Was in my local Gamestation just the other day, and noticed preorder copies of Need for Speed: Most Wanted. Never played any NFS before Underground, so was more acustome to the way Underground was set and played out. And for the record, i really enjoyed Underground. Not so much with it's sequel, but then again i never really gave it much of a chance.

Anyway, with Most Wanted being brought to my attention, i remembered the demo being released a week prior. I scrurried home to download it and give it a shot. I was slightly disappointed not seeing the same setting as Underground, but you can only have so much of that before it becomes repetitive and tedious i suppose. So i did a few races, mucked about with the new features etc. and i have to say, i'm not to impressed. It's a great looking game, although it suffers from the pixelated road Underground 2 had, but it just didn't feel all that "smooth". Hard to describe it, but the words that spring to mind are "bitty", "bumpy" and, funny enough .... "off-centre". To be honest, i don't even know what they mean myself, but i do know i didn't get the thrill out of as i did from Underground.

Bring back the shiny nightlife of Underground, i say!
