Hey Ghal,
When will "The Fast And The Furious" Be Back up. I've been itchin' to play for the last 2 days, and when I go to play, Bloop, its not there. Oh, and as an Idea, I think you should come up with a sort of loan shark that lets people withdraw a certain amount of money to start, and if they don't pay that money back in X amount of time, there car gets seized by the shark, and they lose all their money, and if they come up with enough money to pay for the rest of their car that wasn't payed off, they get their car back. Its just a suggestion that i was thinkin of last night before I fell asleep.

I must ask, what is it that is so appealing about that game. Sure, it looks pretty. Sure, it is based on a movie that appeals to 14-year olds. But, the gameplay is almost nonexistent. From what I've seen, it's very, very primitive. You tap a button to 'race' and watch. Aside from that, you 'buy' a car, and some stuff to put in/on it. Oh, you can try your hand at this slalom type of race, but that is usually ruined by lag. The races are heavily ruined by the slightest lag as well.

Please, tell me why you are so anxious to play.

OneFishDown	My game doesn't lag (being single-player I'd hope it doesn't) and you always have someone to race against (AI opponents). You can buy cars and upgrade them, but the focus is on the racing (and the cool menus). I'm not really plugging my game, just pointing out its existence =)

Game is down problem

I've been working on my computer over the weekend, plus I've been out and about. Give me some time, and why do you bring issues like this to the forums? Just e-mail me or post it on the forums on my webpage.

Gameplay problem

I've been working on that issue. Problem is my computer doesn't like me, and I can't get time away from everyone asking questions and requesting features long enough to add to the game.

Lag problem

I'm working on this. Running WinXP with only 128MB of RAM isn't exactly good. My computer won't accept any memory (and I mean ANY) I have thrown at it thus far. Once I fix that, lag = dead.
