This sounds cool. I liked HP2, and yeah the whole flaming barrel shit was retarded and the catch-up cheat the other cars have is stupid, but I played through the whole thing and was very entertained. I liked the sense of speed the game had no matter how faked it was.

I still have to check out Auto Modellista sometime, I've heard thats pretty good for a console racer.

It better be as fun to race at high speeds as Burnout 2: Point of Impact, with a graphics engine that doesn't suck goat nuts.

Hot Pursuit didn't really do it for me. The courses were cool, and the selection of cars was neat, but the "fantasy" racing aspect of it didn't really hook me.
I'm sure this game will be a solid arcade racer, but just 20 cars doesn't really do anything for me. Seems a little thin, compared to the other racers out there and soon to be out there.

Well, EA has proven to me that they know what car/racing enthusiasts are looking for: flaming barrels from the sky! I just can't wait.

They could make a LOT of money if they made a NASCAR-style simulation, only with the exotic cars/locations and solid dedicated server based multiplayer... even if the realism was scalable (tho i'd prefer just giving people automated option rather than force different server settings altogheter... i.e. automatic clutch, or transmission, etc..)

YESSS... Finally, two of my all-time favorite racing games come into one:

NFS: HP2 and Auto Modellista.

Take the awesome graphics and outrageous speeds of NFS and add all the customizations of Auto Modellista....

Hell yeah, I'm definately buying this one.
