LOL! That's funny, Kevin...as if. I only write what I see, and I like it.
You don't have
to have the same opinion, I didn't see that it was mandantory that you
should feel like I do...

Yes? Like the gushing preview of NASCAR Revolution which hastily about
turned into a bad review of the final version? I don't remember too
much difference between them.

People in glasshouses...

I wasn't screaming at anyone. It's just obvious *from the demo perspective
anyway* that a few changes could have been made that would transform a good
sim into a great sim *before going gold*.
SCGT has some great potential and I'm looking forward to the day my copy
shows up on the doorstep.

Are you for real? Poor taste, not to mention unprofessional of another news
service.

Marc, This is not a slam in anyway but i was wondering if you guys update
your site anymore? I go there now and then but I have a feeling I might be
hitting the wrong section or something. Please let me know.

So, taking to insulting other websites, eh? Is this common practice now, or
is this just something that your site has decided to start doing?

In response, I will only say...

NI!

Kevin, I understand your point, but I *LIKED* the *DEMO*. You cannot expect
everyone to see everything the same, and I did mention some of the bad
points it has. If I waited to see what everyone else thought of it, then
wrote my review, what WAS the point of writing it? As well, if you can even
see a comparison between SCGT and NASCAR Revolution besides there are cars
and they have 4 wheels, I'll let YOU write the next review! ;] I don't
think anyone is going to be disappointed with the real thing as they were
with NR, they are not even in the same league.

Cheers!

So what would you conclude? Charging for a converter with bad
track.txts and AI doesn't go a long way toward endearing you to people
either!

As far as potential goes, I agree 100%. But this thing will need a
good patch before I consider buying it. Or some type of amazing
transformation from demo to final release.

Hmm, you said in your review, it's "the best modern day racing sim".
That's quite
a bit more than "to like" it, isn't it? I immediatly remembered the
verdict on
CPR on your site, it was a V8 (the highest mark), too...

Jan, have you been able to try the release version, and
if so, are your impressions of it present in the review?
