I\'ll remember this next time you euros bitch and whine about a game coming out a week or so later than in the US.
Why don\'t we have a demo magazine?
-
StAnZo is WRC 2001 any good ?, the footage released so far looks good but early playtests revealed bad handling. Your opinions ?
-
Videoholic: This is like the first decent demo disc we have had - OK GT3 demo was good too. Normally though OPS2 is bollock. Also when you say a week early its usually a lot longer than that like if its a month early we are lucky.
Wow! Finally a decent OPS2 with demos of games that haven\'t been released yet - good games too. Ill be picking this one up for sure.
-
..checked the last OPSM2 out yesterday, it´s a no go! There where like 6 playable demos... none of them where any good... time crisis 2, mx2002, spy hunter etc.
I think he got the US and Yurp-mag messed up! I know I was all hyped when I heard that ICO was coming as a playable once..
-

The WRC demo is excellent.
The visuals are very good with a great sense of speed, you can see for miles ,but everything in the distance is a little blurred.They have also included some of the real life videos which are great to watch too.
The sound effects are superb, they recorded every little sound you could think of, nothing is missing. tyhe replay music is Ok to.
Two courses are available in the demo, monte carlo and argentina.
Both are a little short, you drive the Ford Focus. the handling is a little off if you ask me, it seems to respond a little overquickly on the steering, and a little to slow on the engine pick up. but after 3 or 4 runs you get used to it, it also seems a bit light over the bumbs and jumps getting a little too much air.
There are a multitude of views to choose from in replay mode as well as about 4 or 5 in game views.
The damage is shown although it can be hard to spot at times and you really have to bash it hard to really mangle it, but damage also breaks radiators and steering and transmission which affects handling etc.
The car dirt effect is pretty good although it seems to only occur at any extent in the last 3rd of the stage.
Im really enjoying this Demo and have achieved 1.57.2 on the Argentina stage (which is the more interesting of the 2), and it has really wetted my appetite for this game

Sorry that i havn\'t had chance to answer any questions guys.. iv\'e been buzy working on bloody pc\'s

Tell that to the billions of people who call the Playstation 2 the PS2 instead of the P2. ;) That is...if you want to get picky.

You have a point m8.. i believe that the psx name has stuck as it was the prototype name for the Playstation.
It seems fine to call the mag opsm2.. but that\'s just because the psx name has stuck with me

subscriber here stanzo, got it in the mail on saturday.
WRC grows and Grows the more you play it (but only if you love motorsport sims not arcade driving games)
-
Yep, it sure does m8.. i managed to pick it up today and i love it. people should give this game a chance and
play it a few times before passing an opinion.. You right, my brother was quite unsure of it at first
but now he plans on buying a PS2 just for this game.
imho its Brilliant! Roll on the 30th
