It is "fun" but there are a few problems / issues though.
1) Damage modelling. OK, so you can squish the chassis. But what about
things like suspension damage etc?
2) Collision detection. If you run along side the barriers, your wheels
actually dissappear *into* the barrier!
Of course, this is a demo.
Are these issues fixed in the full version?

Overall this is a nice title. For the asking price, you can't beat it.

Actually pretty ironic you used that web site as an example, since
Mark Twain, AKA Samuel Clemens, wasn't fond of black people himself.
Had you read any of the real text of his work, you'd dislike him if
you dislike Hal Turner.

I don't think there's any real, extant proof that Twain was a racist. In
fact, I doubt that he was. Twain's writings, far from being racist, were
simply the sign of the times. Put Twain in modern day America, and he'd be
as appalled as any about some of the racial inequities still found in the
US.

We never had Twain forced on us either. I read some of it outside of
school.
I had actually never heard (or heard of) Turner until you posted that
link. I don't understand 100% where he's coming from, but from what I
can tell he doesn't spout any more hate on his website than some of
his black contemporaries, like Nation Of Islam member Louis Farrakhan
<sp>.
I'm a firm believer in turning something off if you don't like it
instead of trying to legislate it out of existence. If it REALLY turns
you off, it's nice to know you have the right to speak your mind in
turn. Freedom of speech isn't a bad thing, IMO.

Downloaded it and played it online with a couple of guys from VROC.
And we had some serious FUN, this is truly a GREAT game!
I'd rate it as an arcade racer though, as Henrie posted yesterday, you
can't control the car in the air. And 12 of these short tracks is a
bit on the small size, but for that money it's really a great game..
FUN FUN FUN :)

Clemens DID fight for the Confederate militia, but I understand he had
a change of heart regarding slavery. I just found it ironic that the
Hal Turner show reference was used against a Mark Twain quote.

You preach about democracy but you helped install terrible dictatorships in
countries like Chile overthrowing democratically elected socialist
governments. You still impose a blockade on Cuba a country where the life
expectancy of the population has gone up by 20 years since the 'peoples'
revolution overthrew your (and mine) system of greed and division for a
system of equality.
I know you'll all come back and defend your country to the hilt, I don't
know why there's not much about my country I would defend but I see allot
more good in it then yours. Just have the intelligence to look a bit
sideways at things and not to always see things the way you have been taught
to.
Sorry not very r.a.s I'll shut up now,
