I got it...and this game is a lag fest.

1) Right after install no menu icons showed, (fix is to download patch for xp)

2) When ever I drive car game laggs for 1 second and 2 second it runs fine and then 1 second lag, and continue

If there is no patch for this, better to get GT3 for PS2, this is a waist of money.

Ps I couldn't find patch....
WinXP pro
GF4 4400 (128mb ram)
xp2000+ (1.67Ghz)
SBLive 5.1

Edit

It seems that those slow downs are coused by one of those video options. Turn options off, no slow downs. (Which option, I don't remember)

Performance tip:

Copy all the radio chatter and music MP3 onto your harddisk... helps stuttering alot!

Well, this thread got me curious so I went bought the game yesterday. I am not having any troubles with performance, but the game is just lousy, IMO.
I did the first Luigi mission and after tried to drive to portland harbor to get more and got there but no clue as to how to get a mission. Spent 45 minutes of driving around and got nowhere.

By far and away the worst game I have ever purchased.

What comes to TNT2, I've had one and at Cel 566@850, there was a huge difference between TNT2 and Radeon 64mb.
Radeon is like twice better.
in AH, flying through smoke caused FPS to fall below 10, while Radeon was 40fps and even with whole field smoking, Radeon was keeping +20 fps.
It is at 566mhz, where Radeon and TNT2 comes "closer" in performance.

Now that we have R8500, GF3, GF4.. well, TNT2 is like lada parked aside brand new BMW.

Might just take ya up on that moose. Heck, paid $50 farkin bucks for this lousy game. Any return would be better than tossin it in the trash, which is where it almost ended up last night.
