Just got this the other week, only got round to installing it the other day and i need some tips on the races. When im in a race and i have to get to point B i keep getting lost, every corner looks the same and theres no gps or anything, and the map is rubbish!

If you're in a race, if you need to make a turn your indicator will flash, you'll hear a 'bong bong bong' noise and there will be a flashing road sign at the top of the screen showing where to turn. If this isn't happening, go straight on!

cheers

I have to say first impressions of this game were bad, i didnt like it at all, after setting everything up and finally winning races (cheers Kenai

) its pretty good, especially like the rage races where you takedown the other cars

It is a little confusing at first to get into , but after a while you get used to it and it becomes a lot of fun!

yeah i thought this must be the only racing game i was rubbish at, i never even noticed the flashing street names showing which way to go before!

Yep it's a pretty good game. Even more awesome is the fact that EA gave it to me free :cool:

how come?

Back when it was on offer in the EA store, I repeatedly tried to buy it. The payment process kept on failing for no reason (like others mentioned on these forms, so it seemed a common problem), so I shot their support an email and complained about it. They responded by adding the game to my EA downloader account.

After they gave me Burnout my profile had a problem connecting with Burnout's servers. I asked them about that, wondering if it was caused by me (I thought maybe I'd configured my account wrongly or something), and they added another game - Need for Speed Undercover.

I kid you not.

EA are the best games company at the moment for quality of games output and bloody marvellous support.
