AVOID AVOID AVOID!!!

I just gave it a try - I chose 'Dutch Track' which is an extremely
poor done version of Zandvoort - the layout hardly is like the real
one, and no, the real Zandvoort is NOT shattered with windmills!

I won my first race on my first try, with the AI on the hardest level.
About 2 minutes margin on number 2. On a 6 laps race :-/

Then I turned on the force feedback.. The game started and I didn't
know how fast I should press the escape key since my Momo started to
make REALLY scary sounds!

Ofcourse, the physics are laughable.

Utter crap. Shame of my $1 cd.

I didn't expect it to be much since 1) it is a Hot Wheels game, and 2)
it is by THQ. :)

This is a statment I still dont undertand...

I gave the MBTR Zolder-demo a try and found it to be more or less utterly
crap...

Could someone please enlighten me on what was so great with MBTR ?

It's quite realistic *and* it's also fun.  Some people will hate the fact
that you can't go faster then 100mph, but it is really challenging.  You
have to perfect your corner entry and exit, it needs total concentration to
push the truck to it's limit.  The tracks are pretty cool, also.

Keeping the good stuff for yourself, are you?

I heard that they are demolishing it or as you Dutch would say
"shattering it with windmills". Pretty fragile stuff, eh?

Ah, but you are fast. A disgusting hotlapper, I suppose
he-who-has-gone-into-hibernation-to-think-of-a-way-to-return-in-style
would say.

Wow! Mapping the engine to the wheel for that real sensation of idling!

'sno GPL, then? Except to he-who-is-not-to-be-stirred-from-his-slumber?

Cheers,
Jens

P.S: I'll stay away. Thanx for the advice!
