I haven't played it yet, but from what I saw, it reminded me a lot of Paradise?

Yeah, it's similar to Paradise. It's made by the same guys. I've played through the first part and it's pretty good.

Good game being subjective.

I wish I could mute Alice now because I'm tired of her nagging me to spend more credits. lol

Not sure. I never tried doing that.

My internet has been down since Saturday

But it was up last night, so now you should be able to see my achievements. I see you and Mynd have numbers up on the leaderboards. I have some work ahead of me

I understand where you are coming from. Don't get me wrong, I love the game and the features and look forward to playing more of it. Might end up being one of my favorite racing games, that is arcade style...though PGR still holds that candle for me. BUT, what is the game trying to be, that is a good question. The ONLY thing I am not liking right now is that it is indeed geared toward the younger generation with the OMG achievements, the storyline, and the menu/hud graphics, fonts and background beat.

But take away those, the actual game play is awesome.

Now, who was hanging out in fucking stupid land when they decided to have dialog boxes pop up in the middle of the screen, at an angle.....but have the "skittle" buttons that you need to choose from for that dialog box down in the bottom lower left of the screen. Sometimes I sit there waiting, thinking it will go away. I don't realize it needs my interaction.

FAIL design there.

I hear you Soldier, i do like the gameplay and graphics are quality

**mynd** · 11-07-2012

I'm really enjoying the rival races and the whole speed camera traps etc.

I really like the live integration it doesn't feel like a tack on rather it feels like an integrated part of the games that's seamless. Nothing like racing pasts a speed camera to be told you've just kicked rads butt.

Same feeling I get when I've been told I kicked mynds butt. Been playing a fair amount online MP now. Just turned level 30 and getting free cars and cash.

Ok guys...I am on a roll now. Been rockin' this campaign like it's nobody's business. Loving the game so far. Hating the UI, but loving the game. I got tired of the DJ too, and turned him off. Music was good for awhile, but now it repeats, so I have resorted to custom soundtracks, thank you very much!

I swear to god though, I can't figure out this damn barn thing

**DeviousOne** · 11-08-2012

My cousin just bought the game imma going to try it out tomorrow and play it.

If its as good as everyone says ill be picking up an Xbox360 lol

Thanks for adding those cars to our club garage. I added a couple as well. I got the treasure map which shows me where the barns are as they get announced so I now have all the barn finds. Wish I could help you there.

**Soldier 95B** · 11-08-2012

Thanks Rad! And thanks for adding the cars!

Well, I found a couple barns...but I can't figure out how to get to them with the fence in the way. AND I think I found one and drove up to it, ran into it, etc and nothing happens?

You have to wait for that chick to tell you about each one as you progress through the game.

You can only go to them when they announce them in the radio, yup the one you switched off lol. I think it interrupts you any way and tells you. But basically if an area as a light grey circle on you map, there is a barn open. And if you can't get to a barn, it's likely not the barn you're looking for.

Thanks guys! Yeah, I saw the light little circle on the map when they notify me...I think they told me 3 times now. But I can't find a DAMN one of them. DON'T MAKE ME USE YOUTUBE to figure out these bitches!

I have been beating you guys in some rivals, speed traps and the like. Check your messages
