less per screen than Michael Moore's full length rant about the culture of violence in the US

which is being shown on what, three screens nationwide? ;)

Still you're right though. Must stop being so cynical. /slaps self on wrist

Maybe we shouldn't damn an entire nation on the basis of it's loudest occupants..

What ARE you talking about? Of course we should.

/back on topic ;-)

Hm, 9/10, that good then? I dunno, I just didn't like the demo. What has finally put me off is that I have read in several reviews the "dam" level which is included in the demo would be one of the best, if not the best level. I am tempted by the multiplayer bit though, especially the coop single player. Any comments thereto of people who have played it?

Ah, decisions, decisions. There's also CMR3 out in a few days, but then I didn't really like the demo of that one, too. Maybe I should just buy nothing. :-(

"CMR3 out in a few days, but then I didn't really like the demo of that one" - same here, I thought the XBox demo was shite, especially graphically, but after reading various 'first looks' and first impressions it may just be the CMR3 demos that are poor.

Exactly, the graphics (landscape, not the car) look so dull and uninspired that it's just no fun to drive through them. The admittedly washed-out, but nonethelss somehow photorealistic graphics of WRC (have only played the demo) looked much better, not to mention RSC.

edit: I really don't think it's only the demos, cause even a little polishing here and there won't help much. Unless they have completely changed the engine.

UncleLou,
Just buy it it's a great game.
Graphics, Story mode and the enemy AI are a teesy bit of let down, could have done much better than the standard cannon fodder, headless chicken lark. Story mode is a bit too brief.
However, this is more than made up for with the Arcade, Challenge, Multiplayer and Map Maker options. It ain't a Halo beater but it's pretty damn close.
*edit* the other bit of a let down was the use of, lack thereof, 5.1 surround sound. Suppose we were spoilt with it's abundant use in Halo. Sound track is pretty good specially on the UFO level, very Prodigyesque.

All in all though it does deserve the praise it's been getting all over the place.

just to get back some focus to what ever it is being discussed as ya know you cannot have diversifying discussions in the same thread as it stops me from sounding very important indeed when infact all I have to say is something thats already been said quite a few times before.....[end sarcasm]
If there is one thing that I like about this site is the fact that the thread might start off as one thing and by the end its changed into something else, which makes this place very entertaining....and anyone who just thinks that a particular thread should only contain elements in relation to that are a very sorry bunch indeed...give me diversity than narrow mindedness.....

Bought the Gamecube version and find the c-analog stick a bit twitchy for my liking. Some graphic differences to the PS2 version is some detail texturing on certain surfaces (the Xbox version would/ should have the feature too), but apart from that the versions seem identical.
