THE GOOD:
Cool gameplay & choice of cars.

THE BAD:
Really sloppy at time. Two Player is not good at all on keyboard.

SUMMARY:
I was earlier playing NFS II SE in my old machine. (Cyrix 333) and we really enjoyed racing one on one on a single machine , with the keyboard. Two player gameplay was really cool.

When I got my new macine (IP4 1.6, 64MB VGA YAY!!!) i moved upto nfsIII, NFSIV, NFS V PU and the best game I've played in my life, NFSVIHP2!!!.

Now the first on I got was NFSVIHP2, and it was really great. Cool graphics and a whole range of cars.

But when I got NFS IV from a friend, I was really disappointed. This was waht EA had to offer ? Geez.

OK, the selection of cars and tracks are OK, and the damage is also a bit realistis. But when I turned play the game using my favourite colour black, the reflections on the cars look really awful! I hated the graphics so I had to change colours.

THE GOOD:
Many tracks and cars to choose from. Great career mode.

THE BAD:
Hard to drive on some camera views. The way the camera moves during turns means that cars are really only drivable while looking from the driver's seat.

SUMMARY:
The driving physics of this game takes some getting used to, but once you have the hang of it, this game really shines. The tracks are challenging enough, and you have options to drive at night, during the rain, etc. There are also many cars in various performance classes, and you can download more cars from the net. The hot pursuit lets you play on both sides of the law. The career mode is also great. There's no better feeling than winning your opponent's car in a high stakes race! If you think that you're pretty good at racing games, this game will give you a run for your money. Another great NFS game!
