At last!! I got the game for Xmas and played pretty much daily for a couple
of hours at least, so at 2 months to finish, this is not a brag. More a sigh
of relief, because this game is seriously tough at the higher levels,
especially the Challenge series where you don't get to choose your weapon
(car). How I longed for my Porsche or DB9 while trying to get a lumbering
Merc through the tollbooths. :(

I loved the racing but generally sucked at avoiding the cops. NFSMW is far
from another Porsche Unleashed, but hey, there were some good times.

Congratulations and well done! I too am finding the Challenges much harder
than the actual Blacklist. Right now I'm struggling to finish Tollbooth's 37
and 39.

I have previously only played NFS2 (I think it was). When you say that MW is
"far from another PU" what do you mean exactly. Why was PU so good?

PU is absolutely brilliant and the pinnacle of NFS games, particularly from
an immersive point of view. You work your way from the oldest Porsche up to
the newest in "career" mode plus there is a "factory driver" mode where you
start as a rookie and have to get to the top. Get it, you won't be sorry.

Any idea if I can still download a demo of this from anywhere? (Just until I
can get the full version for a good (cheap!) price on Ebay :-) Thanks.
