Ok, being burned out from playing everything else lately, I tried the demo of Re-volt. Oh my goodness what fun! So I picked up the game. What a BLAST!!! Ridiculously fun and just a real crack-up laughing good time multiplayer. Has anyone unlocked all the cars? I assume there are gas/glow cars from the "classing" of early stuff. I haven't really concentrated on winning all the trophies.

I like the game, BUT.... When I try to race the Museum track I get about half way through it, where you go up the escalator/conveyor belt and to the end of that room and it kicks me out to the Win98 desktop. Also the buttons in the Track Editor are a little slow to respond, and I can't figure out how to get into a track once I've made it and saved it (not that I've not had similar problems with other editors...). On top of all that I just snapped the spring on the accelerator pedal on my Formula T2 :( PII300 128megs o' ram Abit BH6 motherboard Diamond Monster Fusion video card (Banshee)

Ridiculously fun >and just a real crack-up laughing good time multiplayer. You're lucky. I can't find the dang game anywhere. Whoever is the distributor is, they've really messed up on this one. Even online ordering is patchy-- some places don't even list it, others say it's on backorder and can take longer than 30 days to ship. I too have played the ***out of the demo (and can consistently win that track), and I'm ready for more, dammit! Heh, heh, but NHL2000 comes out on Wednesday, so my game time will probably be dominated after then. I'll bet it's the pits when you develop an awesome and fresh game like re-volt, only to have the distributor throw a monkey wrench into the process. Of course, that's an assumption-- but I doubt the development shop decided to only release the game to like 5 different stores around the country! That would be great... gas-powered on a dirt track, ah the memories...

Doesthe full version of Re-Volt support the LWFF ??? I've got the demo, from a computer *** magazine, and it's a blast to let off some steam, but doesn't support Force Feedback Thanks Jay J

Just played the full game with MSFF wheel, It certainly has FF support, though it's too heavy and slow in default setting. /Ron

Well I want to revise my estimates: Its buggy. VERY VERY if you play lots of lan play. holy crap, I've never seen a machine lock up so damn much! Always in the "server restarted" segment. And if I try and use my SLI V2's, it takes about 3x to load as everyone else. (so I use my Matrox G200) Multiplayer lan play is ALMOST as much fun as when we first discovered Bomberman on the NES. Holy ***its fun! Off to drive my R5 turbo and UFO!
