It's basically Dr1ver (okay not very
clever but what the

And Driver 1 was
excellent....

Driver 1 can be got for next to
nothing now so why waste your money on Driv3r
then?

So I suppose that if someone
re-released a good PS1 game on the PS2 at full
price you would proclaim it to be great and
immediately rush out and buy it? Think about
what you're
saying

So if Final Fantasy 7 was
updated and re-released you wouldn't buy it? Just
like you won't buy GT 4 or MGS 3 I suppose, which
are effectively "updates" of the originals.

Maybe you should think about what you're
saying.

Because I already own

And because I'd like to play the
next in the
series....

Has anyone contacted the Sun
yet?I know its not exactly a good paper but you
know getting this sort publicity outside our
"circle" can only be a good thing
right.

I doubt they're going to be
interested, somehow.

Particularly as they
have their own "impartiality problem" going on -
namely that all reviews of Fox movies in The Sun
and News Of The World are always brilliant and at
a minimum score of 4/5. Convenient that - given
that News Corp owns the movie studio as well.

A good example is "The Day After
Tomorrow". There's about 5 minutes of entertaining
special effects, and then this film is probably
the worst film I've seen in years. And I see a lot
of films in a semi-professional
capacity.

You implied that you thought
the game was the same as driver 1. If you read my
post you'll see that what I said was that if a
game was re-released, not updated. I understand
that this is probably not what you meant but thats
how it reads

Right, because in the year
2004, cars do fly, people
can pass
through metal, invisible walls constantly
hinder our progress and large, obvious objects
have a tendency to pop up from out of thin air.

But no, I'm sure Reflections were supposed
to leave those in. We'll call them features, shall
we?

Having a great handling &
damage system doesn't make a full game. You need
good, enjoyable missions to bind the game
together. An interesting story to keep you
playing. A graphics engine that works when on the
move. Actors that are interested. Music that
doesn’t grate after 2 minutes of play Everything
needs to come together & in this it doesn't. A
few more months would of done the world of good.

Take the Getaway; though it wasn't the
greatest game obviously, it felt finished, the
story was interesting, the on foot sections worked
(even if a stupid camera did get in the way). And,
that I've noticed didn't have any technical faults
either. Though flawed it felt
solid.

If you'd bothered to read
the rest of my f*cking post I would have said it's
a technical underachiever.

Dave, you contradicted yourself

FFS.

How?

The game isn't
broken, there's nothing stopping you from playing
it through to completion. It works despite having
technical flaws.

Why do I get the feeling that
this is some kind of Atari guy (or even worse,
Future guy??) trying to hijack the thread and
divert attention from what we're talking about?
Maybe I'm just
paranoid

I bet this guy is secretly Nick

opinion.

Since your IP

or I'll have all your accounts

I would, but I can't be
100% sure that he's not just posting from the same
college or
something.....
