Filth : Overtake a cop car at over ssmph and a car chase ensued, with you, obviously, as the chasee. More : And there was more, but I want to end this paragraph and tell you what was crap about the game. Cue the next paragraph Crap things about The Need For Speed Okay, due to the design of the game engine the roads could only be viewed from one direction.
It was possible to drive Cthe wrong way', but in doing so you could only access the exterior car view, meaning you were constantly driving towards yourself, your joystick, and your monitor screen, with not a clue as to what bend or road vehicle was coming up next.
Another slightly crap thing about the game engine was that it tended, occasionally, to give you that Cstreamed straight from cd' feeling. You know? Like when you're confined to a small lateral area, and the scenery is being shoved at you? Onto the artificial intelligence of the computer-controlled road users, then, and it wasn't brilliant. The general two-way traffic had pretty much no ai whatsoever, although oncoming cars would beep at you when you Cscared' them just like real-life ones do, ho ho.
Oh, and the coppers weren't overly bright either And as for the computer-controlled competitors, probably the best word to use here would be Cpredictable'. They'd block and they'd shunt, but you tended to know where and when to expect this behaviour. I've got an incredibly unfinished version of the game which contains a couple of courses, but with no trackside scenery: just roads suspended in space, in other words. No Ctraffic' in it, either, but I was able to do the main thing you couldn't do in the original - namely drive the wrong way round the track.
So, an all-new game engine then, I bet. Let me just check the press release for details. Reads for five minutes. Yes, I was right, it's an all-new rendering engine. I'll paraphrase some of the other just-gleaned nuggets of info before I forget them. Righto, firstly is the fact that there's going to be a hell of a lot of Coffroad freedom' this time. I've already said that you can drive the wrong way, but apparently this is as nothing: there are to be short-cuts and alternative routes, some obvious, some harder to find.
Ramps, too, and also loads of unusual terrain, plus interactive roadside objects. Add to this the Call new revamped instant replay system' and things are beginning to sound very groovy indeed what with the proper degree view of the track allowing for panning cameras rather than just Cbehind the car' jobs.
But what about the actual track visuals? Where's the game set? Well, it sounds as if things are a bit more cosmopolitan this time around, not to mention surreal or naff - time will tell.
No longer are we confined to the States, because the programmers, and I quote: have taken areas of the world that they believe would provide a captivating driving experience, and have compressed all the distinctive characteristics of these regions - much like a caricature - into the courses.
In other words, they've done stuff like take Sydney Harbour Bridge, the Opera House and the desert roads of the outback and spliced them into the Australian track. Likewise they've taken twisty mountain roads, ice caves, Tibetan villages, swinging rope bridges and scrunched them all into the Himalayan Track.
If England's in there, I bet you a zillion pounds that Big Ben will feature. And the cars themselves? Eight supercars, some of which are actual production vehicles, some of which are Cconcept' cars. If the early code we've seen is anything to go by, TNFS2 looks to be shaping up very nicely indeed.
Not only will it sport all of the playability of the first game, but the developers claim that it'll run around 30 per cent faster in glorious hi-res and will also feature extensive multi-player and Internet modes. I can see those pile-ups now. The Need for Speed 2 is the follow-up to perhaps the best arcade racing game to come along in several years. In order to fully understand this review, you must separate in your mind arcade racers like this one from racing simulations.
Racing sims are aiming to provide the most realistic driving experience imaginable. Not so with the Need for Speed games. The main point here is to drive The true test of this sequel, then, will be a direct comparison to its predecessor. And trying to improve upon a great game is a daunting task indeed. The best thing about the original Need for Speed is its wildness. How exhilarating it is to whip around a corner and smash into an RV head-on, flipping bumper-over-bumper ten times before you come to a rest then having the option to watch the whole thing on your replay video.
Of course, it's better when your friend passes you first -- then you watch him get thrashed and flip over your head as you continue on to win the race.
But either way you end up laughing your guts out at the sheer craziness and excitement of the whole experience. Unfortunately, Need for Speed 2 tones down the fun recklessness. It's harder to flip your car in NFS 2, and when you do manage it, you'll maybe flip once or twice and then start over with a fresh set of wheels. Remember in Need for Speed when you crashed head-on and you got a great side view camera shot of your car flipping and flipping off into the sunset?
