Funniest part of the second F and F was when the guy was in the neon, spins around backwards gives someone the finger then spins back around. Now, if that were real, he'd have dumped his transmission all over the highway.

Yes, going backwards at like 70mph and then shifting into reverse would kill any transmission: auto or manual.
Double clutching would do nothing to help it.
Double clutching is NOT just for older cars. I double clutch any time I downshift. It saves the synchro's. Ever try going around a tight radius turn? Entering the turn at 60mph, slamming the brakes to drop your entrance velocity, and you want to be in 2nd coming out of the turn. There is no way you want to throw the car in 2nd without double clutching. That would kill your synchro's after a couple weeks of racing.
Any circuit racer will tell you that double clutching is a good thing.
No, it is probably not necessary for newer cars in normal driving conditions. But, in that movie, they were not normal driving conditions. Even if he tried double clutching he would have killed the tranny.
The same goes for games.Quote:

I mean, if I were to do that, I wouldn't enjoy any movie.
When you spend a good portion of your day around cars, then you get that feel for them. It is hard to enjoy something when they try to portray realism, yet deviate from it in certain crucial areas. yes, I bought both Fast & Furious movies because I like car movies. Of course I notice the ridiculus things they do for special effects and it ticks me off. Well, I don't get angry, just dissappointed. The same goes for movies like "Ronin", "Gone in 60 Seconds", "Days of Thunder", "Thunderbolt", etc.
They are good car movies, but they have some really stupid moments of unrealism.
A computer game is the same way; I will probably buy NFS:underground but some of the ridiculus unrealistic parts will dissappoint me more than add to the enjoyement.
Call me a nerd? Sure if you want.
Call me a car freak? Sure, whatever.
Call me a car lover? Sure.
I love cars. I love car movies. I love car games. I love car races. I don't know if that makes me a nerd or not. But, whatever.
I'm not going to let some unrealistic issues interfere with me enjoying a game/movie. It just leaves that much more untapped potential that could have been used.

Some of you didnt believe, hear me now! I told you the game would be hot! That is all. :cool:
well great game..but the city is total crap..there is again nothing to do...why cant they do free mode and at least couple of cities..
and ffs i want a city like in mafia with country side with normal cops with somekind of traffic rules or something..
JUST TAKE MAFIA AS EXAMPLE AND REPLACE WITH BLOODY NFSU CARS!
:mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:
agreed. Mafia was great. You get bored, just drive around. Then go do the mission and drive around.Quote:

I love cars of the '30s.
Well, the speeds involved make it difficult.Quote:

REV gear is only so big. With the wheels spinning so fast, the gear is spinning multiples faster. That means to be in REV going over 60mph, the engine rpms would be out of this world.
I seriously doubt you could do over 60mph in REV gear at all. You'd redline the engine before you got that fast.
But... that is just the engineer/car freak in me talking.
Back to the game: I got it. The "drift" seems pointless and the drag racing isn't as good as I thought it would be. The upgrades are decent and add a dimension of the game that NFS: Porche Unleashed couldn't quite get right.
I really don't have much of an opinion now, either way.
I played this game at EB Games in the mall a couple days ago on the PS2. I actually wasn't too impressed on the two player mode. I think it could have been better.
What was wrong with it? I am considering getting this game. Can anybody tell me which is better? PC or Console version?Quote:

Well, I just got the game.
So far? I'm not impressed, but I'm not dissappointed either. I don't like the "no damage" thing, but I guess I'll just get over it.
And I don't like the fact that you HAVE to put stickers and neon lights to get to certain areas.
No you don't. You have to put neon to boost your "reputation" but stickers don't affect your reputation rating.Quote:

I also hate those stickers....they're ugly and a waste of time.:)
Haven't played the pC but the console version is wild. :cool:Quote:
