What did you like so much about the game, and how would you make it even better? 🙂
Not sure if this post is still active or being monitored by admin. But I love NFSU2 so much I have to leave a comment here. I love NFSU2, not just because of the style and story. but more because of the cars and the driving experience.
I like the way the cars handled and responded in NFSU2. Braking, weight transfer, handbrake, lift-off, there are much more than one way of making the car turn. It was somewhat realistic yet not being excessively challenging. It was entertaining. Cars felt agile and controllable, it felt like I was in control of the car, and I could drive the car the way I wanted to, I also love the fact that in the U2, tuning actually made a difference to how the car handled and responded. This add another layer to the depth of game play. The driving mechanism in NFSU2 has way more depth than just "looking cool" (i.e. easy drifting through every single corner), it brought joy to me just driving cars in the game, which IMH is what racing games should be. Through all of NFS games I've played, the handling or car control of the U2 was by far my favourite and IMH the best. This brings me to my problem with recent NFS games - the car handling felt mono-toned, and all cars felt the same. They felt like bricks that can drift. The car control part is too easy and very soon it gets boring. The customisation part of recent NFS games, notably the Heat, certainly took a BIG step over the U2, but I can't help thinking what a GREAT game the Heat would be if it has a car handling trait or mechanism like the U2.
The career progress is also perfectly judged. It's challenging enough without being overly difficult, and the progress is rewarding. Through the at least 10 time I've went through the game, never once did I feel that the career mode was boring, even in the context of much richer storylines of modern NFS games.
So please, EA, PLEASE bring back NFSU2, or the driving feel/experience of NFSU2. Or at the very least a new age video remaster will suffice. I miss the feel of the car control in NFSU2 so much that when I have time, I still go play the game just to free roam and feel the car. EA, I'm begging you.
