Anyone else in? Can't do much yet, customizing is not available yet.(only paint options) Graphics are pretty impressive.

Well, it is kinda like a cross between Most Wanted and Carbon, but I must say I had a lot of fun last night. The cop chases are crazy, and the engine sounds of these cars are quite impressive. The traffic cars are insane drivers, but it is fun smashing the traffic into each other.......... :smt044

Off to a poor start, I don't seem to be able to log in. Maybe they're just late turning it on? :( :-(

I actually got in and drove around for a while earlier. Had some fun races and got near level 5 but then sort of lost interest. I'll have to have another try tomorrow.

Logged on from work on my lappy, couldn't tune down the graphics enough to make it playable. Lag city.

Going to move the files over to my PC tomorrow, and give it a go.

I'm checking this out as well. Some of the races were fun, but it stopped awarding cash and xp, so i can't get anywhere. I guess i'll try again later, but it's a bit of a buzz-kill at the moment.

It was nice seeing a Charger available right from the start. Hopefully there's more of that as the game progresses.

On the downside - dropping into the world is kind of a mess. To just suddenly appear in the middle of a street with 20 cars ghosting through each other and a bunch of traffic cars piled up was a big WTF moment for me. I'm also bummed that i can't configure my joystick. Racing with a 360 controller is crap.

The functionality they have implemented at the moment is indeed pretty limited. Spawning everyone into the world in the same place does seem a little short-sighted too. I really don't like that you can't re-map controls at the moment. I too am using an xbox controller as a result and I have to take my hands off the controller entirely to activate any of the "power-ups" which is really inconvenient.

I agree that some of the races are fun but I can't say it has held my attention for more than an hour or so at a stretch. Let's hope there are more robust beta's in the weeks and months to come.

Heh - i got back into it and won some rep and $$$, but the end game stats screen still never resolved my name. I clicked on a mystery card at the end and it led to a big fat lock up. Good times...

I never got the files swapped to my game rig, so I didn't really get to try it out.

Another beta starting up later today. Sounds like it is going to last four or five days this time. Might be long enough to actually meet up with some of you guys this time!

Looks like I need to build a dual core for this, right?
