>I definitely won't buy it... >Isn't the word 'simulators' in the name of this group ? Not all of us are 'elitists'. I won't look down on a game just because it's not considered a 'true sin'. Heck, I like a couple of games that might be called 'arcade'. I probably won't buy this one because I'm not really that much of a Vette fan. That's the same reason I waited until NFS:PU was in the bargain bin before I bought it. Unless it's a marque that I really like, I'm not all that excited to buy a 1-car game.

Actually, I heard a rumor that one challenge in the game is to chase Viper-driving mail carriers with a yellow C5-R! :-) I'm curious to see how this one turns out. It appears to be a different developer than Mercedes Benz World Racing. The MBWR PC demo was a blast. Might have to rent the Xbox version sometime. -jde

According to the "Drift King", I just watched the "Drifting Bible" the other night, those wacky Japanese :-), you're correct, suddenly lifting the throttle shifts weight forward and introduces a braking effect to the rear tires Beers and cheers (uncle) Goy "goyl at nettx dot no" http://www.theuspits.com "A man is only as old as the woman he feels........" --Groucho Marx--