You'll miss it here, no doubt about that. It seems like the designers of Need for Speed 2 went for a little more realism, but the result is a little less fun. The feel of driving the cars is fairly similar to that in the original, with a few notable exceptions.
The handling of the cars in general is more touchy, and it's frustratingly easy to spin out and then spin out again trying to correct yourself. I don't like to spin out, especially in a close race.
Not to say this wasn't an issue with NFS, but there it was more a matter of getting back on the road and out of the rough, not figuring out which way you should be going. Granted, NFS 2 includes a warning light that blinks if you head the wrong way, but why should you need it? Yet perhaps my biggest disappointment with NFS 2 was its complete lack of road courses. In the original, you had a few tracks, and then you had the roads Alpine, City, Coast. I had a lot more fun driving the roads, especially in a head-to-head match with oncoming traffic.
You can choose to have oncoming traffic in the NFS 2 tracks, but it's not the same. You can't do that in a track race. Enhanced, no doubt about it. This is really the only major revision that stood out enough to get my attention. Of course, the graphics in the original NFS were outstanding for its day two years ago! The overall look is crisper, the animation smoother, the colors richer, and the details more noticeable, even on my lowly Diamond Stealth The only bad part is that there are no pixelated deer standing by the side of the road for you to try to turn into roadkill didn't anyone ever make a patch that would allow you to hit those deer in the NFS Alpine track?!
This is EA we're talking about, so as you can guess, the sound is outstanding. You can switch it to inside the car, near backside or slightly far outside of racing car. Gaming controls and music is very good. Secondly the gameplay is very engaging.
I have personally tried to install the setup. It works fine on XP and Windows 7. But Windows 8 is not compatible. So excited to play? It is highly compressed. The setup is complete and full working. It is resume able direct link for NFS 2. Ignore BK's guide as it has some issues and is outdated. You can get a key for the game online or use a Keygen. Step 2: Install the 1.
In most cases, it'll be a matter of just running the executable and the patch will install itself super-fast without having to do anything. Step 4: Install the Widescreen Fix for the game, which also fixes some issues and allows you to properly play with a controller. It'll work on its own, but you can tinker with the settings, found in the 'scripts' folder, if you need to and know what you're doing.
If you have issues with the game crashing when entering shops and stuff like that, open the. Step 6: Run the game. It should be at your desktop resolution by default, and if you plan on using a controller you really should change the controls. When rebinding them, don't be confused by the button that shows up; the inputs will be set to whatever you pressed, even if it displays a completely different button. Step 7: Profit. Ideally you should be good to go.
I recommend adding a couple more mods, particularly Extra Options, to fix up other problems the game has and get more out of the game. There you go! If the game still doesn't work for you, then pray to the old gods or do some ritualistic dance: there's no further help I can give you at this point. Jimmy J 0 point. When I try to launch the game with the new speed2.
I'm on Windows 10, what can I do to run the game? Even then, sometimes the game crashed while playing, but it happened rarely so i guess it's tolerable, just save after every race. Uhm so yeah i do not know why or how but the NOcD patch dose not work for me. I did intaled as the comentator BK said, and the application just closes it's self in a second. Any help? If anyone is on low spec trying to run this and need more Frames per second, turn off High contrast and overbright settings, biggest fps killers, and to be honest the game looks better without them :.
Zephyr -2 points. Forget it, I have found da wae, follow BK instructions, I didn't try playing without the patch, but probably it will run without it. Zephyr 2 points. BK 22 points. Mount images 2. Install game 3. When asked for key enter eyyq-xenr-uy2L-cxzs-5dcc 4. Copy the speed2. Launch, configure your graphics settings and enjoy the game Notes: If you want to put a copy of the game on another computer, simply copy the entire Need for speed Underground 2 folder after doing all the above onto a external USB, then you can simply copy to anywhere on the other computer or you can simply run the game from the USB stick.
More notes: Game tested and works on Windows 7,also runs on Linux with wine but I recommend doing all the above and then simply copy the installation folder to USB, then in Linux change directory to the Game and simply run the speed2. Some Linux crashes were observed, while this can happen, it does not happen all the time and could be limited to only my setup.
Enjoy :. Misfit: You need to download the nocd patch on from this page and copy over the Speed2. Misfit 0 point. So I got it to install, but everytime I try to launch the game, it says I need to insert the correct disk.
I tried launching it with both ISOs opened, and tried each open alone and it keeps saying it.
