I is a very fun game but that is my opinion! Lots of Multiplayer options , too! Namely the Internet *** zone!

I recently test drove Sega Rally. It was fun for awhile, but I lost interest pretty quick. Is MTM any good for that type of racing? Thanks for the info!!! John

Depends, you have a PP5000 with A LOT of memory just sitting around + you have an attention span that would astound a chess champion?? If you answer yes, than sure, it's good. If you answer no to any of the above, than *BEWARE* the game stinks. I wish I never bought it now. I have a P75(stop laughing!!!) and I opened up 200 (give or take a few...I think) mb of memory and put it in. It runs terrible, theonly good thing is the range of trucks. Oh well, In all fairness to Microsoft(Did I just say Fairness and Microsoft in the same sentence???) They did a good job making the trucks, but everything else just bites! I'd play Sega Rally hours more than this! Hope I helped..cya...
I have to say that if you have a fast system and a 3Dfx card, MTM is a riot. Since the track editor has been released their are dozens of user-created tracks out there. Some of them are surprisingly good. My son and I play this game networked and have a great time with it. It is not a "serious" simulation of course. This is more of an off-road "Need for Speed". I have only tried the demo and Saturn versions of Sega Rally, but I found it to be ugly and choppy. In addition, the control seems very unrealistic to me. At least the throttle/brake/steering interaction in MTM seems to make sense. MTM does have a few strange "artifacts". For example, the shadow of your truck (seen during replays) seems to rotate to face the sun. It's not aligned with the truck. Also, the rear view should point downward when the nose of the truck points up but instead it points up. Best Wishes, -- --------------- Scott Pritchett
Do buy it! It is great fun. Not what would be considered a hard core sim these days, of course, but it has a pretty decent driving model for all that. NB: Anyone who knew and loved Stunt Car Racer should check out MTM. Until GC produces SCR2, this is the closest you will get <g> Cheers, Richard

rubbish. had a p90, and played mtm loads. even better now that there are many new tracks out there. just ubgraded to a p166+ and of course it flies, great in hi-res. if you have a steering wheel, you'll love it. of course, you could just try the demo version first... neil
