I saw Whiplash by Interplay for the PC/CD today in the Wash DC area.  Didn't buy it though...  
Wanted to find out what others thought.  Is the game 640x480 or 320x200 ??  How is playability?  
The box screen shots looked hi-res, but I couldn't tell for sure.

Anyone out there got it?

It can be 640X480, if you have a fast enough computer.  I first
tried it on a dx4100, and it sucked. probably .5fps(yes, there
is a decimal point in front of that) in svga,
with everything off except car and road texture.  When I got
home to my P133, it was very smooth, and playable. So, don't
get it unless you have somthing pretty fast.

Get the demo of it Doug, before you buy it... I was going to get it
but after playing the demo and becoming bored with it, I decided
against it.  Your opinion my vary of course...demo's are free and
easily returned if you don't like them...

SC

its both VGA(320x200) and SVGA(640x480)
depends on yer computer's speed, slower computers work best with only
2 or 8 cars on the tracks but faster computers can handle 16 on the track at
one time. The stunts and jumps are nothing but fun fun fun
sure, how else do you promote yer game except with the best graphics
it can produce even though not everyone has a Pentium. :) but VGA runs
fine on my DX2-80 with 8 cars on the track.

I'd like to check out this "Whiplash" game but I haven't had
any luck trying to down load it from Interplay's server.  Does
anyone know where I could get a copy of the demo?
