I started playing a deathmatch in the city area and hsa any one else noticed that it looks to be modeled after the city area on the first tm ? I only played for a few minutes but the dual arcing bridges seem to be there as well as the small river. The other thing I noticed is an awesome way to check out the particle effects.
Go down into the water and get a nice amount of speed up. You will notice the rooster tail of wake behind you. Next execute a tight turn and watch how the spray acts. It actually follows its natural course even though you just spun around. It falls towards the back of your car. I may need a life but it is just another way to see how much effort went into this game.
