New Need for Speed Demo

A demo has been released for Electronic Arts' Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit II. It weighs in at just over 92M. Blue provided links to mirrors on FileShack, FilePlanet, and 3D Gamers. As you might expect, the mirrors are still tied up. Once the mirrors cool off, I'm going to try to snag this one. I haven't played a good racing game in a while.

The Master comments: I played the original Need for Speed on my old P90 a long time ago. Decent game, but I hate racing against perfect computer drivers. Nothing more annoying than watching the computer shoot the tight turn at full speed every time and never being able to duplicate the feat myself :-/ I'm sure Eeyore will enjoy a fresh racing game.

A.T. Hun comments: The game is pretty fun. Even with all the options cranked, it runs very smoothly on my system at 1024x768. Still, steering with my Gamepad or the keyboard really doesn't do the game justice. Of course, I could learn not to floor it and oversteer all the time . . .
