MY VIEW ON THE GAME

This game came as a complete surprise. I've never heard anything about it and I ran into it right at the very end. It had a crapy wheel and pedals set up in front of the computer, but that didn't bother me too much. I took my Mercedes for a quick spin. Graphics were smooth, crisp and very nice. It reminded me on World Sports Cars. I was able to play it in single player mode, with no AI. Just me and the road. I still don't know on which circuit I ran but I am sure it was an European track. Misano maybe... who knows? The truck handles like one would expect too. Its slow to react, down on speed and hard on brakes. The feeling was great. You could feel the rear end stepping out and laying a dare. A real hard core simulation I tell you. Sound was OK. What I would like to hear is a dozen of these beasts revving at the same time. The guy that was showing me the game said there is a demo on CD, but unfortunately there isn't. I am very excited about this product and can hardly wait to try it out.
