Oh I know, I absolutely LOVE it (demo only though, not released over
here), good for a quick blast here at the office over the LAN with some
of the "guys", I was just poking at the fact that we have a drivers view
in an RC car game/sim :-)

I'd like to think we are mostly ***s here. It really doesn't hurt that bad
to admit when you are wrong. Sure beats the hell out of getting a flame war
started.

Are you kidding?

How can anybody who regularly drives ANY kind of automobile not get some
kind of visceral pleasure from firing rockets at another vehicle?

Re-Volt is a great distraction...

At least for a little while. ; )

I had the same 'feeling' with Lego racers and Revolt. I don't like the
constant and very sudden changing of positions, which I noticed in
both Lego Racers and in Revolt.
But hey, I'm a GPL fanatic, so maybe I don't see things that clear
anymore :)

In some games you don't get 125 laps to change positions. :)
