Got an 8.7 and the Xbox Live play sounds superb.

On another note Soldier of Fortune 2 got 5.8, was looking forward to it as well. Apparently the single player's a load of balls, the Live play's good though so I may check it out anyway.

Either that or i'll get Unreal Championship, I need to have a decent balls out DM shooty game.

Not sure yet but one of them looked very Japanese so a Tokyo remake looks to be on the cards. I think they are keeping all the cities from Gotham as well as remaking some of them and adding a few more. I am most interested in what cars will appear in the game as Porche and Ferrari have apparently agreed to appear in the game again and it was reported that a prototype for one of the cars would appear. Hopefully they will keep the 911 and 355 as well as adding some personal favourites.

If you go to Gamespy they have a small E3 movie which is around 3mb but it shows off the game running and some of the environments.

Haven't seen any info on Gotham 2 at all. I saw some screenshots and a few of them I had trouble working out if they were photos of real cars or in game graphics.

What cities are gonna be in the sequel?

If thats the case it could turn out to be a secret hit of the year. It will stop those who can't be bothered with the single player signing on LIVE and "owning" everyone else.

The Gamespy review said that it isn't the next Project Gotham Racing but then again it doesn't pretend to be. It will be a nice interval before Gotham 2 arrives over the Christmas period. Have you see the Gotham 2 E3 video? The scenery now has the same level of ddetail found in the cars and quite frankly it looks like one ofd the prettiest games ever made. The good thing is that the graphics aren't the main focus of the game as the gameplay plays an equally important part.

Hehe

I'll definetly be getting this. Hopefully as it's a racing/smashy game, I won't get a right royal whooping by some of pale-faced gits, like I tend to when I play 1st person shooters online.

Wonder if you'll have to go through single player to unlock all the cars so you can use them on Live. I'm guessing you will, could take a while.

I have read some great reviews for Midtown Madness 3 so far and both LIVE and singkle player are very good. The game is more LIVE orientated though which is good because I am looking for a solid LIVE title and this looks like all I will need.

If everyone who has LIVE gets it we can have some great fun without a load of americans who practically have every map in their heads :)
