I got into the NFS series at Underground only for the online scene. I bought NFSU:2, and while it seemed to have some improvements over NFSU, the online for it sucked. No chatroom lobby's is lose. NFS:C was even worse;it takes forever to find a game or get the players to start one, the lag is always bad, and there are cheaters everywhere. You can have a fully decked out T3 car with T3 upgrades and someone will somehow always be twice as fast as you.
The thing I liked about NFSU was that it was nice to log on and be able to find the same people to race with in the same chatroom if you enjoyed playing with them. It was also great how you set track records in ranked and compete for the topspot nationwide, and when people saw you they knew you were a badass. I am all about the community and competition, and can look past minor problems with a game as long as the online for it is good and there's plenty of competition.
It really seems like the racing genre has been going stale for me lately. Would anyone be able to recommend a good online racer? I'm not limited to just the PC, but I am thinking about getting an Xbox360 and own a PS2.
