Crash Time 2 demo now on Live

Ellie says no don't do it.

Crash Time was rubbish. But there's a sequel nonetheless, and a European demo of it to ignore on Xbox Live.

Crash Time, based on German television show Cobra 11, casts players as detectives Semir and Ben, who proceed to tear up the autobahn in the name of the law. Maybe listening to Kraftwerk; it's Friday we don't have to be nice.

Sounds good. But the first game wasn't. It was so bad, in fact, that we had to buy our own copy for a very special Shame Train Roundup, written by the steely hand of Ellie "Ripley" Gibson.

Not the worst game to ever grace the console, but almost certainly one that doesn't warrant your money.
