Screamer 4x4: opinions requested

I have downloaded the Screamer 4x4 demo, but unfortunately I'm at work right now so I can't try it. However, I don't feel like working so I'd like to start a poll instead. If you've tried Screamer 4x4, please give me your opinion of it. I've read many glowing reviews (and a couple of poor ones). The general tone seems to be that it is the best of the bunch, better than 4x4 Evo and 1NSANE. Nothing I've read about the latter two has interested me in those games, but Screamer sounds interesting. I'm a die-hard GPL fan, so I'm looking for a similar experience: realistic, difficult, and rewarding of effort. I also have a relatively slow PC (PII 333, 128MB, Voodoo 3 3000 AGP) so I'd like some idea of how it runs on this type of PC. Finally, I've heard that people are having trouble with controller config, so if you've tried it with an LWFF that would be useful information. C'mon, use your employer's time and network connection to help out a fellow gamer! Thanks :)

Rob- I'm at work right now too, but since i discovered sim racing a year and a half ago, i havn't worked a full day yet. My whole day seems to be spent reading this newsgroup and searching the internet for downloads and racing info. This thread peeked my interest because i feel like i already own the best games in each particular genre, but don't know which offroad sim is the most realistic. I only want to keep the best so any friends that come over can choose any form of racing and know their playing the best. Thats why nascar3 got deleted the day nascar4 came out. So in conclusion, i will be following this thread closely to see which off-road sim to get. I just hope that monster truck madness 2 isnt the best out there still. that would suck. lance Rob Adams wrote:

Screamer 4x4 is fun if you have no expectations Blues

Right Rob, You multi-task right into turn 4 and down the straight..... Then when the boss comes in & you say: "Get de "H" out ah here! Can't you see I'm multi'tasking! Hahahahaha NOT!!... Thom_j. "Rob Adams" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:t6wu6.44268$[email hidden]...

All those other "similar" titles are just *games*. Only Screamer has the thing presented as it is in real life. If you like the type of the game (going-between-those-posts), then the game is for you! If some review complains about non-existend visual damage, don't be bothered - they can be turned easily on. -- Mika Takala [email hidden]

No prob, I got my boss and the guy I share my office in both hooked on GPL. "Thom j." <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:C5Bu6.43249$[email hidden]...

I downloaded the demo and there is a button in the vehicle setup menu that says damage, but it is grayed out in the demo so I cant try it. This game seems to more of like Trials riding for 4x4 jeeps and not a fast racing game. Different but fun also. The Readme file says "This game is not about driving fast." Is this game released in USA yet?
