I have to agree that this game blows...
It's such a waste of the Xbox's power it's not even funny... but even FUNNIER is that there is actually SLOW-DOWN in places. I expect THIS kind of game for a Gamecube.
It seems... slow. Playing the Dreamcast version was a blast... I could play it all day... This... I can stay a 10 minute session. If you hadn't played the Dreamcast version (WHY did I sell my Dreamcast? IDIOT!!!), I could see why you might like this game.
It's also one of the smaller Xbox games... only a couple hundreds Megs.
This is yet another reason I believe in downloading games... I would have been pissed if I had bought this crap, and that's true 8/10 times.
There is a lot of CRAP on my beloved Xbox (Tour de France? Mike Tyson boxing?), but games like GunMetal and THPS3, not to mention HALO makes it all worth it.... and guess what I actually OWN those games...
