Dominate Need for Speed (Undercover) and Still Lose

December 22, 2008 – 10:05 am

Dictionary.com defines dominate in the following ways:
1) to rule over; govern; control.
2) to tower above; overlook; overshadow

As I was racing today, I owned one of the longer races by completing it in 5:17. The “time to beat” in order to gain domination status was 5:38. It seems to me that when one “dominates” a race there should be no way for the computer to beat you. Wrong. I beat the domination time by 21 seconds and still came in second. Ridiculous.
