But the game-woah. NFS may have some real competition. I also didn't like the music that much. But the game-woah.

Finally a racer which does use real rock/metal songs, no loops, no electronic stuff and no modern country rock crap. Love the music!

NFS is an arcade racer through and through, while this looks to be more of a sim style racer. If anything, NFS should be compared with Firemint's Fast and the Furious Pink Slip (in which case EA has it's work cut out for it), while this game should be compared more to Ferrari GT and Fastlane. As for the music...I don't mind it. For those that do, there'll probably be an option to turn it off. As is, I don't think it'll effect the enjoyment of the game too much. Reminds me not only of Sega/AM2's Ferrari F355 Challenge in that regard: sim based racer with godawful butt rock music. People shouldn't really compare this with NFS.

Why do all racing game developers assume their players are mindless heavy metal drones?!?! Driving a performance or racing car the only sound you should hear (sadly lacking in the demo video) is the engine and screeching tyres etc.... not that dirge you've chosen to put in it. So I really hope you will have good, realistic car sounds and have the option of turning the thrash metal off!!! Apart from that the game looks very good and I will definitely check it out when it comes out. Yep, agree with the others – the music is dire!!!

I'd sooner shoot myself in the head than listen to such dross. The licensed music they boast about in the video is mind blowingly awful.
