Must be a bad copy, nobody else has said this at all.

Also, about how long should it take for a map to load in PGR3? It seems to take a signifigant amount of time, exceeding the average load time for something on the PS2 which was one of the features of the PS2 that led me into the MS realm

mayb ur 360 is faulty?

I've done beat nfsmw and never had no choppyness like your describing. I dont think I have had any real choppness at all.

ya know, i was seein the same thing when i tried the demo of that.  thought it might be a framerate issue, but to me it really looked like its sposed to be that way.  i think its the bumpiness of the road and makes the car hop, or something.  either way, it seemed unplayable to me, and i was surprised it got such good reviews.

on the other hand, i was finishing PDZ last night, and wow, the framerate in that game goes horribly wrong in the last levels.  geez....it was pretty dam bad.

This happened with my friends 360, though not to the extent you describe. It is very noticeable though. He would drift into a turn and you could see the screen tear and lag.

Just a bad port I think.

It doesnt seem to make sense that it would be a bad port(if by port you mean the adaption of this game to be used on the 360). Since noone else is experiencing this issue to the extent which I am im starting to think I may just have a bad copy of the game. Ill take it back to Sams Club and exchange it for the same game and see if it solves the problem. It is not just one of two frames it is extremely choppy and is in addition to the design of the game with the car hitting bumps and such. I have this game on PC and it is a very fun game so I would hope its just a bad copy.

I have the game and have had no problems.

BTW, why would one game make you lose your 360 appetite?

Well, When you spend $480 on a system+controller and then tack on another $60 for the game and the game jumps all over the screen as if I was playing on a 400mhz E-machine it makes me feel like I wasted my money.(at least(unarguably) $60)

[zerosignal0]

Well sucks to be you because that game runs brilliantly on mine... I really do think you have a bum system or that its overheating... You know about elevating the power supply and all the junk right?

Im gonna take a wild guess and say he's perturbed that he paid 300-400bux for a game system and another 60bux for a game, and it doesnt work as he intended.

Just a hunch though.

This is why the Xbox 360 is going to have problems once we start seeing an abundance of supply.  Your average person is not going to ever consider doing this and is going to attribute the problem to the system and not ever consider a 'trick' to get their console to work properly.

I wasn't intending to flame you, just trying to put some perspective on this.  If you were playing COD2 and other games and enjoyed them, I personally would't say sour grapes to the whole system because one game is effed up. (but i'd be pissed about the $60)  Exchange the disk for one that works.  If the problem persists call that 1-800# and get a new one.

Lets first get this straight.  NFS has a weak frame rate.  If you played PGR before this you'll be quite disapointed . While it is a fun game at times, the game could have really used a few more weeks in the oven.

NFS runs at about 20FPS.  It often waivers and sometimes drops below 15.  For a racing game, that sucks. It really sucks after playing PGR running at 60FPS.

Some people don't notice it as much as others.  Those of us with big HDTVs can realy pick up on it.

[lowendfrequency]

When are people going to stop pointing fingers at the hardware and blame who's actually at fault (the game developers) ?   If your 360 renders graphics without freezing up, then it's working fine. People that think returning a game for a new copy is going to fix any of their problems must have hit their head while falling down the stairs on the short bus.
