Anyone tried the Demo. It's on my list to do tomorrow, I'm hearing some good things about it.

Very good stuff, game user interface is disaster though(if you ask me), otherwise, very good game indeed.

 

Edit > Game does not like ATi cards(low performance), maybe some patch will fix it, or new drivers. I have nVidia 9600GT and with budget AMD X2 CPU(2,3Ghz) it runs smoothly with some details cut.

I'm having problems of installing the demo. I d/led the demo from 2 sites, one of them was the offical site for NFS. I kept getting this error that a 'binkwl.dll' file is missing. I doubt it that 2 sites have a corrupted file. Any ideas?

That's the Bink movie player, which many games use for cutscenes and intro movies. Maybe try DLing and installing the latest version from Bink's site, if it's available?

Well I checked the site, I can't seem to find the D/L section. Well I found it but didn't work. I'm at loss here...

You can delete the demo and install insted GTR2 a more acurate and more realistic racing simulation.. NFS is mainstream sh*** :drinks:

The Race 07 demo on Steam is very good, and GTR Evo, which replaced GTR2, is an expansion for it.

I've not played any of the recent NFS games, the last was in the 90s I think, the one before the Porsche-only release!

I think they appeal to different segments. Simbin's Race/GTR/GTL is on the sim side, NFS is on the mainstream side without being pure arcade. It's all in what you want.
