    At first i dismissed this game as being for 5 year olds, then i read a review and watched video. Needless to say i just bought my copy through ebay, hopefully i will have it before the end of the week :D . The police chase and tag variants look WAY to fun. Plus they are going to have the audi s4 avant and the o so powerful mini-cooper :D.

    I did beta-testing for the PC version of Midtown Madness 2. It wasn't much to write home about, but I guess XBL support on the XBox makes it worthy of a look.

    I might rent this one and see how it plays.

    Quit talking about it your making me jealous!!! I'll have to hook up with you when i get it. The online play looks really fun, is it as good as it looks? O ya, and watch out for the mini-cooper!!! I bet that car out handles just about all the other cars, except for maybe the firetruck or garbage truck.

    game looks pretty good. in the far distance you can see some fog to hide the distance draw and keep the fps up. but the whole game is really detailed. little things everywhere are movable, crashable, and interactable. and like i said the online is almost flawless. great game play, and great ideas. unlike mc2, you have a lobby which you can join in at any time, and leave into at any time. you can hop in a race, and see that you car is too good/bad, go back to the lobby, pick another car, and get back into the race. its really cool. and the best part about online is that all the cars are unlocked. so you dont need to play the whole game just to get 'em. though, there are unlockables like new paint jobs and what not. but that you can try to get when you cable is out or something.

    :)

    I told you to stop! :evil: Man i cant wait =P~ the guy says he is going to ship thursday, but i begged and he agreed to ship it wenesday. Have you played the online mode where one person starts as a cop and as they tag people everyone becomes a cop? That looks like a lot of fun. Whats your favorite mode?

    yeah, hunter kicks some serious butt. the only problem is that the stages are so huge, and the cop cars are soooooo slow that it really takes time to get the "prey" if they are driving the faster cars. when you are the hunter, you turn into the paris cop car, which maxes out at 140 (viper, lotus, and konig max out over 200 mph!). there is a DC cop car, but thats still unlockable for some reason - guess you have to unlock that in the single player missions. and we are all hoping thats a way faster cop car. but the game still rocks. one person running from 7 cops chasing them for the last kill is pure fun.

    the game has horrible comments about it, and the worse reviews yet. here is what i posted on the mgp forums:

    MM3 vs SOF2 - IGN Reviews...
    The reviews are both locked, so I will just get in some final thoughts and scores. These are from IGN.com, and my personal site that I go to to help me pick games, so take it as my and IGN's opinion only. Since both games came out within the last 48 hours, I thought this would help people choose which one is better. Hope this helps...

    MM3

    If you love Xbox Live games, buy. If you like racing games, buy. If you like the idea of driving a MINI over the cobblestoned streets of Paris, buy. As a single player game alone, it's about an 8.0, but as a multiplayer game, it approaches the mid-nines. This is the most impressive first-party title since Rallisport Challenge, and it's well worth your well-earned dollars.

    Final Score: 8.7



    SOF2

    Soldier of Fortune II: Double Helix was a good game on PC. This sloppy port is not so great on the Xbox. When you have Halo and Ghost Recon in your library, there's little reason to spend $50 bucks on a very average shooter with sub-standard Xbox graphics. The only reason anyone should consider getting this game for the single player mode is if they crave gratuitous violence. If flying body parts is your thing then this is the game for you. If you don't live or die by gore, pass this one by.

    SOFII's only saving grace is that it does have multiplayer on Xbox Live. This is fun, there are a variety of modes, and you get to unleash slice enemies and friends to your heart's content. However, this game doesn't really offer any multiplayer modes that you can't find in other FPS titles, so again, only get into this game for the gore.

    Final Score: 5.8

    it just doesn't look apealing, or sound good. of course some will now say that ign knows nothing about anything they write about, but many people agree with them. i have rtcw, gr, and play halo all online. i dont need a sub par shooter in my collection just because its xbox live compatible and new. instead of sneaking up on husker and six, i rather chase them down with my 220mph car, while jumping and crashing into everything while they know im coming.
