I got the game too. The game locks up on my when I try to enter a race. I get into the game just fine. Even if I drop the settings(graphics) It still freezes on me. Anyone know why? I easily have the requirments for this game. 2.8 gig cpu, 1 gig ram, 64mb video.
Theres a patch for the game. Download it and try it.

Doesn't seem to be much improved over the first one, as far as the graphics engine is concerned.

Of course the menu structure and gameplay were changed quite a bit, for the better I think. But the "NPC" cars still look like sht..

Ditched this one because it doesn't handle great or go very fast...looks slick though.

lancer evoVIII...doesn't look like much but it's great for drag:

I'm on the 5th sponsorship with Bilstein, just spent around 30-40g's on that evo for drag.....the funny thing is that the game stats say that I've barely finished 50% of the game...

I'd say its a pretty fun game, but the music really sucks. The first actually had some good songs. The ones in NFSU2 are all... bleh.

I think they broke the tradition of good car racing games having good music... GTA:VC, NFSU, etc...

I updaeted my game already. It still crashes. I took the graphics down to nothing and the game loads plays for 5 sec and then crashes again. wtf!!! I'm going to have to go out and buy the console one now if this dosen't work. Any more ideas. I've updated my video card drivers all I could. I have a p4 2.8 1 gig ram, 64 mb mobile radion 9000. What's up????

I now have a fully upgraded Audi TT and Evo, a stupid escalade with all the options to increase star ratings and no performance gains, and a stock GTO that I don't have any money to play with.

I think there is a problem with upgrading cars. There is no real performance incentive to upgrade to a newer car, after you get soem decent ones. The Audi TT is just as good as the EVO that I got after signing the third contract.

I love the game, played it waaaay too many hours yesterday. It is much longer than NFSUG1, perhaps because they make you drive around to get from race to race, instead of just transporting you to the race location. This is interesting, and exploring allows you to find races that don't show up on your map, but eventually it gets annoying to take 5 mins to drive somewhere for a race, and then drive back for a magazine photo shoot or something.

I am at min visual settigns which SUCKS, but the game is still so much fun!

Very cool game, a lot of improvements and addons over the first one.

Right now have a 400ish HP Supra and am probabably done 50-70% of the game.

17th if I remember correctly.

Good game, those hidden races are much better since you get around 3 times as much money if you win. Also, when you drive around, you can challenge other racers, which I thought was interesting, but it was always the same type, maybe it changes later? I'm only around 18%... some of you play too much :cheesygri
