PressureCooker2600 Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 EGADS!!!! This version blows. You're either going WAY TOO FAST or WAY TOO SLOW....take your pick. Either way, it's a catch 22. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vdub_bobby Posted January 25, 2008 Author Share Posted January 25, 2008 35,660 I always stink big time on the boat scene for some reason! XD I've also always found the boat scene very tough! I think because some of the objects (reefs?) are stationary so they come at you very fast - and I think the boat reacts a little slower than the car. But I think only a specific path will take you to the water; you can avoid it completely (and indefinitely) if you want. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lauren Tyler Posted January 26, 2008 Share Posted January 26, 2008 True, but if the reefs don't get me, the tire slashers on the road do. 40,155 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gdement Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 (edited) I didn't expect to do very well, but on my 3rd try I suddenly did way better. I think the key is to figure out which paths will give you the oil slick. After I was left with missiles and smoke it was harder to survive. It got more exciting when my power went out at 40k, creating a race against my UPS battery. Luckily the power came back. 56,200 Edited January 28, 2008 by gdement Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
