MGPRS2 - Questions

Hi everyone, I noticed that MGPRS2 will be in USA/Canada at EB in a few days. Does anyone know how this version is different from the European/Quebec versions of the game? I read on ubi-soft's site that the game will include a car/track editor. Did the European/Quebec version include an actual track editor where you could create/edit your own tracks? or was it just a track graphics editor? (this is, from my understanding what it was). I might check this game/sim out, I'll see how much it costs first! :) There are some ideas I like, like variable weather, etc. that effect race strategy, unlike the absence of rain in the other F1 sims I have. Thanks, John

I have the European version, and the track editor is to edit the textures, not the actual layout. :-( -- Remove "spam jammer" to reply Graffiti seen above a urinal in East Grand Forks, MN: "Please don't eat the big white mints!" My Yahoo! pager ID is Galley_SimRacer

It's been available in Canada for months. Even my local Costco has it (packaged with a Ubi motorcycle title) for $35!!! Marc.

You can edit the game sounds, car paint schemes, interior***pit, edit the car's value. The only difference between the "new" version and the Quebec version is that mine is in french (of course, I had the option of installing the game in german, dutch, french or spanish (I think) but not in english). The thing I like about this game (maybe the only thing I like) is the tires. They are full 3d models (i.e. donut shape, middle part is "empty"). Other sims I saw, the tires were flat on the side, like a hockey puck (no hole in the middle). A nice effect in MGPRS2 is when a tire gets flat or damaged, you may end up only having the rim on that corner. It's the first time I saw that and would like other game to do the same thing.
