Am I the only one who finds this game bloody difficult to play? Maybe it's just my Logitech gamepad makes things more difficult but I find the steering damn hard to control, not to mention the opponent seems to drive considerably better than this n00b can >__>

Bah.. I think having a better computer might also help (ie. a decent framerate)- stupid laptop.

Hard No, I have only been playing this game for 3 days on and off already 25% complete up to 8 on the blacklist (street racers), some cars don't handle as well as others but for the most part control etc are easy. What do you mean you can't find the bus station it's huge and you can drive through it big glass building near a petrol station. The best since NFS: 3, oh the police chases. :D

yeah i like, cant find it... is it in the main part of rosewood? or is it over near the stadium? also a general location on the map would be helpful.

I don't really use the map so I can't really point you in the right direction their but it is at one of those connecting roads I don't think it is near the stadium but when your in a police chase it all seems close.

yeh, i've been playing for about 3 days and have done about 1/4 of the game already. Not too bad and loving it way better than underground. The soundtrack is good too.

Everything is pretty easy except for the cop chases - I hate it when you have overlapping police cars and speed spikes on narrow roads, you try to ram through, it doesn't work and then 5 or so police corvettes ram up your butt and you're traped. Small tip, always choose the mystery 'coin' on the right, then choose the one in the middle, most pinkslips are either those two.

Anyways, which cars do you mostly drive? I use the Dodge Viper for races and the Porsche Cayman for police chases (won it off the Baron).

finally found the bus station, i was in the wrong area.

police chases are probably the most fun bit of this game, but it frustrates me when you cant do anytrhing to shake em. around lvl3 i hardly ever escape the cops and usually end up busted unless i can make it to the stadium

i use the aston martin db9 for races and the cayman, viper, carrera S, carrera turbo, lotus elise (not much though since its too light for ramming road blocks and such) and the ford GT40 for the coppas

and whats with the bus station?..why is everyone looking for it?

Haven't finished yet, stopped playing after I got to 3rd on the blacklist cause I kept getting infuriated at always getting caught on level 5 heat, because you need so much bounty to get to race the next guy you have to have 20+ min cop chases which become close to impossible to escape from

31:30 and 37 speed spikes :p.

Minai, the best hiding space that always works for me is the university campus, drive around it a few times to lose the cops to about 2-3 cars, then enter the campus through the front (area with a bunch of uniformly planted trees and a small arch), keep on going and you should see a divide at the centre of the campus, go left, keep on going until you reach the class rooms, do a 180 and back track back to the divide, not all the way though, just out of the reach of the cops. There should be a glitch which stops the police cars from doing a 180 and following you, instead, they just keep on going. If you' don't get what I just said, I'll post a pic.
