I think I should go have a bath now.....maybe an acid bath or something that will ge the feeling or dirtyness off my skin....anyone got a cheese grater?
I just ordered my Bill Box. I have gone over to the darkside and there's no going back now.
Just ordered Xbox + Halo + MGS2 and a controller S
I'll probably sell MGS2 because I don't think i'll enjoy watching it, have to see. Was gonna get Morrowind and a load of others but I restrained myself and will wait a while for more games.

I forgot to mention that Sega GT2002 is really good. So many options it is unbelievable. And I like the second hand parts, sure it is annoying if they fail mid race but it is all part of the fun.
For £20 Wreckless is worth a shot too.

I have the petrol and the stake right here Black Glove.
JSRF is excellent. Automatic grinding?! I found it fine. The police do chase you through levels still. Thankfully they got rid of time limits which made the original very difficult at some stages. And hence it would get boring doing the same stage again.
The map is alright. Races are not to bad. They get you the new characters, they are little more than a formality. And now you do not have unlimited boost, its linked to your spray cans.
All round an improvement on the original. Plus it looks gorgeous.

I can't help it if the world is populated with fools.
But seriously, if you don't like it then that's that, but there's a thousand games which have sold better which aren't worthy of licking it's boots.

No. It's the game.

Have you ever considered that maybe you sucks balls and not the game.

Yes it is. You search for tag points and graffiti souls and alternative ways of negotiating the architecture of the gameworld. Exploration is my book.

Hit the left trigger and Hey Presto! - camera resets behind the skater [like the original]. The automatic grinding is a bit trial-and-error at the beginning, but once you get to know the levels it's easy and a joy to play.

Must admit I aren't really a fan. I completed it on a rental (the story mode) and I was forcing myself to play through it. WHy they didn't include customisable sound tracks is beyond me.
No it isn't.
It sucks balls.
Take the sky scraper level. A huge level full of buildings, with about 6 pieces of graffiti spread across it. I spent 40 minutes trying to get round and I didn't find a single piece of graffiti bar the ones at the start.
JSRF is not an exploration game, most of the levels are too big and needlessley complication. The map is rubbish and trying to find the way to go in 3 dimensions on it is virtually impossible.
And if you ever screw up, which happens a lot because of the automatic grinding on everything and the poor camera, you usually end up back at the bottom floor and have to tediously make your way all the way to the top again.

Having no police nibbling at your ass every 5 seconds makes it more enjoyable. Gives you freedom and time to explore.
Agreed the graffiti-tagging was better in the original, but that's about it.
JSRF is bigger and better.

Oh, and I forgot to mention that the map is absolute balls.

Maybe I won't like it then, I hated the stupid races and having no police is just retarded.
