    The game runs surprisingly well on M11xR2! The game is capped at 30 FPS (every graphical settings @ low, looks good too :D),
    Recorded videos using FRAPS it's still able to maintain around 30 FPS so game on!

    It's the frostbite 2 engine. Judging from BF3's performance, I expect you will see some visible slowdown with tons of racers on screen.

    No car purchase, no tuneup or customize. I think I will ignore this game. The most disappointed game of 2011 for sure!!!

    Through eBay lol :x paid around MYR 100 for this incredible thing, <3 it!

    @APLT
    Depends on personal taste I think, Youtube is your best friend :D
    I think it is good but the gameplay is a little bit repetitive.
    Quicktime event in racing game? This is the first one :x

    @divineaura
    good for you the game can run at those fps.
    doubt r1 can run it since nfs hot pursuit lags alot during cops chase and crashes.

    Ah yeah NFSHP lags sometimes but the run looks smoother.
    Although sometimes it drops to 20 ish fps but it is rendered smoothly like red alert 3. So expect smoother gameplay than NFSHP.
