I played NFS: P for hours yesterday. I accomplished no school work. Not smart.
But it's kinda fun. 3 different transmissions modes, auto, manual, manual with clutch. The third takes some getting used to but It's the most fun.
In the drag race you're outfitted with slicks. And before the race you have to warm them up with a burnout.
There is damage and if you continually damage your car it gets totalled.......
It's fun.
Okay, now I'll go type a few papers...
EDIT: And the game starts off in Chicago with a 240SX! And if you win the first drag event you win a Civic hatch boosted with slicks..........
