Based on the MP demo that came out, seems Xpand Rally isn't going to cut
the mustard sim wise.....

Did you try and set the 4wd bias to fwd only(100% front) and take it for
a spin? -absolute horrible physics for a fwd car.

Is there ANY word on when or even if RBR will hit the States?

I would love to buy RBR, if it is available here in the States.  If the
UK version works, don't know any reason why it won't, I would probably
just buy it from the Brits.

I have bought a couple PC games from the UK (MB Truck Racing and MB
World Racing) and both have worked fine.  I have RBR on pre-order from a
UK site.

PC games don't "use" the PAL/NTSC system like console games do.
Otherwise I'd also get F1 '04 for the PS2.

Well nice to know it will work but I wonder if they will add some
changes to the game for the US version making it worthwhile to wait.

There will be brighter colors on the cover, The picture of RB will be real
tiny to make room for the epilepsy warning and all the other legal stuff
that's required in the land of the free. ;)
