wow... that's a long delay since the euro release. this game was ok... but IMO too many invisable walls which really started to piss me off. It's not as bad for corner bluring like NFSU was... but i was able to get over the visability issue in NFSU and enjoyed it way more then I did this NFS:PU release.

I had quite a bit of fun with this one when the (E) was released, but it still suffers from the problem that was also in NFS:UG where you just sometimes cannot see those corners! It's a lot of fun once you've memorised the track layout though and the graphics are incredible.

I'm still anticipating NFS:UG 2 on the GBA, I really want to see their improvements and hopefully they'll have listened and fixed the "hard to see corners" issue!

Sadly I think that this, and pretty much every other game that tries to do 3D on the GBA does not look good or play well. But, opinions are like arseholes, right?

I much rather the mode7 F-Zero/Mario Kart approach to racers on the GBA, they're much more fun. Especially being able to see upcoming corners..

i don't think you are an asshole believing this. it's common knowledge that 3D on gba is one of the most tricky things due to the limited processing capacity and the limited display.

I personaly like seeing the images side by side, instead of one on top of the other.

But I disagree that there arn't any good 3d games/racers on GBA. Good 3d Racers: V-Rally 3, Stuntman (but it is kinda tricky), Top Gear Rally (even though i don't like the tracks), NFS:U (except it has the corner issue... but i got over that). Good other 3d games: astrix & oblix xxl, 007 Nightfire, Ecks vs Sever 2 Balistic. 3d games on the GBA are possiable... but among the good 3d releases, there's more bad releases that arn't very well thaught out or they just cut corners and end up with a crappy game (look at MoH:Underground... eeew.)

    i thought everybody knew cocktails are like 75% ice
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Yeah but not like this.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's not like they're complaining that their Slurpee is 99% ice or something, but if the cocktail calls for "shot of vodka, shot of vermouth, shot of gin, shot of Campari, three shots of juice, squirt of lemon" and ends up being a thimbleful of booze, that's a problem.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    the funny thing is cocktails in norway are only allowed to have 1 20ml shot of booze
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    so..... yeah
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    we're used to only having a thimbleful of booze
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Booo.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    same thing if you want whisky on the rocks or something, you can't get a double
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but you could buy as many shots of whisky (or anything else) as you want and ask for a glass of ice and pour them in
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    it's dumb
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Maybe.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    There was a comparison of the number of Ibuprofen poisonings before and after they limited the maximum dosage per box or per pill (i'll look that up). No limit on the number of boxes you can still buy as many as you want, so people argued it was pointless.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    But the number of (accidental) poisonings dropped because drinking an entire package of ibuprofen pills went from "I need a new liver" to "I need a new box of Ibuprofen".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Here we have ketoprofen that used to be prescription-only because of the risk of toxic dosages, but then they halved the dose per pill and sell them in bottles of six pills apiece instead of twenty and it doesn't need a prescription any more. Yes you can buy more than one bottle but people simply don't.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Usually accidentally overdose of ibuprofen here is from people taking like cold medicine then ibuprofen for a headache and the combination is over what they need
