what was boring in nfs:u was that what you could buy was limited(for the time it kept me intrested I could practically buy every addon i was 'allowed' to.. loving the street rod spirit that majorly sucked).

Better UI? by jpop32 · 2004-10-27 23:31 · Score: 3, Informative

What I'd like to know is did they upgrade their god-awful UI and game menus?

I'm having a real hard time thinking of a game that had a worse user interface and menu navigation. It sucked beyond belief. A menu system 10 levels deep and sometimes over 20 chioces on each level, and all you can see is the current selection and two immediately next to it. A nightmare. The person responsible should suffer public humiliation.

The game looks like they spent two years on developing gameplay (which is great, unless you play as a single player, but I won't go into that), and then hacked the menu system in two days.
