinn =================================================== Author of Inside LotusScript http://www.manning.com/McGinn/459.html ===================================================

Same here, I even told them so, when I filled out their survey on EA's web page a few months back when they were asking for requested features or comments about their NFS series. Keep in mind though that the EA folks have also had *extensive* user feedback in wishlists which were gathered by some of the NFS fan websites, and which were passed on to EA, these wishlists have let them know we WANT staged courses, cops chasing us and all the other requests we asked for after NFS2 came out. Still, they decided to ignore all that and give us the lame-duck NFS2SE which despite real nice 3dfx graphics compares very sadly to the original NFS or NFSSE or even Test Drive 2. I am hoping EA finally delivers what the fans have been asking for, but based on past performance be prepared to be disappointed. NFS2 - disappointment NFS2SE - disappointment TD4 - disappointment (Although not EA's fault) Keeping my fingers crossed for open staged road courses, traffic and cops, and if I'm not pushing my luck, some decent driving physics models like we have in NFS.

I think you're pushing yout luck. ;-) What I WANT is the same things. What I EXPECT is no open-course tracks until at least NFS4, if ever, and decent NFS1-quality physics maybe in NSF4 or 5. EA just doesn't seem to care what their customers want, and they seem incapable of anything but the tiniest improvements from year to year. (Actually, as we saw with the NFS2 fiasco, tiny improvements are the BEST you can hope for from EA - games that are much, much worse than the previous version with many features removed seem just as likely.)

I agree, the NFS2 track designer is in DESPERATE need of being fired.
