I guess car modding is all about having a unique car for most poeople, plus it's a really interesting hobby if you know how to do it yourself. I just recently got my driving licence and once I get a car I'm going to look into modding cars as a new hobby, because up until now I haven't been able to get a car of my own so I've just been following car modding through magazines and videos.

Actually, a serious social comment/question;

'What is it with car modding?!'

Answer please.

Well I've been interested in car modding since I was about 10 years old, but I still think NFSU was a below average game. Sure I'll admit that I was drawn into it a little, but I soon realised that the actual racing itself was very shallow. Plus there wasn't even a replay mode to allow you to see your creations in action. However I'm keeping my eye on Juiced which is due out later this year, as it looks like it'll do a much better job.

As gaming becomes more popular to the general public, we'll end up with more below average stuff like NFSU, and the worst part is that they'll sell twice as more units as the really outstanding games. I mean the GC is a perfect example, it has some of the most original games available at the moment, but yet the PS2 sells way better even though most of it's games are pretty rubbish.

NFSU is so shockingly overrated, I could cry.

Good, Cube could do with Driv3r.

Honestly. I was playing PGR2 with some friends a few nights back, and I said 'it's the best racing game ever' in some passing remark.

Instant uproar - 'NAH! Need for Speed underground is way better!' and other such rubbish. Why? Well, apparantly, modding cars makes a racing game better, as does the different modes.....which rely on luck rather than skill (i.e drag racing - you need perfect button presses rather than racing) and PGR2 has in abundance...

What is it with car modding? People seem to be fixated by the whole idea...

I said that Burnout 2 was better (it quite clearly is a far far superior racing game) and that was greeted by jeers. Idiots.

I stand corrected. Although SR don't have it on their database.

Ok, now you really are exagerating. DD has some great tracks. Yoshi Circuit,

Now you're talking rehashes. Most of the games are rips of others. The only good one on there is Monkey Target, and that was screwed up in the second one anyway.

Best multiplayer on the cube?

Half-assed re-hashes of the better N64 levels = the best multiplayer on the cube?

Hell Cel Damage's levels are better designed.

As for best cube multiplayer: I'd pick one of the Monkey Balls.

Still short lived though.

I prefer it. That's not to say it's a better game, but I prefer Double Dash. And "dreadful"? Mario Kart 64 was never good enough to make DD seem dreadful - it's the best multiplayer on Cube.
