	I must be one of the first out here to have actually gone out and purchased The Need for Speed CD FULL version.  Here 
is my review :

	The movie segments are outstanding, and reminiscent of a TV show or commercial.

	The graphics are excellent, also.  I am running a Pentium 60 w/ a quad speed, and 24 megs of RAM.  A Pentium 90+ is 
recommended, but I did run this game FULL detail, with 16-bit sound with NO problems!

	The game IS fun, and pleasing to look at.  But it is missing a few features :

	There should be a time of day/weather condition selection,
	
	Though the accident scenes are outstanding, there is never any lasting damage to your car.  VERY unrealistic, and there 
is no toggle control for damage/no damage.  It is just NO DAMAGE!

	The control is awful.  I am using Gravis gamepads (Nintendo-like).  Maybe that could be the culprit, but it is rather difficult 
to drive.

	
	The game is designed by Road&Track, and I think one of its goals is to present 8 of the hottest cars out there is a 
fun/simulation way.  They did accomplish this, but there are still a few voids to be filled...

	If you just have the pirated version, which I heard there were problems and many limitations with, and you enjoy it, by all 
means spend the $40 for the full version.
