"F Zero first impressions..."

Pretty decent game so far although a few things haven't really lived up to what I hoped. For starters the game isn't as fast as I originally magined and although it runs like a dream I still feel well in control of the vehicles which is something I never fealt when playing the Wipeout games. The tracks I have done so far in the Free run mode are damn fine to look at but they are a tad on the short side with very little variation in terms of track layout aside from the obvious visual aspect.

The handling is sweet and the vehicles are quality to control and with one of the easiest control layouts I have ever seen. Great to control, great to look at and some pretty decent audio tracks. Nothing absolutely amazing so far but none the less a solid title that I am hoping will get better the more I go into it. Will crack on with the Story mode later but for now I just want to get used to different vehicles.

So far so good.

No doubt. However when I go online I will try and put SR people (those who want me to!) on my friends list so there'll be SR-like injokes going on. Anyway my cousin and a friend are coming round later for some System Link/standard multiplayer.

I just found out I can get Mechassault as 3/4 player whilst using system link and Serious Sam co-op as 3/4 player with System Link too! Halo's manual isn't very clear but I expect that to work like MA and SS do.

Hmmm, mustn't forget 3 player Mario Kart either! :D

Might be a good idea.

I doubt it would have the same social value of offline multiplayer, though.

Which is why I'm getting 2 xboxes online. Live gaming with your friends is the best of both worlds.

this = making no sense. If everyone was exactly the same and you didn't have personal jokes with your friends then life would = rubbish.

Thus is the framework of the funniest humour - related or in-jokes. I just don't think I could have that much fun with someone I'd never met, whereas with my friends we can laugh about what's going on with us and stuff like that; everyday things.

I think most games on Live let you play against most of the world (PSO on Xbox excluded).

So timezones aren't as relevant.

You'll be lucky to someone playing at that time..

Mmmmmm Live.

It's called sleeping

Also you can have just as much fun online unless you like to joke about really bearded things which only you and the local people in your area may find funny.
