First, my setup: PII @ 450 128MB RAM 19GB HD Riva TNT \w 5.31 Drivers Turtle Beach Montego Sound MS Sidewinder FF Pro Initial Impressions: (3.5/5) The install went fine, takes up about 250MB. The CD cases is terrible....cardboard... For $42 I expect a real jewel case. Interface: (4/5) Overall, the interface is quite smooth. Two complaints however. A: Way to many 'Status' messages. For example, when you load a profile, a message appears saying 'Profile X Loaded', with an OK button. Also, when ever you buy a new part for your truck, a similar message appears. VERY annoying. B: You have to go all the way back up to the root to get the options menu. :-( One very cool feature is worth noting. There is a clock on all the menus! THANK YOU TRI! Now I don't have to Alt+Tab out to the desktop to find out how many hours I've wasted. Graphics: (5/5) The graphics run very smoothly, and look quite sharp. The lens flare is very good. Driving Model: (3/5) Keep reading the rest of the review, don't be put off. The physics in 4x4 are about I would say equivalant to MTM 1 and 2. Not sim by any means, but you do need to brake for most of the turns. Gameplay: (4.5/5) The game is very addicting, with an excellant career mode, which reminds me alot of that in DTR and DTRSC except there are many more parts, and no sponsorships. Also, the usual quick race and time trial modes. There a multitude of trucks and SUVs to choose from, with about 70 destinct variations, from about 25 or so base models. They range from the Toyota RAV-4 @ around $15k, to the $500k + race trucks. One big exception. NO JEEPS!!! This really irks me, especially since I drive a Wrangler in real life, but the other strong points make up for it. Multiplayer: (6/5) Yes, you read that right. Simply the most flawless multiplayer expirence I have ever been a part of. All match making is accessed in-game, through an intergrated GameSpy. There is very stringent anti-cheat code. Anyone who attempts to use hacked cars or trucks not only can't race, but actually keeps repeating a message saying 'I am a cheater. Do not race me.' Over my 56k modem, I was able to host games of 4 players with very minamal lag or warping. Overall: (4.75/5) Get it now! --- Tyler Eaves Visit Ultra Coaster Central!

Does it have an in-car view? I never could find one in the demo. It only had the arcadish bumper-view. -Larry "Alex Kihurani" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:sxnP5.3705$[email hidden]...
