In my case, the rabbits have only scented banana lipstick, and the monkeys have a preference for Jolt cola. The physics nibble. That is, I could put up with the physics for a little bit of fun. But now that I've tried the Rally Masters demo I've grown tired of the driving in Rally Championship, and now that I've seen the graphics of NFS:PU, I don't really miss the "photo-realism" of RC. However, the roads in Britain really are that narrow. Stephen

Just wondering if anyone has raced NFS:PU online lately, and if they know how long the registration at earacing.com has been down. Or when it will be back up. I want to try it online, even though from what I've read my ass will be kicked! Just picked up NFS: PU yesterday... hands down the best graphics, I think, and the driving feels right.. Cool racing, too - on the seaside track, two guys were ahead of me and they collided a bit before the tunnel - one got sideways and the other locked his brakes, but the sideways guy in front got spanked into the side of the tunnel opening and the guy behind him locking up his brakes (who was in front of me) T-boned him with a loud CRUNCH just as I barely avoided that mess by swerving to the right. YEAH!!! OH Man, though, how I wish there was a track editor!! (more on this with my next post) I exchanged Mobil 1 Rally Championship for it. That game had good graphics but the physics bite. BITE. They bite like a rabid, hungry monkey on speed in a room full of rabbits in banana suits. And come on, with the skinny tiny roads already. Andrew
