Something that has been bothering me is that wrecking your opponents seems to be a standard tactict. I was just in a race and when the other dude didnt wreck him he said "hey thanks for not wrecking me," because he was EXPECTING to get wrecked. Anyway, later they wrecked me, so i got PISSED. I started in front of one other person and for the rest of the rounds just would stare in my mirror and block him and wreck the bastard the whole race, he got mad and quit. Good. I hate wreckers messing up the damn game so i gave him a big darn smack with the revenge belt. Strange though, once i took him out i couldnt log in anymore. Oh well. The game is so great, street races are AWESOME, but people dont think they need to race clean. What the hell is with them.

I just received my beta disk today. How's the game? Is it totally arcade? Are there any install issues (such as with D&D Pool Of Radiance, a game that could wipe out your system upon installing it)? roy wrote:

No, it's not really arcade, it's in a category I prefer to call "Sim Light", where the cars behavior is believable, rather than realistic, making you pull of some slides and such that you would more than likely not pull off in real life, but it makes it more instantly enjoyable for most, I kinda like it actually I must admit that I haven't played in a while though, the hours he server was open wasn't the best for a "Euro" who was supposed to be at work the next day, but overall I enjoyed it, bugs and all, lag wasn't too bad after the server upgrade some time ago either, but things might have changed a bit since then Beers and cheers (uncle) Goy "The Pits" http://www.theuspits.com/ * Spam is for losers who can't get business any other way * "Spamkiller" http://www.spamkiller.com

I'd say it's like Metropolis Street Race on the Dreamcast (which I could play for ever!) Doug
